How about Roman web designer Alessio Atzeni’s spiritual followup, which emulates Mac OS X Lion’s boot, login and desktop screens using only CSS3 properties, and no image files at all. VMac was an open source emulator for MAC OS on Windows, the Linux-Unix, NeXTSTEP, OS/2, DOS & the other platforms. Although vMac has been abandoned, Mini vMac an improved spinoff of vMac is currently developed.
(There's no video for QEMU for Windows - PPC emulator, runs Mac OS 9.1, 9.2 + OSX 10.0 to 10.5 yet. Please contribute to MR and add a video now!)
What is QEMU for Windows - PPC emulator, runs Mac OS 9.1, 9.2 + OSX 10.0 to 10.5? QEMU is a very versatile and extremely broadly supported open source virtual machine emulator. In 2016, QEMU could finally achieve what has never been possible before: emulating Mac OS 9.0.4, 9.1 and 9.2.2 (albeit still it's quite slow and the sound support is kind of buggy at the moment). Note that QEMU can also emulate Mac OS X 10.0 up to 10.5. At some point in the near future hopefully, QEMU will fully replace SheepShaver, but at the moment, SheepShaver still runs faster in most situations. Advantages of using QEMU vs SheepShaver:
These bundles were put together by 'that-ben' and are intended to be the easiest possible for beginners. Just launch the 'QEMU - Mac OS 9.2.2.bat' (or 'QEMU - Mac OS X Tiger 10.4.11.bat') file and wait 30 seconds for Mac OS to boot up. Nevermind the yellow screen with a VRAM partition not found error, it will go past this without any problem. The Mac OS 9 package contains a 1GB disk image on which Mac OS 9.2.2 is already fully installed. The Mac OS X package contains Mac OS X 10.4.11. BTW, if you need a larger disk image, you can grab one instantly from here: Blank hard drive disk images (3GB HFS up to 30GB HFS+) Networking is fully functional thanks to the sungem driver that's already pre-configured in these downloads. Right out of the box, it will network through your host machine but on its own subnet branch. The virtual machine's IP will be like 10.0.x.x. Your Windows host IP would likely be something like 192.168.x.x but what's nice is that the virtual machine can still tunnel back to your host machine's subnet branch. So, for instance, you could perfectly well make a server/client environment between Mac OS 9 in QEMU and your Windows host machine. Pre-installed software in the Mac OS 9.2.2 package includes:
Pre-installed software in the Mac OS X 10.4.11 package includes:

Other applications included are Microsoft Excel, Microsoft Word, Microsoft Works, Pagemaker, and an assortment of decompression utilities. Games included are Risk, Cannon Fodder, and Shufflepuck.
The images can be downloaded for local use.
Various incarnations of System 7, and then Mac OS 7, existed, spanning 1991 through 1997. The software bridged the shift from the 68000 series processors to the PowerPC chip, and ran on hardware as new as a Powerbook 3400c and the Twentieth Anniversary Macintosh.
