Rieseberg says it should run most Mac OS 8-compatible apps, and even comes with some supplied ones.
The underlying emulator is Basilisk II, a 68k Macintosh emulator by Christian Bauer et al, modified and compiled with Emscripten by James Friend.
The virtual machine is emulating a 1991 Macintosh Quadra 900 with a Motorola CPU, which Apple used before switching to IBM’s PowerPC architecture in the late 1990s.īear in mind that this is written entirely in JavaScript, so please adjust your expectations. You can also run it on a Windows or Linux machine. The whole thing runs on your Mac as a single, standalone Javascript app… Thanks to Slack developer Felix Rieseberg, you can now run Mac OS 8 on a 1991 Macintosh Quadra 900 without any messing about with separate emulators and OS installs. I love that some people have too much time on their hands.
