OS X 10.2 Emulation on Intel Mac

[11colmil]

Hello,

I have a shiny Intel Mac. I also have an old OS X 10.2 disk (retail, not computer restore) I would like to emulate it on my Intel running Leopard for old times sake.

Anyone know how I would go about doing this, if it is even possibe?

According to this thread you can't.

Ugh. I guess i'm going to have to use pearpc in boot camp.

I don't see how this would be so hard to do. I mean, they can emulate os 8-9 with sheepshaver. I'm pretty sure they use PPC platform emulation on that...

Oh well, i guess i couldn't say. I'm not a developer. Maybe, just maybe, if we had the pearpc source code it might be able to be ported to Mac.

Please do not quote me on this. But can't VM-Fusion on the PC allow you to use Mac OS X on it? Or is it for INTEL Mac OS Server? Someone can most likely correct me on that. :/

There is a rough port of PearPC to OS X:

Though it is described as "slow as a slug."

You should buy an old eMac or something similar on ebay. They go for dead cheap and will be more useful than anything you can find for your existing Mac.
