[ReCreate]

[foxtrot4697]

[foxtrot4697]

*or any CFW

[Yerboogieman]

Does this work for OS 9 OR X?

[derfman24]

To install Mac OSX as a second OS, as opposed to Windows, you need an Intel compatible Mac OS, such as Tiger or Leopard. If you want to install an earlier Mac OS, using PearPC works.

[Yerboogieman]

why the hell do you want OS 7?

[Maccaro]

Why wouldn't you want to relive that childhood memory of a not so colourful mac.

[Yerboogieman]

It wasn't what it was put up to be in the movie hackers. Or else my school would be flooded by now.

[theburn7]

http://minivmac.sourceforge.net/

[onlyonebowman]

i got this on portableapps.com for my flash drive and it has stuff like mac paint but you can also get the torrent for it to with a lot of other stuff

[el-pedro]

Cool, i have a mac classic 2 and this might work for some of the software

[Biotele]

This is very useful. I have some old mac files that i want to transfer. Thanks.

[lookatmygrlyfont]

your welcome :)

[v10m]

how do you close the error messages like when it sais "please shut down the emulated computer before quiting

[lookatmygrlyfont]

you have to go to special > shutdown when your booted. or you could press ctrl + alt + delete and end the task.

[trickmirror]

Hey, cool idea, though i was wondering if you could help. ive managed to get the end bit, but when i move the hfs24m.dsk file in, nothing happens after. any ideas?

[lookatmygrlyfont]

umm well if your at the installer screen drag it in and hit switch disk until the drive says unitled. if thats not your prob let me know and ill help u out.

[lemonie]

As a purely impartial and genuinely inquisitive comment: What are the advantages of doing this? I believe I could install and run a Z-80 emulator on this machine, but I'm not sufficiently inclined to do so...

[lookatmygrlyfont]

well there is no point but you can say you installed it on your computer.

[lemonie]

What would be really cool to say you had installed on your machine? RISC OS?

[lookatmygrlyfont]

i guess

[LasVegas]

A note about the software. You can legally supply a link to Apple's System 7, but not supply the OS yourself. Apple likes to keep control of tthe distribution of this free software.

Also, try out SoftMac XP or Basilisk II for full color Mac Emulation!

[lookatmygrlyfont]

Well if i do that you wont be able to extract it on a pc. If you want ill give you a d/l link from apple then you can download it and my install package and just delete the one from apple so you can say you downloaded it from apple. Good luck finding a rom unless you have an old mac for Softmac xp and Basilisk II.
