Copland in a VM

Hi! So, I searched and downloaded Copland DD1E4 for my Intel iMac. I tried to install it in Basilisk, but it seems it's not a compatible Mac. Then, I searched for compatible Macs on the Internet, and I found here that only some Power Macintoshes, as the 7500, can run it. But I don't know any Power Macintosh emulator! (if exists) Also, I can't buy a Power Mac, as I live in Spain, a country where anybody uses Mac

So, can I emulate a compatible Power Macintosh model? Or I can't test this beta? Please tell me how if possible! Thanks in advance

You can emulate a PowerPC Mac, with SheepShaver, but I think it can be a matter of which Mac ROM the Installer expects from the machine. Not all Mac ROMs works in SheepShaver, or BasiliskII for that matter.
Anyone with more experience?

It's impossible to run Copland in any of the current emus. They don't fully emulate Macs, just the bare minimum needed to run the OS.

Your only hope is to find a suitable Mac at some stage (took me a long time too).
