A few months ago, I was able to get some old macOS (OS X) versions to work on my M1 MacBook through UTM and emulating a PowerPC Processor. However, this no longer works. I am using the EXACT same settings I was using before, and now I am getting this error "Guest has not initialized display." I've tried 10.0 and 10.2 which I know for a fact work (because they worked before). I have physical 10.3 installer DVDs in a filing cabinet back home, so I can test those out next week also.

One possible reason I though of is because the ISOs are corrupted, but I highly doubt that. Am I missing something, or am I just doing it completely wrong? Screenshot attached.

I'm getting the same problem when trying to create a PPC virutal mac for the first time. Same error message on a newer intel Mac.
