A Macintosh clone is a computer running the Mac OS operating system that was not produced by Apple Inc. The earliest Mac clones were based on emulators and reverse-engineered Macintosh ROMs. During Apple's short lived Mac OS 7 licensing program, authorized Mac clone makers were able to either purchase 100% compatible motherboards or build their ...
When copies of Mac OS X Tiger started running on non-Apple hardware, it was found that some processors were unable to run the OS. Rosetta, a binary translator that made it possible to run PowerPC programs on Intel processors (and later the kernel itself), required the support of the SSE3 instruction set.
KernelEX, which runs some Windows 2000/XP programs on Windows 98/Me. Executor, which runs 68k-based "classic" Mac OS programs in Windows, Mac OS X and Linux. Anbox, an Android compatibility layer for Linux. Hybris, library that translates Bionic into glibc calls. Darling, a translation layer that attempts to run Mac OS X and Darwin binaries on ...
PearPC is a PowerPC platform emulator capable of running many PowerPC operating systems, including pre-Intel versions of Mac OS X, Darwin, and Linux on x86 hardware. [1] It is released under the GNU General Public License (GPL). It can be used on Windows, Linux, FreeBSD and other systems based on POSIX-X11.
SheepShaver setup menu on Linux. SheepShaver is capable of running Mac OS 7.5.2 through 9.0.4 [1] (though it needs the image of an Old World ROM to run Mac OS 8.1 or below [5]), and can be run inside a window so that the user can run classic Mac OS and either BeOS, Intel-based Mac OS X, Linux, or Windows applications at the same time.

In order to run the MS-DOS operating system, Commodore released the Sidecar for the Amiga 1000, basically an 8088 board in a closed case that connected to the side of the Amiga. Clever programming (a library named Janus, after the two-faced Roman god of doorways) made it possible to run PC software in an Amiga window without use of emulation.
The Mac 68k emulator [1] is a software emulator built into all versions of the classic Mac OS for PowerPC. This emulator enabled running applications and system code that were originally written for the 680x0 -based Macintosh models.
