MAC 1980 EMULATOR MAC OS

Old school Mac Finder running on an Amiga 500! Well, this is one of the craziest hacks which only a conventional computing fan would try, however it is amazing to see that the hack did work: вЂњ Old school Mac Finder running on an Amiga 500!вЂќД¬heck out his super cool hack tutorial on Imgur. Interestingly, the Mac boot disk I have is too old to be 32-bit compatible, so while it вЂњseesвЂќ the full 9 megs of RAM in the Amiga, it can only access 512k of it.вЂќ

This setup literally connects two Apple Macintosh ROM chips (from a Mac Plus, in this instance) to the AmigaвЂ™s floppy drive, and via some unholy alliance of A-Max controller software + Apple ROM code + the Motorola 68000 CPU in the Amiga (the same chip that powered all the early Macs), this is a вЂњhardwareвЂќ emulation system. вЂњWorth noting that this is not вЂњsoftware emulationвЂќ like how you might run Mini vMac on a modern computer. Hacker has explained his accomplishment in the following manner: The clever hacker in-factВ was able to accomplish the hack with an old retail app called Amx, вЂњthe Macintosh emulator for your Amiga.вЂќ This is a вЂFrankenstein projectвЂ™ wherein a vintage MacвЂ™s ROM chips have been connected to AmigaвЂ™s Motorola 68000 processor (which was the same CPU used in Macs way back in 1980s).

Similarly, it is difficult to witness a vintage Mac emulate a vintage PC at a full speed for the simple reason that it lacks the вЂњbandwidthвЂќ to pretend to be another system.Д®ventually we can say that this вЂњhackвЂќ of Mac OS 6.0.1 running on the Amiga from the 1980s is вЂnot real emulationвЂ™вЂ¦.then what is this? For instance, one would never use an Xbox One to emulate a Wii U at full speed. Thus it indicates that one can emulate systems which are older than the current hardware. It has been observed that when one runs a program on the original hardware it would run much faster and on the contrary due to emulation the program becomes slower.
