The author never clarified why SheepShaver and other emulators can't be made to work on ARM.
SheepShaver in particular already works on PowerPC and Intel so clearly they structured the code to support multiple platforms. Instead of trying to get Apple to open source Rosetta 2 maybe instead focus on adding ARM support.
- soneil 6y agoSheepshaver runs on the Pi, so I don't see any fundamental problem. The Author genuinely seems more annoyed that the goal posts keep moving, rather than any of this actually being impossible. There's no fundamental blocker to emulating x86 either - qemu does it, and will run up to Tiger. I'm almost positive the only reason we're not emulating amd64 is that the cost hasn't been worth it so far. And eventually, one day, we'll be emulating Apple Silicon on something too.
