DingusPPC: A more accurate PowerPC Mac emulator

Posted by: kataetheweirdo on 2026-01-25 06:03:29 This emulator has been discussed in the Infinite Mac topic already, but I figured it deserves its own topic. I've been working on this emulator for some time with a few other people. It's far from complete, but it's being actively developed. DingusPPC's source code repository is here. Releases for the emulator can be downloaded here.

(attached) Still not quite work for my case (booting self-created cd with yaboot/Linux) Bootable ppc cdrom Yes, thank you, with imac.zip rom from MAME emulation starts, but stuck lately when Linux kernel is loaded? forums.macrumors.com

Posted by: kataetheweirdo on 2026-01-31 09:41:23 We've got some fixes in for the decrementer. That said, there seems to be some interrupt issues in general and they're not easy to trace.
