This version of Mac OS X is for PowerPC ONLY. X86 emulators like VirtualBox, VMWare or Virtual PC will not work. Use real PowerPC Mac hardware, PearPC or QEMU PPC to emulate this. MacOS X 10.3, code named 'Panther', adds features such as Expose, fast user switching, and the Safari web browser. Qemu emulator free download. PICSimLab - Prog. IC Simulator Lab. PICSimLab is a realtime emulator of development boards with integrated MPLABX/avr-gdb debugger. QEMU can be built on Windows, but their instructions doesn’t seem to work for this modified QEMU. Please build on macOS or Linux instead. Please build on macOS or Linux instead. You can set up a virtual machine running Ubuntu 18.04 with Virtualbox or VMWare Player.
A quick tutorial on how set up a simple macOS VM in QEMU, accelerated by KVM. Jump over the break to learn more…
WHAT IS KVM?
Kernel-based Virtual Machine (KVM) is a virtualization module in the Linux kernel that allows the kernel to function as a hypervisor.
KVM converts Linux into a type-1 (bare-metal) hypervisor and requires a processor with hardware virtualization extensions, such as Intel VT or AMD-V.

INSTALL
Qemu Macos Download
1. Install dependencies. You might also want to install git (not shown in the screenshot ). Depending on your distro:
- For Ubuntu, Debian, Mint, and PopOS:
sudo apt-get install qemu-system qemu-utils python3 python3-pip - For Arch and Arch based distros:
sudo pacman -S qemu python python-pip - For Void:
sudo xbps-install -Su qemu python3 python3-pip - For openSUSE Tumbleweed:
sudo zypper in qemu-tools qemu-kvm qemu-x86 qemu-audio-pa python3-pip - For Fedora:
sudo dnf install qemu qemu-img python3 python3-pip
2. Clone this git https://github.com/foxlet/macOS-Simple-KVM.git and cd to path.
3. Run jumpstart.sh to download installation media for macOS (internet connection required). The default installation uses macOS Catalina, but you can choose which version to get by adding either --high-sierra, --mojave, or --catalina. For example: ./jumpstart.sh --mojave
4. Create an empty hard disk using qemu-img, changing the name and size to preference: qemu-img create -f qcow2 MyDisk.qcow2 64G
NOTE: Change “MyDisk” to your preffered disk name. Change “64G” to your prefered disk size ( min. 20G )
5. Edit basic.sh with sudo nano basic.sh and add this at the end:
Qemu Mac Os Guest
-drive id=SystemDisk,if=none,file=MyDisk.qcow2
-device ide-hd,bus=sata.4,drive=SystemDisk
Save the changes and exit.
NOTE: change “MyDisk” to your disk name set in previous step.

6. Run ./basic.sh
7. Boot into macOS Catalina Installer
8. Go to “Disk Utility” and format your disk
9. Once your disk is ready, you can install macOS Catalina. From now on, it’s your typical macOS install. No extra steps required.
10. You’re done! To fine-tune the system and improve performance, look in the docs folder for more information on adding memory, setting up bridged networking, adding passthrough hardware (for GPUs), tweaking screen resolution, and enabling sound features.
