Select the Mac OS X 10.9.vmx file and select Open. Go to Edit virtual machine settings. Either by right clicking on the Mac OS X 10.9 object on the left side panel or via the tabbed window. You can keep the default resources if you prefer or bump them up, I personally bumped them up to 8 GB and 2 vCPU. 10 Best Windows Emulator For Mac 1 – Parallels Desktop. Parallels Desktop is a paid emulator which is the best in this field! You can get this emulator at a price of $53.97 on your Mac OS. This emulator allows you to run windows application smoothly on a Mac OS.
SheepShaver is a MacOS run-time environment for BeOS and Linux that allows you to run classic MacOS applications inside the BeOS/Linux multitasking environment. This means that both BeOS/Linux and MacOS applications can run at the same time (usually in a window on the BeOS/Linux desktop) and data can be exchanged between them. If you are using a PowerPC-based system, applications will run at native speed (i.e. with no emulation involved). There is also a built-in PowerPC emulator for non-PowerPC systems.
SheepShaver is distributed under the terms of the GNU General Public License (GPL). However, you still need a copy of MacOS and a PowerMac ROM image to use SheepShaver. If you're planning to run SheepShaver on a PowerMac, you probably already have these two items.
