-Sorry, I've been away from the news page for a little while, but I just want to point everyone to our [[http://emaculation.com/forum/viewforum.php?f=34|QEMU forum]] where you will find months of major developments.  A summary of the basic state of the project:+From the [[http://www.gryphel.com/index.html#news|Mini vMac News]] page:
  
-"There is no sound support to speak of. But networking works. The emulation is kind of slow, there is no JIT (or TCG as it is now called in Qemu). On the up-side: it is stable and can run up to Leopard, and classic runs inside OSX. For now 9.2.2 and both 10.3 and 10.4 run nicely."+"In the latest Mini vMac Development source snapshot I've experimented with the “global register variable” feature of GCC 4.7.4, in the x86-64 version of Mini vMac, to make better use of the 8 extra registers (as compared to x86-32). The compiler doesn't seem to generate very good code for this feature, but the result is still faster then when not using it. The x86-64 version of Mini vMac 3.5 is now 10 to 20 percent faster than the assembly language of Mini vMac 3.4.1 for x86-32 (there was no x86-64 assembly language)."
