This page details how to install Mac OS 9 in QEMU. '''Mac OS 9''' is an operating system created and released by Apple in October of 1999. This was the final release in the classic Mac OS series. The OS was famously discontinued in 2002 with a mock funeral by Steve Jobs at the Apple Worldwide Developers Conference.
 
This article will describe in detail how to install Mac OS 9.2 with mouse drivers, sound, networking, and graphics. This tutorial should work with Mac OS 9.0 and 9.1 (which needs an additional flag; more details below).
==Prerequisites==
===QEMU===
You need [[QEMU/Installation|QEMU]] installed, specifically the PowerPC version since old Macs used PowerPC instead of x86. On Arch you can install it with <code>pacman -S qemu-system-ppc</code> and on Debian/Ubuntu you can install it with <code>apt install qemu-system-ppc</code>. The Windows version should come with it already installed.
 
===Mac OS 9.2.1 CD===
