Be warned and save yourself from the aggravation I experienced first-hand while writing this. So if you are, say, writing an article about Parparita’s work in the macos9.app’s Nisus Writer and instinctively press Command-W to close the window you’re working in, you’ll close the entire browser window and lose all of your work. SheepShaver - Runs MacOS 7.5.2-9.0.4, emulates a Power PC based Macintosh. We’ve developed the online simulators for macOS Big Sur and macOS Monterey versions to experience the user interfaces of these versions using real world graphics. It emulates Mac OS 8.1 on a 1991 Macintosh Quadra 900 with a Motorola CPU this was before Apple’s move to PowerPC architecture. Running MacOS 8 requires a supported Motorola 68K or Power PC based Macintosh ( see the compatibility matrix ), or one of the following emulators: Basilisk II - Runs MacOS 7.x-8.1, emulates later color Motorola 68k based Macs. Mini vMac emulates compact Mac models (such as the Macintosh Plus, although it also supports models from the 128K to Classic.) Therefore, you’ll only get a black-and-white display and limited power. Pressing Command-W closes the browser window, not the window in the emulator, which may seem obvious to your brain but not your fingers. Silzee online macOS simulators are now available for two latest versions of macOS. There are three main classic Macintosh emulators: Mini vMac, Basilisk II and SheepShaver. Here’s one important tidbit to know if you’re planning to use macos9.app or the other emulators to do actual work. To bridge the worlds, Parparita created a “server” called The Other World that lets you drag and drop files to transfer them between the emulator and your modern Mac. As we wrote last year, the Mac OS 9 emulator has similarly faithful functionality to the original that allows you to create files and export them to your modern Mac. Parparita’s Infinite Mac series includes system6.app, system7.app, and macos8.app for System 6, System 7, and Mac OS 8, respectively. I've written an end-of-year post about getting Mac OS 9 to run in the browser ( ) and other recent developments: - Mihai Parparita January 3, 2023 Infinite Mac continues to be a lot of fun.
