Run Mac Software on Your NIT with Basilisk II

Re: Run Mac Software on Your NIT with Basilisk II

Now you see, this is interesting. running the classic mac environment on an IT is an interesting proposition. How much space did this take up on your card? By chance does full screen work?

Re: Run Mac Software on Your NIT with Basilisk II

All you need is enough space for the operating system and any applications you want installed. Typically this will be anywhere between 20 MB to 50MB depending on which Mac OS and which components of the OS you wish installed.

You could boot up from a 1.4 MB floppy image up to a 2000 MB hard drive file image. And ... you can mount multiple hard drive files so 64 GB (~32 2GB hard drive files) of Mac stuff on two 32 SDHC cards is possible (on a N800, if you're crazy). :p

The full screen doesn't work. I'm not a developer, just a script kiddie. Instead of using the latest CVS source of "Basilisk II JIT", I used an older source tarball of "Basilisk II" before the JIT engine was added. the Maemo platform didn't allow enabling JIT for the three Mac emulators (Basilisk II JIT, SheepShaver, PearPC) that I attempted building using the latest CVS source for each of them. Basilisk II runs faster than Basilisk II JIT with the JIT disabled, which is why earlier Maemo builds by others here were pretty slow.

I would LOVE to have a real developer take over this and add full screen and\or hildonization.

Ah, I'm so glad I saved that OS 8.1 disk from the trash all those years ago. This will be fun. Thank you.

Re: Run Mac Software on Your NIT with Basilisk II

Thanks man. If I could run this full screen I'd download it and use it instead of the built in OS stuff ( except maemomapper of course).

Re: Run Mac Software on Your NIT with Basilisk II

Seems fun, I'd like to try. I have never used a mac!
And, a-ehm, are there on the internet any dirty and immoral places where pushers pass you a copy of a mac rom without you owning the real thing? (My questions is only to know what I have *not* to visit with my browser in order to go straight to heavens after my departure). Maybe torrents?

do not go to thepiratebay

Re: Run Mac Software on Your NIT with Basilisk II

Ironically, this is yet another thing you can't do on the iPhone or iPod Touch.

That's not good, it's a 256 k image, while a 512 to 1 meg rom image is needed. I am actively searching but the internet is becoming too much a morigerate place in these days :p

EDIT: I knew that there had to be one. Google for quad650.zip :cool:

EDIT 2: GOSH! It's quick! I like it! Now I understand those mac fanboys... :eek:
