DSL Ideas and Suggestions :: A Macintosh Emulator

Hello,

There are a lot of them, but nothin for MyDSL.

Basilisk II : http://www.students.uni-mainz.de/bauec002/B2Main.html
From one of the creators of SheepShaver (see below), an open source 680x0 Mac emulator for Windows 95/98/NT, BeOS, Amiga, and UNIX. Emulates either a Mac Classic (which runs Mac OS 0.x thru 7.5) or a Mac II series machine (which runs MacOS 7.x, 8.0 and 8.1), depending on the ROM being used. Supports sound output, color display, 1.44 MB floppies, CD-ROM, Ethernet, SCSI. Emulates extended ADB keyboard and 3-button mouse. Can exchange files with the PC operating system using a "Host Directory Tree" icon on the Mac desktop.

vMac : http://www.vmac.org/
A Mac Plus, Motorola 68000 emulator that requires (but doesn't provide) Mac Plus ROM chips. You use utilities to create a software "ROM image" which runs on Windows. The most recent version of Mac OS that vMac runs is System 7.5.5. vMac currently runs in black and white. Comes with a "ROM dumper" utility to create Mac ROM image file from Mac ROMs in a working Mac. vMac is available as a free download.

Mac-on-Linux : http://www.maconlinux.org/
An open source Macintosh emulator that runs on top of LinuxPPC. It runs on Macintosh hardware, so the processor is NOT emulated. It can boot Mac OS 8.6-to-9.2 within Linux without a ROM image.

There is the full list at this adress : http://www.macwindows.com/emulator.html#Maconother

I forget PearPC but it run only the OSX... OSX need a lot of power :-(

Could there be a legal problem with putting something in the repository that rips a Mac ROM, or that looks just like a Mac interface?

I forget this rom problem...
This emulator is the only who don't need rom : Mac-on-Linux (http://www.maconlinux.org/)
