    Mac OS 9 emulation on an x86 machine

    Has anybody had any success in the emulation of Mac OS's while running Windows XP?

    Preferably, I'd like to be able to run OS 9 in a window of Windows, so that I can edit physics models of Marathon games using Alchemist, which is an editor that only runs in OS 9.x.

    I've tried using SoftMac, but either I can't get a BIOS ROM image from a compatible chipset, or the OS 8 boot CD isn't working right, or something's just working wrong so I get the sick-faced mac image on booting OS 8, along with "0000000F 00000001".

    I started to try PearPC but I didn't want to bother getting it to work if I'd tried running Alchemist on OS X machines.

    And yes I have an OS X machine to work with, but my mom uses it for her work and we uninstalled OS 9 from it because it was causing problems with corruption when used.

    Any suggestions/instructions would be greatly appreciated, I've spent a couple of hours working on this and I couldn't get anything to work.

    Alternatively, if anyone can find cheat-tastic physics models for Marathon Infinity and Marathon 2, with modified, death-dealing fists, I would take those instead. My ultimate goal is to be able to play through the Marathon series and someone's sequel to it during the 15-minute blocks I get for homeroom at school. For that to work well I have to be able to kill things easily and not die, so I can get from one save point to the next during that 15 minutes, and for that I need modified physics.
