About Virtualbox for Mac VirtualBox is a powerful x86 virtualization product for enterprise as well as home use. Not only is VirtualBox an extremely feature rich, high performance product for enterprise customers, it is also the only professional solution that is freely available as Open Source Software under the terms of the GNU General Public. The Mac 68k emulator is a software emulator built into all versions of the classic Mac OS for PowerPC. This emulator enabled running applications and system code that were originally written for the 680x0-based Macintosh models. With a few exceptions, notably Connectix's RAM Doubler, the emulator ran all software with no noticeable impact other. This compatibility layer consists of an emulator/dynamic recompiler of user mode PowerPC code and a layer between PowerPC code and native x86 code that handles endianness issues. Another layer can make x86 applications run on top of the PowerPC Mac OS X libraries, which in turn run on x86 hardware, so Mac OS X applications that have been. Since old Macs also use a PPC processor, I was wondering if it would be possible to write a much faster emulator for PowerPC. I know you would lose much of the optimized code, but there's already a port in development for ARM. And wouldn't it be much easier to write a PPC port? Most code wouldn't need to be recompiled, all you would need is a. PearPC emulates a PowerPC like CPU similar to an G3. This is the same CPU used in older Apple hardware such as the first model iMac. Apart from being able to emulate various Unix OS for PowerPC, PearPC can also emulate Apple Mac OS X even up to the latest version (v10.4, aka Tiger).

X86 Emulator For Powerpc Mac

Here's a list of important programs and documentation that have made the development of PearPC possible:

• HT Editor. The best and most powerful free hex editor, text editor and executable file editor, disassembler and analyser. And more. (Note: I'm a co-developer ;) ).
• Midnight Commander. I couldn't do serious programming on a computer without this program.
• Linux. Contains lots of good but rather undocumented code.
• xnu. Thank you Apple for releasing the source code of the your kernel.
• pem64b.pdf A wonderful document describing the PowerPC instruction set.
• PC-Hardwarebuch, Hans-Peter Messmer, 3. Auflage, Addison-Wesley, 1995. Ten years old but still one of the best hardware books you can find. Maybe the current edition is even better.
• 1275, a lot of resources for those ugly openfirmware things.
• IBM. PowerPC stuff.
• Motorola. PowerPC stuff.
• Bochs An emulator for the x86 architecture.
• MOL, PearPC uses the video.x driver and some ideas from MOL.
• Yaboot A GPL'd boot loader for Macs
• XSkat, it takes a while to boot Mac OS.
• HFS utils used to boot from HFS partitions.
• HFS+ utils used to boot from HFS+ partitions.
• Pagetable, interesting blog about various assembly stuff (trivial, puzzles, rants...)

Other PowerPC emulators

• SoftPear, a different approach for Mac OS X on non PowerPC hardware.
• QEMU, emulates also ARM, Sparc and x86 processors.
• SheepShaver, runs MacOS 7.5.2 thru 8.6.
• Basilisk II, emulates either a Mac Classic (which runs MacOS 0.x thru 7.5) or a Mac II series machine (which runs MacOS 7.x, 8.0 and 8.1), depending on the ROM being used.

Powerpc Emulator Mac

Thanks for reminding me, i've seen my machine play smooth animation with Classicmode in Tiger but haven't been able to reproduce it on demand. Even so, it's different now, where I get pulsations of about 2 seconds smooth between about 4 seconds rough, maybe closer to 1.5 seconds smooth then 4.5 seconds rough. It historically had been constantly rough animation, of course. But I made some major improvements to my Mirror Door 2003 rig recently, that must be causing smooth animation in Tiger Classicmode. Namely, I use a firmware script to change the model id from PowerMac3,6 to PowerMac7,2 (G5/2003) and the OS X reacts to it by optimizing DDR. Then I also disabled 'Beam Sync'. Maybe if I had 2.0 GHz CPU rather than my 1.58 and if I had Radeon 9800 rather than my Radeon 9600, then it would already be smoothed. Anyway, I've tried various tweaks to the classicmode's system folder with no luck. I have a new theory that I forgot to test, so I'm saying thanks for reminding me. It might be when I run classic for the first time following a 'fresh' install is when I seen it be perfectly smooth. I have multiple Tiger partitions and occasionally restore them to clone images which have never run classic, so that'd explain what I've witnessed.

What's stopping the official G5 from booting OS9?

I don't like Leopard whereas Tiger is my fav, weird huh? There's a 100 things Apple did with Leo that drove desktop computing in the wrong direction. The intel switch was the wrong direction, a conspiracy nonetheless. Part of Apple's plan for iPhone security was to have less capable desktops. Risc is obviously superior, they think the smartphone is more important and so there's multicore risc inside the phones, they handicapped the desktops using cisc as a way to better protect the phones against hacking, and Leopard the iOS wannabe... all planned.
