Albert Posted July 29, 2020 Share Posted July 29, 2020 Saw this earlier today, pretty neat. And crazy that it's all running through Javascript. Yes, Apple certainly owns the rights to all their prior operating systems. I'm sure they can squash this if they want to, we'll have to see what happens. ..Al 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wierd_w Posted July 29, 2020 Share Posted July 29, 2020 Interesting, but I think I will stick with Basilisk II for when I need to mess with old classic mac software. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+OLD CS1 Posted July 30, 2020 Share Posted July 30, 2020 Curious as to not go with the latest MacOS release (9.2.2, IIRC.) Pretty damned neat! Still probably cannot beat emulating Mac on my Amiga (Never mind: I see 8.1 is the last 68000 version.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jhd Posted July 30, 2020 Share Posted July 30, 2020 What sort of performance does this provide? Java Script is interpreted, so there would be several layers of abstraction between the Mac application and the underlying hardware. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0078265317 Posted July 31, 2020 Author Share Posted July 31, 2020 So I clicked on the gtihublink. Is this something you have to compile? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steven Pendleton Posted August 1, 2020 Share Posted August 1, 2020 So... this means I can FINALLY run the Mac version of X-Wing on Windows? This makes me incredibly happy. At least it would if I still had my copy of X-Wing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wierd_w Posted August 1, 2020 Share Posted August 1, 2020 Basilisk II yo! It's a native app! It weighs in at a fraction of the disk space, supports mac CDroms (and floppies if your machine has the drive!), can do SCSI passthrough, and all kinds of bells and whistles. You should totally use it instead if you want to play a graphically demanding game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The emulator itself was fine, just the external soft needed was causing problems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wierd_w Posted August 7, 2020 Share Posted August 7, 2020 System 7.1 (I think), has a system extension called A-ROSE that crashes the emulator. Removing it from the extensions folder fixes everything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0078265317 Posted August 8, 2020 Author Share Posted August 8, 2020 Also this is interesting. Just found this. https://osxdaily.com/2013/12/20/run-classic-mac-os-on-a-mac-plus-emulator-in-any-web-browser/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
