If you don’t have one, you can download one from Mac OS 9 Lives: Mac OS 9.2.2 Universal Install. Install Mac OS 9. The Mac OS 9 Lives method won’t install quite like an original Mac OS 9 installer would, but instead will use Apple System Restore to restore an image onto the hard drive. Start up QEMU with the following options. Unfortunately, Snow Leopard does not support Classic. In addition, no Mac which has an Intel processor, such as your MacBook has, can use Classic or OS 9. There are emulators available, such as SheepShaver, which are designed to allow the use of certain versions of OS 9 on Intel-processor Macs. However, I seriously doubt that either Myst or Raven would be able to run in that environment - any program which needs direct access to the machine's hardware (like the graphics card) will not work.
BestWireless Mouse for MaciMore2020
I've used both wired and wireless mice in my computing lifetime. Since I switched to wireless, however, I've been much happier. I'm not worried about the length of my cord, getting tangled with my other peripherals, or using up precious USB ports. My best investment was Apple's Magic Mouse, which is designed specifically for Mac and works like a mini trackpad. There are other great options out there, too. If you don't like the flat design of the Magic Mouse, check out the rest of our favorites below.

$100 at AmazonOur recommendations
There are all different types of mice on the market for every kind of user. I find the MX720 to be the most well-rounded with great features at a great price, supporting up to three Bluetooth connections at once, letting you quickly switch between multiple devices at the touch of a button.
Apple's own Magic Mouse is genuinely perfect for gesture-based mousing around on the Mac, having been made by Apple to blend a traditional mouse with multitouch gestures. We just wish it had a less cumbersome charging method.

(There's no video for QEMU for Windows - PPC emulator, runs Mac OS 9.1, 9.2 + OSX 10.0 to 10.5 yet. Please contribute to MR and add a video now!)
What is QEMU for Windows - PPC emulator, runs Mac OS 9.1, 9.2 + OSX 10.0 to 10.5? QEMU is a very versatile and extremely broadly supported open source virtual machine emulator. In 2016, QEMU could finally achieve what has never been possible before: emulating Mac OS 9.0.4, 9.1 and 9.2.2 (albeit still it's quite slow and the sound support is kind of buggy at the moment). Note that QEMU can also emulate Mac OS X 10.0 up to 10.5. At some point in the near future hopefully, QEMU will fully replace SheepShaver, but at the moment, SheepShaver still runs faster in most situations. Advantages of using QEMU vs SheepShaver:
These bundles were put together by 'that-ben' and are intended to be the easiest possible for beginners. Just launch the 'QEMU - Mac OS 9.2.2.bat' (or 'QEMU - Mac OS X Tiger 10.4.11.bat') file and wait 30 seconds for Mac OS to boot up. Nevermind the yellow screen with a VRAM partition not found error, it will go past this without any problem. The Mac OS 9 package contains a 1GB disk image on which Mac OS 9.2.2 is already fully installed. The Mac OS X package contains Mac OS X 10.4.11. BTW, if you need a larger disk image, you can grab one instantly from here: Blank hard drive disk images (3GB HFS up to 30GB HFS+) Networking is fully functional thanks to the sungem driver that's already pre-configured in these downloads. Right out of the box, it will network through your host machine but on its own subnet branch. The virtual machine's IP will be like 10.0.x.x. Your Windows host IP would likely be something like 192.168.x.x but what's nice is that the virtual machine can still tunnel back to your host machine's subnet branch. So, for instance, you could perfectly well make a server/client environment between Mac OS 9 in QEMU and your Windows host machine. Pre-installed software in the Mac OS 9.2.2 package includes:
Pre-installed software in the Mac OS X 10.4.11 package includes:
