I wonder if someone could use carbon to make an emulator for old apps that ran them seamlessly in OSX ?
Originally I assumed this is what the classic support would do.
- thought_alarm 12y agoClassic support was simply Mac OS 9 running in a virtual machine. Carbon is a modernization of the classic APIs. If an app was ported to Carbon then it could run in OS X natively without the VM. Older apps that weren't ported to Carbon need a VM running a classic version of Mac OS.
- yuhong 12y agoIt is not a true VM, the virtualization is at the nanokernel level.
