Hey everyone,

I want to run Ubuntu and Mac OS 9 on my PowerPC Leopard Machine. I want to run Ubuntu for fun, to explore new regions... and I want to run Mac OS 9 to play Classic games like Backyard Baseball. I need help trying to figure out how to do this...

Thanks,
Michael Lindahl
 
i would use virtualbox it is free and very good
it is at virtualbox.org, it can run ubuntu, a good linux choice

Mac OS9 can't emulated on a mac you need to partition your machine and install it on that

I don't think that virtual box is availible for my Power PC mac... It will only let me select the Intel Mac...

It runs on both PPC & Intel. It is a bit of a bear to setup though. Highest Mac OS it runs is 9.0.4, and you have to get an Apple ROM from Apple's website. The problem is, you need OS 9 handy & already running in order to extract the ROM so that it can be used. So, you need another Mac that already runs OS 9, or you have to look around for a boot ROM in other places.
