Another day another NT QEMU post. This time we have stock Windows NT 4.0 PowerPC running on QEMU, with complete emulation of the BIOS / Firmware and everything. Networking and 1280×1024 resolution.
QEMU branch: https://github.com/tenox7/qemu/tree/powerpc
Ready to run image: http://files.42718.net/mirror/tenox/os/winnt/VMs/qemu-ppc/nt40powerpc-qemu.tar.lz
The image includes recently acquired Microsoft Office, SDK Tools, Visual Studio and a bunch of ported tools and utilities.

Would Qemu’s PPC emulation be capable enough to run Solaris/PPC now too?
A fork is!!
I’ll have to get back on to it
yes it is, next blog post coming up tonight
More importantly, can this emulator run OS/2 PPC?!
ITCHING TO TRY IT OUT!
bootable CD not bootable without reinstalling via a system services floppy… And it’s been 35 years since I touched an Alpha system that would even remotely be comparable to this lol
I’ll wait for the experts, I reckon!
yes, going to post tonight
