I recently have been getting into making a lot of small swift apps for personal use AND now have MacOS 7 and 8 running on my iPad since they’ve added mouse pointer support. Excited to dig into this article!
- Cyberdog 7y agoOkay, I'll bite: How are you running Classic Mac OS on an iPad?
- asveikau 7y agoI don't know if this is the way, but ~20 years ago I was curious about running emulators for 68k Macs on PCs.. there was vMac which emulated black&white Mac Plus, and basilisk II which emulated a macII. They could both run system 7. That was true circa 1998. I imagine the hardware needs are not that high.
- fzzzy 7y agoMini vMac can now also emulate a mac II and do color and higher resolutions. Basilisk II can do an 040 now as well.
- kingnight 7y agoThese two projects: https://github.com/zydeco/minivmac4ios https://github.com/zydeco/minivmac4ios https://github.com/zydeco/macemu/tree/ios/BasiliskII/src/iOS https://github.com/zydeco/macemu/tree/ios/BasiliskII/src/iOS The first is more stable, and recently got the pointer support added, but doesn’t go up to MacOS 8 AFAIK. I copied a bit of the stuff from that to the MacEmu one to get the pointer working ok. Thank you Zydeco!
- mattkevan 7y agoAmazing. Would love to have classic Mac on the iPad. What a cool project.
