Obviously a ROM from a matching 68k Mac is needed to run the emulator. SheepShaver is not perfect (it cannot run MacOS 9.1 or 9.2), but enables users to run the vast majority of PPC software for. SheepShaver started as a commercial project in 1998 but is now open source since 2002. Hopefully someone is able to add the full versions of Fusion 1.X from a private archive. SheepShaver is a PowerPC (PPC) emulator which allows you to run Mac OS 7.5 up to Mac OS 9.0.4 on various platforms, such as on Windows. The demo is limited to one hardfile of 100MB maximum and a 640x480 Mac screen. But I’m putting those aside and discussing the emulators themselves.)
