Rosetta is a dynamic binary translator developed by Apple Inc. For macOS, an application compatibility layer between different instruction set architectures.It gives developers and consumers a transition period in which to update their application software to run on newer hardware, by 'translating' it to run on the different architecture.

What is SheepShaver?
Os X Emulator For Windows 10
SheepShaver is a MacOS run-time environment for BeOS and Linux that allows you to run classic MacOS applications inside the BeOS/Linux multitasking environment. This means that both BeOS/Linux and MacOS applications can run at the same time (usually in a window on the BeOS/Linux desktop) and data can be exchanged between them. If you are using a PowerPC-based system, applications will run at native speed (i.e. with no emulation involved). There is also a built-in PowerPC emulator for non-PowerPC systems.
SheepShaver is distributed under the terms of the GNU General Public License (GPL). However, you still need a copy of MacOS and a PowerMac ROM image to use SheepShaver. If you're planning to run SheepShaver on a PowerMac, you probably already have these two items.
Supported systems
