It will not boot on Snow Leopard. I think from my hackintosh experience that this should be a fairly simple hack to enable older Mac OS X to boot. You'd need to edit one of the .plist files, perhaps the boot.plist or PlatformSupport.plist, to add in the newer Mac identification. Once you've done that, the problems would be newer hardware. These would require editing the info.plist files within similar older hardware kexts to hopefully enable support of the newer hardware. It would be a long shot, but I think there's a chance of it working. You'd need to start with a previously installed completely upgraded System disk, then mod the file for the Mac model and attempt boot with some boot flags, probably -x -v to start with. If it panics, note the kext that's causing the panic, and see if you can either find a newer kext, or modify an older one to support the newer hardware PID VID. This could be very problematic, and getting full functionality may be difficult or impossible. Finding a cheap or free older Mac would likely take less time and effort. -- -- You received this message because you are a member of G-Group, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.

Since I wrote the above, James has written me privately, and I have responded to him: A 2012 Mac mini, with OS 10.8 or higher, can be made to run OS 10.6.x through a Virtual Machine with Snow Leopard Server software within Parallels Desktop, or VM Fusion, or similar. But then we are back to the OP's emulation inquiry, and perhaps into the why bother? category.
