SPARC Assembly/SPARC Emulators
From Wikibooks, the open-content textbooks collection
One possible solution is to use QuickTransit from Transitive, which allows SPARC binaries to execute on Solaris/x86, Linux/x86 or Linux/Itanium systems. It can be downloaded from the Transitive Web site at: http://www.transitive.com/evaluate. Unfortunately, IBM has acquired Transitive and is no longer selling Transitive, instead integrating it into their PowerVM product. Whether Transitive will be available as a stand-alone emulator in the future or not is yet to be seen.
Another alternative would be to use the free QEMU emulator, which allows a user to emulate a hardware configuration such as SPARC32, SPARC64, MIPS, PPC32, PPC64, ARM, MIPS.
The following is a link to using the free QEMU emulator with Solaris 10:

(The author of the above post is running Solaris 10 x86 in Qemu - Solaris Sparc in Qemu still appears to be broken.)
The QEMU emulator can be found at the following address: http://bellard.org/qemu/
