Just to understand the context ... would an SDL2 driver for Mac OS 9 enable first-class support for Mac OS 9 as a guest OS in modern VM hypervisors?

No, this is not something that would enable a VM. This allows SDL2 code to be used in the classic Mac OS as a library.

Uh, did an editor change the title? I's MacOS 9, not macOS 9 ;) This is classic Macintosh. Please change it back to the original.

It's Mac OS 9, title cased with a space between the words https://i1.wp.com/lowendmac.com/wp-content/uploads/about-mac...

Extremely cool project!

It's really a great time to be a classic MacOS developer - tons of resources out there such as Retro68k, AmendHub, and a small but active community of people interested in sharing examples and help.

Back in the day when this stuff was modern I didn't have many resources or people to talk to about it, so exploring what could have been is an interesting endeavor.

True true, I just submitted it with the casing of the original title. Though actually if you read the page they've tested support down to Mac OS 7.6!
