Jul 13, 2007 I wanted to install Mac OS X Tiger on a PC with Vista already preinstalled. I think Vista allows multiple OS booting. And since Tiger can now run on Intel machines, I wanted to see how I can install OS X. Do I need to have a dedicated hard disk for installation or can I install it on a partition in my HDD as we install Linux? This version of Mac OS X is for PowerPC ONLY. X86 emulators like VirtualBox, VMWare or Virtual PC will not work. Use real PowerPC Mac hardware, PearPC or QEMU PPC to emulate this. MacOS X 10.3, code named 'Panther', adds features such as Expose, fast user switching, and the Safari web browser. For Mac OS X 10.2 (Jaguar): set promenvbootargs to '. Start PearPC, wait and follow the instructions given by the installer. Click the Customize button, and uncheck Additional Print Drivers, Additional Asian Fonts, and Localized Files.

Here are some notes on how I set up an installation of OS X Tiger (10.4)on an emulated PowerPC G4 using QEMU,on a modern x86_64 Mac.

ITunes forever changed the way people experienced.

This setup was performed using QEMU 5.0.0 (obtained via brew install qemu).

Note: at some point during this process -cdrom /dev/cdrom seems to have stopped working, but -cdrom /dev/disk2 works.

Step 1: Initial installation

In this step we will format the disk and perform the initial OS X installation.

Download a copy of the2Z691-5305-A OS X Tiger installation DVDand burn it to a physical DVD.

If you find any regression in the driver, make sure to make an issue and specifically mention that you are using this version of the driver.The move to 1.0.0 is an attempt to move this driver to proper semantic versioning in conjunction with the modern update. So wireless controllers are still not supported at this time, but your wired controllers should work exactly as intended. This release requires macOS 10.11 or later.It looks like the hang on boot that some users were experiencing was caused by the Xbox One controller Bluetooth support hooks that had been added to the driver. It does not imply any level of completeness.Make sure to allow access to the developer in System Preferences Security & Privacy. Controller for mac 360.

Note: for some reason qemu does not seem to be able to boot .iso files of the OS X installation DVD (using -cdrom tiger.iso),but if you burn that .iso to a physical DVD and then use -cdrom /dev/disk2, it works.

Boot the DVD to verify it works:

If you see the grey Apple logo, the DVD is working correctly with QEMU:

Quit QEMU and create a 127GB QEMU disk:

Boot the install DVD with the disk attached and being the installation. QEMU will exit when the installer reboots.

When the installer reaches the disk selection screen, there will be no disks to choose from, because the disk has not been partitioned yet:

Start up Disk Utility:

'Erase' the disk to partition and format it:

Quit Disk Utility and the installer should now see the newly formatted partition:

The install will take quite some time (over an hour). When it completes, it will reboot, which will cause QEMU to exit (due to the -no-reboot flag).

At this point you may (physically) eject the installation DVD (from your host Mac).

Mark the disk as read-only to prevent any accidental writes to it (which would cause any snapshots based on this disk to become corrupt):

Step 2: User account creation, system updates

In this step we will create a user account and install all of the system updates.

Create a snapshot of the disk (think of this as forking the hard drive):

The system updates can either be installed using the Software Update utility (iteratively repeated across many reboots),or you can download and install them manually.

The manual route is quicker because some of the updates are bundled, and you don't have to wait on Software Update to detect which updates have / haven't been installed yet.

To install the updates manually,download (on your host Mac) item #29 (Tiger_Updates.dmg_.zip)from the 'Mac OS X for PPC' pageof macintoshgarden.org.

Unzip that file and convert the dmg to a DVD image:

We can now use tiger-updates.cdr as a virtual DVD with QEMU.

Boot the G4 and create a user account:

Note: if you plan on using Software Update rather than tiger-updates.cdr, you man omit the -cdrom tiger-updates.cdr line from the above command.

Note: this boot may take several minutes to get started.

This install was set up with user macuser and password macuser:

This installation was set up with the Central timezone:

Disable the screen saver and power-saving features:

Open up System Preferences and:

Display & Screen Saver -> Screensaver -> Start screen saver -> Never
Energy Saver
- Put the computer to sleep when it is inactive for -> Never
- Put the display to sleep when the computer is inactive for -> Never

If you did not use Software Update, open up the Tiger_Updates 'DVD' and install all of the updates:

If you go with the updates DVD route, make sure you run Software Update at the end just to be sure you've covered everything.

Mark the snapshot read-only to prevent accidental writes to it:

Step 3: Web browser, video player, text editor

In this step we will install TenFourFox, VLC and TextWrangler.

Create a snapshot of the disk:

TenFourFox is a fork of the Firefox web browser which is currently supported on Tiger/PPC.Their website links to the latest version,FPR22.

The latest version of VLCfor Tiger/PPC is 0.9.10,which is still available from their downloads page.

The latest version of TextWranglerfor Tiger/PPC is 3.1,available via Bare Bonesor macintoshgarden.org.

Strangely, no combination of using Disk Utility and hdiutil to create .dmg or .cdr images of TenFourFox.app seemed to work with Tiger:

Note: in retrospect, perhaps this was an APFS vs. HFS+ issue?

I resorted to burning TenFourFox, VLC, and TextWrangler to a physical DVD and passing it through to QEMU.

Note: even burning to a physical CD-ROM didn't work -- it had to be a DVD.

Drag the applications into /Applications.

Shutdown the G4 and mark the disk read-only:

Step 4: Xcode, Tigerbrew

In this step we will set up a development environment for building modern Unix software.

Create a snapshot of the disk:

The latest version of Xcode Tools for Tiger/PPC is 2.5,which is still available via Apple (search for 'xcode 2.5' at https://developer.apple.com/download/more/, requires login),or via macintoshgarden.orgfrom their Xcode page.

Again, I had to burn this to a physical DVD in order to use it with QEMU.

Boot the G4 and install the Xcode Tools:
