Pocket Mac?


Pocket Mac?

Postby TFGBD » May 21, 2002 @ 10:28pm

Hello. After reading the Playstation Emulator Thread... I was thinking... Wouldn't it be cool to emulate a Macintosh on Windows CE? Would anyone be interested in porting Basilisk II to Windows CE? Its a free, open source 68k Mac emulator. You could run programs like Adobe Photoshop. Not to mention thousands of other programs. It probably would not require as much processor power as a Playstation. So, what do ya think? Are any programmers up to the challenge? I don't think it would be that hard to port it. No harder then a Playstation at least. I would try it myself if I had any programming skills. So, what do you think? Would this be viable?
Questions? Comments? Any ideas?

BTW, here is the Win32 port of Basilisk II.

Well of course I meant the 68k :) Afterall, thats what Basilisk II is. There aren't even any Win32 PPC emulators...yet. Well, anyway, from what you've said, it sounds like it wouldn't be all that hard anyway. And yeah you can get Illustrator and Photoshop for the 68k. Little slow on my Pentium 200, but Ok. There may be even higher 68k versions. I'm not sure.

I meant the Power Mac, and yes Amigas are 68k. The point is that its been ported from the amiga to almost every platform around. So it must not be that hard to do on MIPS, ARM, SHx. If not, there are a few other open source emulators.
