Mac Os X 10.5.2 Install Disc 2 Download

Hi,

It started with trying to get the classic game Star Fleet I: The War Begins running in a Mini vMac-emulated Macintosh Plus 4MB. Then I stumbled upon this forum and learned that ane could use QEMU to emulate a PowerPC Mac for running Mac Bone X which intrigued me. Running Mac OS X 10.v Leopard is just the ticket I need to access some sometime files of mine that modern GNU/Linux software (which I at present utilize as a daily commuter) can't read.

After lots of trial and error and little, I managed to install and successfully boot into a fresh copy of Mac OS X ten.five on a 64-bit Windows 10 host based on the E-Maculation wiki instructions here. For reference, here'due south my Windows batch file for starting QEMU (the 01-05-2020 Qemu v.0 build for Windows with sound support and with fpu speed-up from here) to install Mac OS X:

Code: Select all

            qemu-system-ppc-screamer-50.exe ^ -Fifty pc-bios ^ -boot d ^ -K mac99,via=pmu ^ -m 2048 ^ -prom-env "auto-kick?=true" -prom-env "boot-args=-v" -prom-env "vga-ndrv?=true" ^ -drive file=[Mac OS X x.5 Leopard boot disc image as ISO file here],format=raw,media=cdrom ^ -drive file=[QEMU hd image in IMG format],format=raw,media=disk ^ -sdl ^ -netdev user,id=network01 -device sungem,netdev=network01 ^ -device VGA,edid=on ^ -g 1440x900x32

During the process, I learned two non-obvious things that may exist useful for others intending to exercise the aforementioned.

one. Information technology was hard to get a disc image of the Mac Os X 10.five install media that successfully boots into the installer in QEMU. In the end, the merely image that worked for me was this one from the Internet Annal: https://annal.org/details/Mac_OS_X_Le ... _Inc._2007
For some reason, the two x.5 disc images from Macintosh Garden don't kick for me.

2. When the Mac OS X x.5 installer is well-nigh to finish, it gave me an "Install Failed" screen that claims 'The installer could not brand the computer start up from the book "Macintosh Hard disk drive".' At this point, the installer offers to restart the computer for you to retry the installation. Exercise NOT click the "Restart" button! Instead open the "Choose Startup Disk" utility from the "Utilities" menu, click to select the book to which you installed Mac OS X ten.v (chosen "Macintosh HD" past default), then click "Restart...".

This will reboot the QEMU virtual machine back into the installer. Just manually turn off the virtual machine.

At present, remove the line in the QEMU batch file that attaches the installer image, and change the line with "-boot d" to "-kick c" and the virtual machine will now kicking into the freshly installed Mac OS X 10.v Leopard (at to the lowest degree for me). Internet admission is bachelor via Safari 3.0.4 though most pages decline to load because of what looks similar outdated HTTPS support in this years-erstwhile version of Safari.

My chief problem now is I notwithstanding tin't effigy out how to prepare up a shared folder between this QEMU Mac OS X x.5 guest and my Windows ten host! The instructions in the E-Maculation wiki is for Mac Os ix.2.ii and not for Mac Bone X...

However, I hope this information is helpful for someone and saves some time fiddling.
