[Qemu-devel] qemu-system-ppc

[Fabrice Bellard <fabrice@bellard.org>]

Hi,

Just a clarification about the state of the QEMU PowerPC system emulator 
in the CVS head: I commited important changes in order to be able to 
launch Mac OS X, but important changes are needed in the PPC BIOS too 
and they are not yet commited because some merging is necessary. Sorry 
for the inconvenience, I am trying to find a temporary solution.

The state of Mac OS X is that the graphical installer launches, but the 
mouse and keyboard behavior is erratic in this mode. Darwin/ppc seems to 
work correctly on the command line. The performance is far from optimal 
because generic TLB flush optimisations must be done (I began to 
implement them but the code is not stable enough to be usable).

The PREP target should work as before except that -M prep should be used 
instead of -prep ('-M' selects the actual machine or platform you want 
to emulate).

Fabrice.
