Hey, thanks for your message! During the autumn the progress has been a bit slow, but moving forward. Most of the recent changes have been figuring out bugs and fixing them both in the software emulation and the processor emulation. During the recent month I have been getting familiar with the 68881...

The Mac binaries were updated now, I hope that works for you.
Let me know if you need something specific and we'll try to arrange it.

I'll ping Toni to rebuild something with the latest code if the things are stable enough. Will notify when that is available.

Sorry, it has been long break with updates. I was working randomly on the processor related tweaks/fixes/optimizations earlier this year, but got a bit lost on that. The System team (Toni) has been focusing on the Sound Manager as it is the missing half of the proper experience of the higher end gam...

PowerPC support, yes it has been planned randomly and I guess I'll be looking at it more seriously after finishing the remaining 68k features (trace support and some trap instruction related details) and static disassembler. Based on the performance results with directly interpreted 68k instructions...

Yes, they were built with the latest code of that time. Some of the variables such as color mode, ROM version, machine type, memory size and CPU type are build time constants at the moment. Briefly checking both of these were built as 4 megabyte Mac Plus. I guess we could provide a custom build in c...

Periodic update on this Proof of Concept. During the past months there have been lot of updates on color QuickDraw and TextEdit compatibility + other fixes. Some more advanced games such as Marathon are now fully working excluding audio which needs the SoundManager. In hardware support no updates ot...

The project probably would be made open in case we stopped the development by ourselves. The code itself could not offer much for another project, as it is not directly possible to copy-paste all missing parts because the implementation and conventions are different. The compatibility issues are oft...

There have been few critical fixes to the processor and software emulation during the recent weeks. The emulator can now run more advanced games such as as Escape Velocity, Prince of Persia 2 and Marathon (even if there is something with the colors still). Additionally some strange bugs occurring in...

Update for this project. There is now initial support for color Quickdraw. Unfortunately no demo applications yet about this. There is still lot of work to do, and many of the newer color games would also require Sound Manager support. Can't wait to get play A-10 Attack. Additionally the project was...

It seems I haven never tested Mac Concentration, but apparently display time for the second card seems to be too fast.
We'll check if there is a sensible way to slow these down.

Does it feel like they were 5% - 10% faster than they really should be, or is it something worser? I have had a feeling Stunt copter may be running a bit too fast. Some of the games such as Stunt Copter and Zero Gravity have custom build switch which adds 1/60 second delay in GetNextEvent trap to ma...

There are now Windows builds available in the files. For now they are tested only on few Windows 10 machines https://mace.software/files/ The system works now also on Raspberry PI but we have to figure out some binary compatibility issues between the different Raspian versions before making them ava...

Thanks for sharing your information and experience. I'll leave more detailed commenting to Toni as he has been mostly the software programmer. I'm more dedicated to implementing the hardware support.
Printing and support for disks should be implemented all at some point.

New answer to the question about running the Finder, yes it is now possible :) Toni (the software emulation programmer) spent few late nights with this topic and got it running quite well even if there are still few things to be fixed. Here is the detailed description about the progress https://mace...

I have been also thinking about running the Finder randomly, but at this point the emulator is missing too much internal System support to be able to work properly yet. The desk accessories are working fine in experimental level, however it seems for me they have to to be included inside the system ...

Thanks for making this sticky :) I remember we had a conversation about emscripten support over year ago and that point the conclusion was that there were some difficulties with thread based interrupts. Have to ask Toni to write more about this topic as I have been mostly working on the CPU and tool...

It might be that the resource file is missing the apple double file header. It is described in this document: https://nulib.com/library/AppleSingle_AppleDouble.pdf I haven't participated yet to the file conversion, but Toni was saying he has been using plain hex editor for this purpose. Initial byte...

Tested your method and it seems both Cairo Shootout and Daleks works when replacing GunShy and %GunShy files inside the app bundle. I guess the file was not in correct format in this case. Currently each game wrapped inside bundle have some configuration values such as processor type and some sound ...

Hey, Small update to this project. During the past months we have got several new programs working on the emulator, such as HyperCard, PhotoShop, Think Pascal and various games. At one point the emulator was also infected by nVir virus which is in its own way a good compatibility test :) This week t...

Thanks, yes I know Executor on Windows, however i'm not familiar with its current state. At least in earlier it was known to have accuracy and compatibility problems. This project exists because we wanted to create something which would be the proper Mac emulator (or Not an Emulator :) ) in our opin...

Hey, I have been working with my friend on a ROM-less Classic Mac emulator. At the moment the project consists of System 6 software implementation, Motorola 68000 emulator and Disassembler, Debugger and Profiler tools. The plan is to implement System 7 + Color QuickDraw, 68040 instruction set, more ...
