Since my DOSBox post, where I demonstrated classic MS-DOS software, I’ve wanted to find and use a classic Mac emulator to experience the classic Mac experience – to run classic Macintosh software, experience the user interface and see what has and hasn’t changed. Want to run yesterday’s Macintosh software on your modern Mac or PC? It used to be a commercial product, but it is now a free download. SoftMac is a windows-only emulator of 68xxx based Macintoshes. Good for earlier Mac games that were in color. Basilisk II is a Windows/Linux/OSX emulator that works as a virtual 68k Mac, and it runs runs Mac OS from 7.x to 8.1. If you read some articles from emulator experts on the internet about how to run Mac OS X on Windows, many of them assume that it is not possible to make a MAC emulator that can run MAC on Windows. Yosemite 10.10 is the eight edition of OS X, fromApple Inc., and server for Macintosh computer. It still emulates a 68K-based Mac, but emulates a modular model that was capable of displaying color, offered more power and could run later versions of the Macintosh hardware. Basilisk II, the software I’m going to be demonstrating, fits snugly in the middle. SheepShaver is the best option if you want to run Mac OS 8 or Mac OS 9.
