MESS Updates

MESS developer Arbee recently stopped by the forum to update us on the status of the Macintosh emulation component of MESS. He wrote:

“- The Mac Portable and PowerBook 100 and the Powerbook 140/170 series now all boot. ADB isn't hooked up yet so they're not usable though.
- I finally got the dumped Egret 6805 code to run and communicate with the 68K, so systems that used one are going to be much easier to bring up. Thanks to Paul Pratt for the dumper program and the people who ran it on their hardware Macs and submitted the results.
- I fixed the interrupt routing on the IIci emulation so full ASC sound works without hanging the emulated MacOS. PlayerPro and SoundTrecker sound great now, as do games.
- VIA wait states have been implemented for all models, so they run closer to real speed”

Check out the forum thread on the topic.
