| Question, beside running Basilisk and Fusion /Shape Shifter nice and dandy, could we have even faster Mac68k sandbox just for certain apps or games or maybe RunInUAE kind of Basilisk integration? Continuation of part of conversation EXTERNAL LINK ericdc30 wrote: ↑ Sun 19 Feb 2017 00:09 As a software developer I was thinking of heading over to macintoshgarden.org and explore the compilers, IDEs, assemblers and see how things evolved over the years. Perhaps revisit old games I played like Shufflepuck, SimCity, etc and various other apps I used. Maybe try to get it online with a browser. Also there are some kids games such as Arthur's Computer Adventure that my daughter would probably enjoy. But that is me personally. Having an accelerator with a tons of RAM and potentially fast disk access means I can focus on a single Macintosh Plus or Macintosh SE and not have to buy a whole lineup of computers.

But to my understanding, there is a nice software library for m68k Mac EXTERNAL LINK It includes ... hmmm ... Photoshop and Netscape Communicator 4, Pagemaker 3.0, and some nice games like Duke, early Wolfstein 3D and so on. I know Basilisk runs fine, but due to hardware compatibility, it would be best if we could have some kind of MacOS m68k sandbox inside ... Vampire special Mac 68k, package like AmigaKit real but Hacintosh 68k :-) Its quite vintage, but yet updated to some Amiga Classic software, and extra layer of productivity could be lurking on Macintosh side. Backporting if possible. ----------------- Past video examples ----------------- Yup, its Photoshop4 and illustrator 6 EXTERNAL LINK 7th guest CD ROM game EXTERNAL LINK Warcraft and Gabriels Knight EXTERNAL LINK XWing EXTERNAL LINK SimCity2000, Wolfenstien3D,Marathon,Prince of Persia. EXTERNAL LINK Duke3D EXTERNAL LINK Tie Figter EXTERNAL LINK Warcraft 2, Larry and so on EXTERNAL LINK

| "Is there any 680x0 Macintosh web browser that supports Java and/or Flash animation???" --------- No Flash ------------ Nice idea. Dont know how feasable is. But, for flash, no at that time Mac was 68k and it came to MacOS X PPC. Nestcape Communicator 4 exists for Mac68k and should be HTML 3.x + JAVA. ------------------- Old Java in last OS -------------------- Requires: 040, 12MB RAM Mac OS 8.1 is last 68k OS and was the first system to have a DVD Universal Disk Format (UDF) driver and also shipped with the new Java runtime (JDK 1.13). Download 202MB zipped ISO EXTERNAL LINK On Amiga Java side, there is 0.5 68k early aplha build of Jamiga, I know NOT of another implementation EXTERNAL LINK It is supposed to be Java Runtime Environment (JRE) 1.4.1 implementation for the Amiga Platform (OS 3.9 & 4.0) ------------ Mac browsers ----------------- Last Mac68k browsers are Communicator 4.08 EXTERNAL LINK And for M$ lowers and masochists MS IE 4.01 EXTERNAL LINK Apple had to ship IE as default browser so there would be an M$ Office for their system ... Old days of browser wars
