Basilisk II Macintosh 68K emulator ported to iPadOS

Very cool. I got MinivMac running on the Raspberry Pi — with a 7" LCD display I made pretty convincing "classic Mac" running on modern hardware.

I may have to revisit it. I was able to get THINK C installed and was trying to figure out again how to open/compile one of the old apps that I had written back in the late 80's. The thought of writing Mac "Toolbox" code again, using ResEdit is hilarious to me.

EDIT: wow, guy has some great 1-bit art too [1]. MinivMac Raspberry Pi on the workbench [2].

That MinivMac Raspberry Pi looks nice. I don't quite get from your post who made it.

EDIT: nevermind, after cyberstalking you a little bit I found some more info: https://magpi.raspberrypi.com/articles/systemsix-a-modern-ho..., https://www.engineersneedart.com/systemsix/systemsix.html

Yeah I did two similar projects — the first just setting up the emulator.

But when I wrote an e-ink calendar that looked like the old Mac OS, I made a simplified version of the "enclosure" I had done for the earlier emulator.

So they look similar but differ in function (and scale, the e-ink display is smallish so had to scale down the compact Mac accordingly).
