The Mountain Lion VM runs inside of VirtualBox 5.0.4, and VirtualBox runs inside of OS X El Capitan, on my 24" iMac. SheepShaver in turn runs inside of an OS X Mountain Lion 10.8.5 Virtual Machine. So I run OS 9.0.4 inside of the SheepShaver emulator, which emulates a PPC Mac. My BBS and Hotline server run Mac OS 9.0.4, which is the Mac Classic environment. So, what is interesting is how I am doing this. So, being as my PPC Mac emulator - called SheepShaver - is a 32-bit app, very recently, I set up a new environment, so that even after Apple kills 32-bit apps, my BBS and Hotline server will still be chugging along inside 32-bit SheepShaver on my Intel iMac. The word is that within a year or two, Apple may completely kill 32-bit apps from running on OS X machines. Hotline also only runs on 68k and PPC Macs. You are probably familiar with Hotline, even in the Windows world. The software only runs on 68k and PPC Macs. I run an old school BBS using Hermes II BBS software. Even though you are primarily a Windows user, Asifanwar, I think you know enough about Macs to understand how convoluted my setup is.
