The three main options to emulate old Macs are:
- Mini vMac (emulates 68K Macs, System 0 - 7.5)
<http://www.gryphel.com/c/minivmac/>
- Basilisk II (emulates 68K Macs, System 0 - 7.5)
<https://basilisk.cebix.net/>
and - Sheepshaver (emulates PowerPC Macs, OS 7.5 - 9)
<https://sheepshaver.cebix.net/>
Will also run early versions of Mac OS X, but that isn't supported.
In all cases you do need a ROM image from the real Mac, as well as the
system software install disk images, etc. Best to read the information
and guides at Emaculation.com, https://www.emaculation.com/doku.php but
even then it can be tricky to get it working properly.
Emaculation.com gives the suggestion (not an actual link) of
RedundantRobot.com, <http://www.redundantrobot.com/sheepshaver.html>
which has various Mac ROM images.
The best place for old Mac software (and help) is MacintoshGarden.org,
<http://macintoshgarden.org> but there are other places too.
