If anyone is interested, a new build of the open source Macintosh 680x0 emulator called Basilisk II is available.

Update: See this post by t3h for updated Basilisk II port which includes full screen and a mouse fix!

Update: Also see the Basilisk II on your Nokia Internet Tablet website for a (work-in-progress) tutorial on setting up and running Basilisk II.

You can run up to Mac OS 8.1 on it and almost any software title (including games) available for the platform. It has sound (even text to speech works) and the screen dimensions can be made any size.

It's not hildonized as I just did a simple build using Scratchbox. This build is at least 2 times faster than an earlier build mentioned elsewhere on this forum.

You do need a 512K or 1MB ROM image file from a 680x0 Mac, a Mac operating system (Apple provides Mac OS 7.5.x for free*) and need to edit the .basilisk_ii_prefs file to match your paths of ROM and hard drive files. xkbd is also needed if you don't have a N810 or bluetooth keyboard.

The Mac OS is installed on a hard drive file which can be created using one of the other (Win/Lin/Mac) ports of Basilisk II. I created a web page long ago that might be of assistance: http://mes.emuunlim.com/projects/bas...lp/b2setup.htm

There are a number of sites where you can get assistance setting up Basilisk II. I recommend getting familiar with the Windows, Linux, or Mac OS ports of Basilisk II before attempting to set things up on your Internet Tablet.

Do not ask me for ROM images, Mac operating systems, or Mac software! I will ignore you.

I'm running Mac OS 7.6.1 here using a ROM file from my Quadra 610. These are the programs I currently have installed:



Microsoft Word



Excel



A "few" extensions at startup:



Mathematica 3.0 launching on Mac OS 8.1 with Addison's custom xkbd layout.
