![]() ![]() It does emulate Windows 95 and allows you to use it, but it really isn't usable. Other than the default Windows 95 apps, you can't do anything. You can "mount" disk images, but you can't transfer files between the host and virtual machine. #Mini vmac steam blog drivers#There is no support for sound drivers or anything - and it crashes if you attempt to go out to DOS. #Mini vmac steam blog install#The better solution would probably be install Windows 95 in your own VM or (possibly?) through DOSBox.īasilisk II is the best way to experience System 7. It can be a little challenging to set up at first (especially in macOS Catalina - but don't worry, it does work once you get it figured out) but works quite well once set up. You can learn my thoughts about it (along with test screenshots) on my blog here. If you want to try BII, this website (Emaculation) is a lifesaver. #Mini vmac steam blog how to#It not only has the links to the downloads for the BII and other emulator apps, but also directions on how to set them up in Windows, macOS or Linux. I've linked to the directions for 7.5.3 with BII. If you decide to set up BII, make sure to follow the installer part step closely, because at first that gave me a giant headache when I couldn't figure out why it wouldn't let me run the installation. Turns out the issue was with me, not the computer. The main difference with configuring BII in Catalina is there is a patched (beta IIRC) 64-bit installer GUI that can be a little. It used to be a lot simpler before Catalina came along and slashed support for legacy 32-bit apps.Īlso, if you want to get more into classic Mac emulators, here's a quick guide: to use for creating the HFS volume for the VM. ![]() This emulates a Macintosh Plus with 4MB RAM, which is very close to the SE and Classic. I use this to "evaluate" software that I hope to run on my actual Classic when I get it fixed and a FloppyEmu for it. Apparently you can somehow run Mini vMac in a way to emulate a Macintosh II with color and System 7, but I don't know how this is done - and I think you have to donate to the project to do it. Transferring files between host and VM in Mini vMac is difficult. (Learn more of my thoughts on Mini vMac on my blog.)īasilisk II: Good for testing System 7.5.3 most of the time. 1991.) Macintosh.js uses BII as a "base." Color, easy to get files between host and VM, and can run a wide variety of software with ease. (Though I think it's more tailored toward OS 9, or at least that's what I use with it.) I haven't tried to install SheepShaver in Catalina, but do have it on my ThinkPad with Windows 10. It works quite good, but can be a little tedious to setup like BII. I think writing this is inspiring me to write a full-fledged blog post on SheepShaver and try to get it to run in Catalina, but I don't really have any software to run on it and I prefer playing around in System 6/7 because that is the true classic Macintosh era. I know there are other emulators that I have yet to play around with, such as PearPC and QEMU - which allow you to emulate newer PPC Macs running OS X. ![]()
