PearPC can run various PowerPC OS's but in Mac terms it can run OS X and nothing earlier
Sheepshaver emulates early PowerPC Macs and can run OS's 7.5.2 to 9.0.4 VMac emulates early 68k Macs and runs up to 7.5.5īasilisk II emulates later 68k Macs and can run up to OS8.1 Would a P4 2.8ghz be beefy enough to replicate G3/400 performance?Įdit 7/7/11: So to summarise what seems to be around for Windows based on replies received and then browsing wikipedia: With sound and video so I can play Ambrosia games like Barrack, Apeiron, Mars Rising. So I wondered if someone could recommend a PC-based Mac OS emulator that could run OS7.5 through to OS9? Windows or linux. I have a spare motherboard but it's really the hd that bothers me and I'm tired of buying secondhand gear that - in the case of hd's - often doesn't work for long.
My old Mac 5500 with a G3 upgrade is probably going to die some day, the hd can't last forever anyway and although it takes IDE hd's it only takes ones that have Apple firmware available.
