SheepShaver started as a commercial project in 1998 but is now open source since 2002.

10.8 Emulator For Windows Software For Macintosh

SheepShaver is not perfect (it cannot run MacOS 9.1 or 9.2), but enables users to run the vast majority of PPC software for Macintosh on their PC, which is all things considered, extraordinary, especially back in the year 1998.

It already contains a compatible ROM file (MacOSROM.rom), a ready 250MB disk image on which Mac OS 9.0.4 is already fully installed (as well as an optional empty 30GB, yes 30 gigabytes, disk image to accomodate heavy disk space use).

Please note that the 250MB base image is not intended for users to install more software.

If you intend to install software in your SheepShaver VM, then you will need to expand that blank 30GB file and move your Mac OS 9.0.4 installation to it.

Its fine if you do not set it, but know that its gonna default to your Usersyour-usernameDocuments until you set it elsewhere.

This happens with SheepShaver, its not 100 stable and sometimes extensions loading while the virtual Mac OS is booting can crash SheepShaver, notably the Virex antivirus extension.

I finally got it booting today following this tutorial but it is really unstable.

10.8 Emulator For Windows Mac And Nodejs

Im trying to build an ios cordova app which requires me to use mac and nodejs but basically every nodejs command is running and then crashing virtualbox.

What I have done so far is far more complicated than some of the articles I was reading.

I am not going to carry two laptops around all the time and often have to use windows, mac, and Linux so VMs are the best option for me.

I also like changing parts in my laptop and apple hate people doing that so I dunno am I willing to buy a mac computer when I cant mess with it but if they want to sell me a vm then I am happy to pay for it.
