[Request] Classic Environment Support or QEMU Virtualization of classic MAC OS

[ribbybbir]

I was trying to get a hold on some old Macintosh games/programs. I tried this virtual machine. After a long pain painstakingly process, yeah, it works!

Followed these links for instructions though.

Unfortunately, old games don't work on new MacOS. I remember Realmz/Divinity. It's too bad there are no compatibility patches for the game to work on new versions. I was wondering if there is a way to get the classic environment to work on new versions? That, or you can find a way to install Mac OS version 9 or earlier instead?

I think we're being directed here: #636

I rather stick with Kernel-based Virtual Machine (KVM) because it is based on Unix. This docker router seems to be specific for later versions. I am trying to go compatible on the classic environment.

At the moment, I will attempt to install classic MAC from this installation procedure.

Nevermind, the Mini vMac 26 emulator can emulate the Classic Environment, even if it is to a certain degree. Nothing could be absolutely perfect.

I just got to the qemu/kvm/virt-manager uninstallation procedures, which are not founded anywhere! The website's referenced pages are bad advice because they include the OS dependencies. Because of just a few pictures and an GUI alternative, I thought third party sites are valid enough advice. I couldn't tell which dependencies are program specific dependencies. By accident, I almost removed all of them! Good thing I know how to stop the command process while the OS is still functional. Gasped for air. Reinstalled missing programs and dependencies. Updated. Will test some programs and reboot session. Will inform if I am at least still successful to retain my OS.

Don't get me wrong, the instruction on this github repository is still solid. Maybe people should include the command qemu-system, qemu-kvm, virt-manager, or direct readers to navigate GUI pointer to System > Virtual Machine Manager. As for risk to OS, I will have to unstar this github repository for safety.
