Future rom compatibility

Post by Guest »

If (when) this emulator runs osx, will it run on all the currently supported roms? I.e. Old world PCI based mac roms.

Thanks.

If you translate this question to current 68k emulation, how a 512k ROM cannot run OS 8.1 and a 1024k can. Back to PPC emulation, it is unlikely that a ROM image from a computer that cannot support the OS will be able to run it. This is fairly common sense. If the time comes to run OS X, you will probobly be able to buy the OS, and take the software ROM image from the CD and run it without a hassle.
