Here’s a demo, from the developer, that shows off the speed and some of the features. The fact that this is so utterly usable absolutely blows my mind. Truly impressive work - from both Mihai, and all of the developers who build the tools that Mihai utilizes. Mihai then goes into detail on how he approached adding that functionality and polishing everything up. I wondered what it would take to extend the Basilisk II support to have a macintosh.js-like experience in the browser, and ideally go beyond it. They’re great for quickly launching a single program and playing around with it, but they don’t have any persistence, way of getting data in or out of it, or running multiple programs at once. With Basilisk II, one can boot Mac OS versions 7.x through 8.1. However, none of these setups replicated the true feel of using a computer in the 90s. Basilisk II is an open source emulator of 68xxx-based Macintosh computers for Windows, OS X and Linux. The Macintosh Repository is experimenting with in-browser emulation via either Basilisk II or vMac RetroWeb Vintage Computer Musem, also based on James’s PCE.js work OldWeb.Today, which extends James’s Basilisk II work to support a working networking stack (OS-9 is an RTOS of Microware/Radisys) Project Samples Project Activity See All Activity > Categories Virtual Machine, Emulators, Operating System Kernels License GNU General Public License version 2. The Internet Archive’s Mac Emulation, which is partly based on James’s PCE.js work OS9exec - execution environment for OS-9/68k user-mode programs on MacOS9 / MacOSX / Windows and Linux host OS. James Friend ’s in-browser ports of the Basilisk II and PCE.js emulators Some research into browser-based alternatives uncovered a few options: This is thanks to Mihai Parparita, who detailed how he built all of this on his blog.
