As someone who's been trying to do something VERY similar (port Mac OS 9 to the Nintendo Wii U), all I can say is I'm 1) absolutely impressed, and 2) absolutely encouraged, as my project keeps telling me "this is impossible" at every opportunity.

You are at a slight disadvantage without XNU and Darwin sources, but you can have leaked System 7.1 source, Ghidra and MCP to help make up the difference.

Godspeed.

Very cool! I'd love to learn more. That seems extra challenging considering Mac OS 9 is closed source!
Nice!

Are there one or two instructions that aren't available ?

I guess it might be possible to trap and emulate those?
