I think I will have to boot both Tiger (PPC) and Snow Leopard (Intel) and choose one later, based on performance. Plus with some themes I can reduce the influence of brushed metal theme (I must confess that I like the pinstripe theme). Tiger IMHO is possibly the "turning point" for OS X history, being the first ever OS X with an Intel build (10.4.4), even though in reality Leopard is the real turning point, but given the conditions I listed above, Tiger is the closest I can get to it. 10.5 is more for actual hardware that needs the more recent architectures but is PPC (G5 and high end G4 Macs). If instead you want to run OS X PPC and 32-bit Intel software, 10.6 is the right choice.

If you only want one, Tiger gives you Classic as well, so most software from the original Mac OS through 10.4 should work.

They have to play it so the UTM dev could upgrade his QEMU build. Unless QEMU devs get it working on main repository, but if the initial support is there, they will most certainly get it to work, though it's not their priority right now. That said, I wouldn't expect something from him for m68k emulation soon. I think the dev has seen that UTM is a very good competitor for Parallels and VMware on M1 machines, and this explains his focus on modern vms.

He has been doing work to get virgl 3D running (works only for linux vms), by porting another patch from akihikodaki's GitHub repo. But in general, the direction UTM is headed now (especially with Apple Silicon transition) is more towards newer, modern virtual machines than retro machines. Yeah, I think it was me who pointed the dev to the screamer fork before, in early 2020 (unless he has heard about it before I came in). Since they jumped on Screamer, I thought they might opt to do the same type of fork hopping for 7.x and A/UX emulation of the m68k core. However, back in August, UTM was using MCAyland's Screamer fork of QEMU-PPC, which is definitely NOT the stable build (as it's incompatible with snapshotting at the moment).

As far as I know, it does have a Quadra 800 emulation, but MacOS (for m68k) currently will not fully boot. UTM is always on latest QEMU (stable) version.
#8086 emulator for mac update
Someone on MacRumors is working on an unofficial update for PPC Leopard, called "Sorbet Leopard". Meanwhile my MacOS 9.2.2 VM is still going strong and stable. He prefers to stick to upstream QEMU as much as possible, Screamer patch was only an exception because it was so well developed that it could (almost) be pushed to upstream one day.ĮDIT: Now that I am on a M1 MacBook Air, I'll have to use UTM more for an arm64 linux web server and play with an arm64 Windows 11. he does have his reasons (understandable). There's a patch on GitHub for that, but only for vanilla QEMU. I love UTM and I find it very good, but two things keep me from using this:ġ) UTM currently does not run a VM from any other folder or external driveĢ) It does not have Glide/MESA passthrough for DOS/Windows games. You can create such a file with e.g., "dd if=/dev/zero of=pram.img bs=256 count=1" or "qemu-img create -f raw pram.img 256" Where pram.img is a file of exactly 256 bytes long. The parameter ram (pram) can be saved and loaded from a file: This rom is found when placed in the pc-bios folder and named MacROM.bin, or can be selected by using the -bios command line option. To boot Mac OS, you need a Macintosh Quadra 800 rom.

Note: Mac OS currently will not fully boot on qemu-system-m68k
