The source code for Mac OS X drivers, which have to be compiled under Mac OS X, is included in the Mac-on-Linux source package. The following front ends are implemented on the host system:

virtual hard disks as QCOW images (QEMU Copy-On-Write).

Network (with special driver for Mac OS X 10.2 "Jaguar" and newer).

Audio (with special driver for Mac OS X 10.2 "Jaguar" and newer).

a separate ROM image is only required in “old world” mode (pre-Mac OS 8.5).

Since the last version is currently from June 2007, it is problematic at best to use Mac-on-Linux on a current Linux / PPC system.ĭevelopment history, schematic (PowerPC as a rectangle)įor Mac-on-Linux is not a classic emulator, but a so-called virtual machine (see virtualization ).
