Other Emulators
There are a couple of new Mac Plus emulators under development, but we have not given extensive coverage to:
- pce/macplus (good for Linux, OS X and Windows hosts)
- M.A.C.E (a “runtime library and executing environment for old Mac applications,” no ROM needed)
There are a few emulators that were once popular, but are no longer under active development. These are good for running on obsolete host systems:
- SoftMac (this is good for Windows systems)
- Fusion (this is good for DOS hosts, but also runs in DOSBox on supported systems)
- Executor (this is a ROM-less emulation good for Windows and Linux hosts)
Additionally, there are a few emulators that were never popular, and are also no longer under active development:
- Worm (good for Windows hosts)
- Emmac (this one is near-impossible to use)
- GrayBox (very basic stage of development, development inactive)
Macintosh emulation is also included as a component in the (very) active MESS project:
Finally, there was a horrible rip-off of PearPC that got a lot of attention many years ago:
We also have some information about emulators of non-Macintosh Apple computers:
