Re:Running macOS in a Virtual Machine on Apple Silicon Macs by ForOldHack on Sunday February 13, 2022 @12:40AM (#30319563)
Traditionally Apple has supported it when it shipped hardware: Apple ][ to 68K (1991), 68k to PPC (1994), PPC to Intel(2006), and Now Intel to Mx(2020), but a few years after, its not a feature. 6 years, is 4 generations, like 100 human years. Why are the Classic and PowerPC emulators so popular? People want them.

I had someone bring in a Franklin Ace Apple II clone. There are Apple ][ emulators too. Not just for nostalgia, but for applications that are no longer supported or being developed.

I can run DOS on a Core II duo after 40 years.

My point is Apple emulation is only profitable when selling hardware, don't even think its nifty, when its dumped like old fish.
