So they are not commercially-viable, stable solutions: read: not even close to the quality going into Fusion. NOTE: Both of these projects are really old and at less than 0.5 versions of maturity. It's definitely not the fastest environment but you can definitely switch between 10.2, 10.3, and 10.4 (PowerPC) all in the same XP image.Īlso, off Fusion-topic and completely separate if you have a beefy PowerPC box, you should look at the Mac-on-Mac which can run 10.0 - 10.3 on OS X or Linux PPC.
I have run PearPC to host Darwin x86 and OS X 10.3. You would have to have the OS retail licenses, family licenses or a developer's ADC license to do this.Īlso there are some technical hurdles to get networking working like interesting drivers on the guest side of an XP VM running PearPC. Leaving the legal stuff at that, if you're not concerned about speed you can deploy PowerPC versions of OS X on Windows XP using an emulator like PearPC at There are legal problems running OS X in any kind of VM container as Eric mentioned.
I've been looking for a solution on how to have ONE machine that can boot with all of these, instead of 3 machines - each one booting a different version. >My organization supports Mac OS X 10.2, 10.3 and 10.4.
In case anyone doesn't want to read the PDF, the list goes:Įdited to make Bochs reference more clear -etung 2007.02.21 16:53Įdited to add link to Getting Started and add guest OS list -etung 2007.02.21 16:56 I found it linked from the release notes. The list of supported guest OSes is in the Getting Started PDF on page 3. Sorry, I know it's probably not what you wanted to hear. Both VMware and Parallels have said they won't allow OS X as a guest until this is resolved. You'd need emulation, such as Bochs, to run the guest on different hardware than it was built for - but it'll be slow.Ģ - Lots of people want OS X on OS X, but there's legal issues that needs to be worked out first. Fusion only runs on x86 hardware, but 10.2 and 10.3 only run on PowerPC. There are (at least) two reasons for this.ġ - Virtualization only allows you to run guests that could normally run directly on the hardware. Unfortunately, Fusion will not do what you want.
