What is QEMU for Windows - PPC emulator, runs Mac OS 9.1, 9.2 + OSX 10.0 to 10.5? QEMU is a very versatile and extremely broadly supported open source virtual machine emulator. In 2016, QEMU could finally achieve what has never been possible before: emulating Mac OS 9.0.4, 9.1 and 9.2.2 (albeit still it's quite slow and the sound support is kind of buggy at the moment). Note that QEMU can also emulate Mac OS X 10.0 up to 10.5. At some point in the near future hopefully, QEMU will fully replace SheepShaver, but at the moment, SheepShaver still runs faster in most situations. Advantages of using QEMU vs SheepShaver: https://entrancementvids405.weebly.com/dash-os-x-for-linux.html.
These bundles were put together by 'that-ben' and are intended to be the easiest possible for beginners. Just launch the 'QEMU - Mac OS 9.2.2.bat' (or 'QEMU - Mac OS X Tiger 10.4.11.bat') file and wait 30 seconds for Mac OS to boot up. Nevermind the yellow screen with a VRAM partition not found error, it will go past this without any problem. The Mac OS 9 package contains a 1GB disk image on which Mac OS 9.2.2 is already fully installed. The Mac OS X package contains Mac OS X 10.4.11. BTW, if you need a larger disk image, you can grab one instantly from here: Blank hard drive disk images (3GB HFS up to 30GB HFS+) Networking is fully functional thanks to the sungem driver that's already pre-configured in these downloads. Right out of the box, it will network through your host machine but on its own subnet branch. The virtual machine's IP will be like 10.0.x.x. Your Windows host IP would likely be something like 192.168.x.x but what's nice is that the virtual machine can still tunnel back to your host machine's subnet branch. So, for instance, you could perfectly well make a server/client environment between Mac OS 9 in QEMU and your Windows host machine. Pre-installed software in the Mac OS 9.2.2 package includes:
Pre-installed software in the Mac OS X 10.4.11 package includes:

Running raspbian in QEMU on Fedora 19 Posted on by sq4ind Posted in Uncategorized — 2 Comments ↓ As I mentioned earlier ( Zabbix templates for Raspberry PI ), I want to develop Zabbix template for Raspebrry PI, but unfortunatelly my Raspberry PI could no be used to do such things now, so I decided to run raspbian on QEMU. Booting and running Mac OS X High Sierra with QEMU+KVM on Windows 10. Hello to everyone,I'm trying to virtualize mac os X High Sierra using the QEMU+KVM version for Windows 10 x64 bit following this tutorial. I've managed to get QEMU Raspbian running on OS X but I can't figure out how to get networking to work. I've seen details if configuring TAP network interface but this was on an Ubuntu host. Is there something equivalent on OS X? Has anyone managed to figure out Raspbian networking from a QEMU instance on Mac? Thanks in advance! The author of that tutorial does not use the default Raspbian Buster Lite image. Default Raspbian is a 32 bit version. You should use the image that the author used and if there are problems you should also ask the author. It has nothing to do with default Raspbian.
If you're building software for the Raspberry Pi (like I sometimes do), it can be a pain to have to constantly keep Pi hardware around and spotting Pi-specific problems can be difficult until too late.
One option (and the one I most like) is to emulate a Raspberry Pi locally before ever hitting the device. Why?
- Works anywhere you can install QEMU
- No hardware setup needed (no more scratching around for a power supply)
- Faster feedback cycle compared to hardware
- I can use Pi software (like Raspbian) in a virtual context
- I can prep my 'virtual Pi' with all the tools I need regardless of my physical Pi's use case
Given I'm next-to-useless at Python, that last one is pretty important as it allows me to install every Python debugging and testing tool known to man on my virtual Pi while my end-product hardware stays comparatively pristine.
Getting started
First, you'll need a few prerequisites:
QEMU (more specifically qemu-system-arm
)
Frostwire for mac os x yosemite. You can find all the packages for your chosen platform on the QEMU website and is installable across Linux, macOS and even Windows.
Raspbian
Simply download the copy of Raspbian you need from the official site. Personally, I used the
2017-08-16
version of Raspbian Lite, since I don't need an X server.Kernel
Since the standard RPi kernel can't be booted out of the box on QEMU, we'll need a custom kernel. We'll cover that in the next step.

Preparing
Get your kernel
First, you'll need to download a kernel. Personally, I (along with most people) use the dhruvvyas90/qemu-rpi-kernel repository's kernels. Either clone the repo:
or download a kernel directly:
For the rest of these steps I'm going to be using the
kernel-qemu-4.4.34-jessie
kernel, so update the commands as needed if you're using another version.Filesystem image
This step is optional, but recommended
When you download the Raspbian image it will be in the raw format, a plain disk image (generally with an
.img
extension).A more efficient option is to convert this to a qcow2 image first. Use the
qemu-img
command to do this:Now we can also easily expand the image:
You can check on your image using the
qemu-img info
command Google chrome for mac os sierra 10.12.6.Starting
You've got everything you need now: a kernel, a disk image, and QEMU!
Actually running the virtual Pi is done using the
qemu-system-arm
command and it can be quite complicated. The full command is this (don't worry it's explained below):So, in order:
Running Raspbian On Qemu For Mac High Sierra Installer
sudo qemu-system-arm
: you need to run QEMU asroot
-kernel
: this is the path to the QEMU kernel we downloaded in the previous step-append
: here we are providing the boot args direct to the kernel, telling it where to find it's root filesytem and what type it is-hda
: here we're attaching the disk image itself-cpu
/-m
: this sets the CPU type and RAM limit to match a Raspberry Pi-M
: this sets the machine we are emulating.versatilepb
is the 'ARM Versatile/PB' machine-no-reboot
: just tells QEMU to exit rather than rebooting the machine-serial
: redirects the machine's virtual serial port to our host's stdio-net
: this configures the machine's network stack to attach a NIC, use the user-mode stack, connect the host'svnet0
TAP device to the new NIC and don't use config scripts.
If it's all gone well, you should now have a QEMU window pop up and you should see the familiar Raspberry Pi boot screen show up.
Now, go get yourself a drink to celebrate, because it might take a little while.
Networking
Now, that's all well and good, but without networking, we may as well be back on hardware. When the machine started, it will have attached a NIC and connected it to the host's
vnet0
TAP device. If we configure that device with an IP and add it to a bridge on our host, you should be able to reliably access it like any other virtual machine.![High High](/uploads/1/2/6/6/126647408/774243284.png)
(on host) Find a bridge and address
This will vary by host, but on my Fedora machine, for example, there is a pre-configured
virbr0
bridge interface with an address in the 192.168.122.0/24
space:I'm going to use this bridge and just pick a static address for my Pi:
192.168.122.200
Reusing an existing (pre-configured) bridge means you won't need to sort your own routing
Running Raspbian On Qemu For Mac High Sierra Upgrade
(in guest) Configure interface
NOTE: I'm assuming Stretch here.
Open
/etc/dhcpcd.conf
in your new virtual Pi and configure the eth0
interface with a static address in your bridge's subnet. For example, for my bridge:You may need to reboot for this to take effect
(in host) Add TAP to bridge
Finally, add the machine's TAP interface to your chosen bridge with the
brctl
command:Now, on your host, you should be able to ping
192.168.122.200
(or your Pi's address).Set up SSH
Now, in your machine, you can run
sudo raspi-config
and enable the SSH server (in the 'Interfacing Options' menu at time of writing).Make sure you change the password from default while you're there!
Run Qemu On Raspberry Pi
Finally, on your host, run
ssh-copy-id [email protected]
to copy your SSH key into the Pi's pi
user and you can now SSH directly into your Pi without a password prompt.
