Anyway, for your Intel Mac, SheepShaver is your only option so be thankful for Gwenole Beauchesne. It's kinda weird that PPC Macs can run 22 year-old apps while the Intel Macs are limited to 5 years, but that's progress I guess. For whatever reason, Apple decided to kill the Classic mode on Intel-based Macs. The steps above will give you a working SheepShaver system, with the 'Unix' folder in SheepShaver set to be your Documents folder in macOS. Start up SheepShaver and start working in Mac OS 8 or 9. Only problem is a PPC-based Mac is a requirement. Start the SheepShaver Wrapper again, and it should now boot to OS 8 or 9, and the CD image will not be mounted. However, I would strongly recommend you stick with Apple's Classic mode, as it has much better compatibility, and integrates (almost) seamlessly with OS X. If the System and Applications folders of a non-bootable version of Classic were placed in a disc image and used in a PowerMac emulator, would the image be able to successfully boot OS 9 on the emulator? However, I recall that Mac OS Classic supposedly can be copied entirely to another hard drive by copying the System and Applications folders. Ever since 2003, Apple changed the firmware on their PowerPC machines so that they would no longer be able to boot the included Mac OS 9.2.2 naively.
