This method does not require the use of older USB 1.1 hubs or device driver unloading. In addition, each Sprocket SDK has release notes and other documentation on late-breaking additions and new features found in the Game Sprockets. It is easier to treat a USB 2.0 or 3.0 flash drive as an ATA hard drive for older operating systems than using it as an USB 1.1 device.
The flash drive will now mount under Mac OS 9, Mac OS X, and Mac OS 11. Push the Initialize button (this will erase the flash drive!) MacOS 9 was abandoned in favor of of the Unix-ish NextStep/Openstep based Mac OS X. Like previous version, it lacks true protected memory or pre-emptive multitasking. Select "Mac OS Extended" as the file system type. Mac OS 9.x, based on Mac OS 8 was the final product based on the classic MacOS architecture. If you don't see it, then open "Drive Setup", select your flash drive from the list. Once you are at the Mac OS 9 desktop you might now see the flash drive mounted. If you want to try out more apps and games see this demo. This is a simulation of a Classic Macintosh from 1984, running System 7.0.1 with MacPaint, MacDraw, and Kid Pix. PCE.js emulates classic computers in the browser. In the QEMU monitor you could see if the flash drive is being used by typing "info block". PCE.js Mac Plus emulator running Mac OS System 7 a hack by James Friend. So for example if your disk is called disk4s9 you would use /dev/disk4. Start your Mac OS 9 VM with these option: sudo -hdb /dev/. In the section called "Device:", note its name (mine was called disk4s9).Ĭlick on the "Unmount" button to unmount your flash drive from the host. It is only one use case that few people would ever have to deal with. The only situation this would not be ideal is when you are running a program that test an USB flash drive. It will give you access to your files in the form of an ATA hard drive on the guest. The second way is to use the UNIX device file of the USB flash drive. This seems the most direct way of accessing files but is really very hard to accomplish.
The first way is to use the flash drive as an USB flash drive on the guest. Suggested command-line qemu-system-ppc -hda "Mac OS 9.2 HD.qcow2" -boot c -netdev user,id=mynet0 -device sungem,netdev=mynet0 -m 512 -rtc base=localtime -M mac99,via=pmuĪccessing a real USB flash drive from a guest like Mac OS 9 can be done in two ways. It was initially released in 1999 and discontinued in 2002. Mac OS 9 is the last of the "classic" Mac operating systems.
