It was introduced on May 13, 1991, by Apple Computer It succeeded System 6, and was the main Macintosh operating system until it was succeeded by Mac OS 8 in 1997. You can read the blog on how the emulators are created and how they work.System 7, codenamed "Big Bang", and also known as Mac OS 7, is a graphical user interface-based operating system for Macintosh computers and is part of the classic Mac OS series of operating systems.
To output files, the reverse process can be used, where files in a special “Downloads” folder are monitored, and when new ones appear, the contents are sent to the browser (as a single zip file in the case of directories).īoth emulators also support data persistence, so any files you create and save remain for later use. It worked well, especially once I changed a custom lazy file implementation and fixed some encoding issues. So it seemed possible to handle files dragged into the emulator by reading them from the browser side and sending the contents to the worker where the emulator is running, and creating them in a “Downloads” folder. In this case, the host is the pseudo-POSIX filesystem created by Emscripten, which has an API. The interaction goes even further since it is possible to load external files into the emulator and to recover them by doing the reverse path.īasilisk II supports mounting a directory from the “host” on the Mac (via the ExtFS module). Mihai has already worked on important projects like Google Chrome for example. The creator Mihai Parparita based his work on the porting of James Friend emulators Basilisk II and PCE.js, and created a neat interface between emulators and the modern world. An amazing way to rediscover the ancestor of current Mac firmware.
Classic Mac games like Glider, Lemmings, and the Marathon series are included, and if you really want to get nostalgic, both emulators come with HyperCard. Both emulators include older versions of Acrobat Reader, Microsoft Word, Nisus Writer, Adobe Photoshop, KidPix, MacPaint and more. Better than a simple demonstration, it is possible to run original versions of many classic Mac software.
