~pcwiz Posted January 27, 2008 Author Share Posted January 27, 2008 OK, but will this allow me to play 3D games for OS 9? Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/84068-any-way-to-run-os-9-on-windows/#findComment-596998 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Special-K Posted January 28, 2008 Share Posted January 28, 2008 There's 3D games for OS 9? Hey pc, I thought you were a master at VM? Oh wait, OS 9 was PPC so we can't hack it to work...I got it. Kinda forgot that tidbit. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/84068-any-way-to-run-os-9-on-windows/#findComment-597448 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Templeton Peck Posted January 31, 2008 Share Posted January 31, 2008 There's no 3D support in SheepShaver. Some games will work in software rendering (Quake works pretty good), but most QuickDraw3D/OpenGL apps will simply crash SheepShaver. It's certainly possible that 3D support will be added eventually, but the task would not be trivial. However a lot of Mac games that require 3D hardware are cross-platform anyway.

~pcwiz Posted January 31, 2008 Author Share Posted January 31, 2008 Well I have SheepShaver running on OS X with COI (Classic on Intel) and although its lightning fast I don't think I'll be able to play Nanosaur and Bugdom on it Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/84068-any-way-to-run-os-9-on-windows/#findComment-603042 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Templeton Peck Posted February 2, 2008 Share Posted February 2, 2008 Both those games require 3D acceleration, so they'll crash SheepShaver (I already tried).

mac2pc Posted February 12, 2008 Share Posted February 12, 2008 hi try basilisk II or fusion 3.0 for windows some info about emulator at macwindows.com Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/84068-any-way-to-run-os-9-on-windows/#findComment-619923 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oss-Seven-Point-Six Posted February 12, 2008 Share Posted February 12, 2008 try basilisk II or fusion 3.0 for windows some info about emulator at macwindows.com Those are Mac 68k emulators... To run Mac OS 9, you can try SheepShaver, but as it has been stated, you can't use QuickDraw. You may also want to try QEMU PPC edition, but that is more for Linux PPC editions than Mac. You could even try "Mac-on Linux", but that requires Linux on a PPC processor, so you be better off getting an actual Mac...

Metuas Posted June 19, 2008 Share Posted June 19, 2008 Well I have SheepShaver running on OS X with COI (Classic on Intel) and although its lightning fast I don't think I'll be able to play Nanosaur and Bugdom on it There is a version of Nanosaur, that, as far as I know, runs on Tiger and Leopard. It came installed on a G4 I got off of ebay. Dunno if that's a different one though.
