I don't think that bootcamp works for any version od MacOS that works on the iBook. So I'm wondering if there us any way to run windows, weather its emulation or running natively.
Windows, Windows 10
I'm using the Graphite iBook G3 Clamshell that was made in 2000. Also, I would prefer Windows 98 or XP.
And, I would just use the Mac OS version that runs the fastest, like maybe Mac OS 9?
But I would prefer Mac OS Cheetah (a.k.a. 10.0).
Thank you for the information.
There were two graphite-coloured iBook models.

Important would be to have as much installed RAM as possible.
Yes, an appropriate Mac OS 9 version should be OK.
Connectix Virtual PC 4 (or possibly the earlier Virtual PC 3) may be what you are looking for. Try a web search for details about system requirements and supported Windows versions. Good luck!
iBooks are PowerPC-based Mac notebooks.
You can't run Intel versions of Windows on the "bare metal" of machines with different machine code architectures (e.g., 68K, PowerPC, ARM / Apple Silicon). So something like SoftWindows or Virtual PC would have been the only way to run Windows on an iBook.
Footnote:
There was a version of Windows NT that ran on IBM workstations with Power-architecture CPUs, but I don't believe that it was ever released for PowerPC-based Macs. Applications had to be built for it - it had no Intel emulation, or Rosetta-style translation, to allow it to run off-the-shelf Windows/Intel applications.
No , that’s not possible
Something like Virtual PC ought to work. Which exact iBook G3 (https://everymac.com/systems/apple/ibook/specs/ibook.html)? Mac OS or Mac OS X version? Which (early) Windows version do you want?
Addendum
If Windows XP would be of interest as a guest OS, you may even want to have a look at Virtual PC 5.
it would not work as a virtual machine if the mac has a powerpc cpu
virtual machines are not emulators
Is it possible to run and version of windows on an iBook G3?
