mac os 9 emulator

hello,

I have an ibook g4 with mac os 10.4. Is there an emulator that can run mac os 9 on my ibook? I like classic but I want to see the old os 9 desktop and such.
Thanks,


TheMacGuy 12

iBook G4 12" 768MB, Mac OS X (10.4.6)

There are programs to make Mac OS X look and behave more like Mac OS 9, as my FAQ explains:

Earlier in my FAQ, I explain which Macs can boot Mac OS 9, and can't. If it is that important to you, you may want to get an older Mac.

vMac is ggod choice. it is an emulator for MacPlus. it can handle system 6.0.7 perfectly and 7.1 i think. But as MacPlus had a B&W display, it is lack of color.
ROM is a problem. You can capture your own ROM if you own a MacPlus. You can also find it from internet but do not forget. But I think It is NOT legal.
