If you're planning on running the treasures of the past you'll find here on real old Macintosh hardware from the 90's, you sir/madame, deserve to win an Internet! For others, there's SheepShaver, a PowerPC emulator capable of running Mac OS 9.0.4 down to Mac OS 7.5.2 and there's Basilisk II, a 68k emulator, capable of running Mac OS (8.1 to 7.0). Water rain mac os. Mud (itch) mac os. Under Mac OS X 10.4 to 10.8, download this installer (19.5 MB). In both cases, double-click on the downloaded file and run Sweet Home 3D application found in the opened folder. If the system refuses to launch Sweet Home 3D for security reasons, click on its application icon while maintaining the ctrl key pressed, and choose Open in the contextual menu that will appear.

OSX 10.13 (High Sierra)
VBox 5.1.28
Just upgraded an iMac to OSX 10.13. All VBox guests broke because of 3D acceleration: The VB frame became disconnected from the window's content, a rather strange effect. Apparently this is a Known Problem for a while.

The fix is to disable 3D acceleration.

Which brings me to my observation: Does 3D acceleration actually make any difference? My experience says 'No.' Enabled, disabled, the guest seems to perform the about the same whether the host is OSX or linux.

How would I get a more objective reading on the usefulness of 3D Acceleration?
