Thanks! I was aware of the 32X version, was just curious to see the Macintosh one. This game seems to be a pain to get running as I couldn't even find youtube videos about it...

Someone at Emaculation just pointed out that Mace, a relatively new contender, was just updated to work with Warcraft. Or work better, anyway.

Actually, Mini vMac's Mac II emulation is excellent. It's officially beta, but it works really well. I've tried at least Prince of Persia 1 on it, and it ran great.

yep, MAC Mini user here. the new 64 bit O/S is a pain in the back, though. I occasionally over time remember how to install DBGL. but I forgot it again. Part o the reason is each New Update to the Mac O/S, changes everything. what once a month for another update.

a mac is just a big pain in the back!

That's sad to hear, really. 😢

You know, the big three are Win,Mac, Linux.
Niche OSes like RISCOS, AROS, BSD, Minix 3 and Oberon are cool, but you can't even use them for an 4th grader's homework. 😑

I firstly downloaded mac emulators in 2007 but it was difficult to me to make them work. I did manage to run basilisk but I didn't like the result. I didn't know anything about mac gaming since then and now I am Mac fanatic with 6 retro Macs. Lot of Mac games are technically better than other formats. For instance Blackthorne has greater graphics and music directly from CD. Prince of Persia 1 and 2 have also better graphics with hires resolution. Flashback, Doom, Heretic, Monkey Island, Dark Forces etc. have better graphics and sound. On the other hand there are lot of dos games that support the amazing roland and general midi sound. I feel that it's difficult to have a good result with Mac emulation. The feeling of using a real computer is great.

What didn't you like about it?

There's a thread for those:
games that are better on a Macintosh

For instance Blackthorne has greater graphics and music directly from CD. Prince of Persia 1 and 2 have also better graphics with hires resolution. Flashback, Doom, Heretic, Monkey Island, Dark Forces etc. have better graphics and sound.

Fortunately some of those can be played on other platforms without a full Macintosh emulator.

You are aware future Apple computers will be ARM based, right?

incredibly the best 68k emulator is for the Commodore Amiga and not for PC
is called Fusion, last version is 3.2,
also there is a DOS version of this emulator but very buggy and lack lot of functions
almost all 68k MAC games works perfect there

for windows : you have to run the Amiga emulator WINUAE ,set yourself a hardisk installation and then under winuae and a Workbench 3.x installation you can run FUSION 3.2
too complicated if you don't know anything about Amiga /emulation

in windows the best emulator is Basilisk II but some games don't works fine there like Prince of persia 2 have which have severe music/sound issues

Are you suggesting that Prince of Persia 2 runs better under Fusion in UAE than it does in either Fusion in DOSBox, or in Basilisk II in Windows?
