Free PowerPC Mac Emulators

QEMU CPU Emulator QEMU supports the emulation of x86 processors, ARM, SPARC and PowerPC. Host CPUs (processors that can run the QEMU emulator) include x86, PowerPC, Alpha, Sparc32, ARM, S390, Sparc64, ia64, and m68k (some of these are still in development). When emulating a PC (x86), supported guest operating systems include MSDOS, FreeDOS, Windows 3.11, Windows 98SE, Windows 2000, Linux, SkyOS, ReactOS, NetBSD, Minix, etc. When emulating a PowerPC, currently tested guest OSes include Debian Linux. SoftPear PC/Mac Interoperability SoftPear is a compatibility layer that allows you to run Mac OS X on PC (x86) hardware. It works by dynamically recompiling Mac programs (including Mac OS X) into x86 binary code that runs on your PC, and adding a layer that translates things like endianness. SheepShaver An Open Source PowerMac Emulator SheepShaver allows you to run classic MacOS applications on BeOS and Linux. It includes a PowerPC emulator which is used if you are using a non-PPC system. It supports MacOS 7.5.2 to 8.6 as the guest operating system, a colour display, internet and LAN networking via Ethernet, serial drivers, SCSI Manager emulation, file exchange with the host OS, access to floppy disks, CD-ROMs, HFS(+) partitions on hard disks, sound, etc. PearPC PowerPC Architecture Emulator PearPC emulates a PPC (PowerPC) Macintosh, allowing you to run Darwin PPC, Mac OS X and Linux in the emulated machine. Supported hosts include Windows and Linux (and possibly other Unix-type systems).
