It's a front-end for QEMU with the SPICE tools enabled. We're talking about UTM - Universal Turing Machine for macOS and i*OS, not the billing software for Windows. Better than the QEMU aarch64 virtualization. It does a REALLY good job of this, with the VMs running at essentially native speeds for me, with full hardware access. This version has a basic setup wizard and built-in support for the Apple Virtual Machine, which can boot macOS 12 and various flavours of Linux. I am yet to choose and build a VM for an OS X machine on UTM, but first I need to optimize my current machines, including OS 9.2.2įor Apple II emulation I found a free option called OpenEmulator on github, it's not as good as the Apple ][ (paid) emulator, but does the job nicely for my dads nostalgia moments.įor those of you playing with UTM: if you go to the Github page for UTM, it's got the UTM v3.0.2 beta available. I noticed that you also have DOSBox installed, though I didn't have much luck trying to play games on it and a Win98 install - it always crashes. The potential is there, just need someone to unlock it.Īny other interesting games with software rendering engine to try out on MacOS 9.2 and UTM? I'd be interested in trying them out. I got one or two Direct3D games running on Windows 11 ARM64 through UTM on my M1 MacBook Air, not very playable, but it was expected, I'm on M1 Air but on M1 Pro it should be much better.Īs for native classic Mac games, it just shows that we really need a port of DOSBox or PCem's voodoo card for QEMU to be used on UTM, in order to unleash a gaming beast here. Since you are on M1 Mac, I think you can get the linux version using 3d if you install Ubuntu ARM64 with virtio-gpu-gl.
