Q: OS 8x Emulator or Other Solution Needed
I would like to be able to run a few old applications that will not run on OSX and I don’t wish to set up my old PowerMac to do it. I know of no other solution but to find an emulator. If that is the case, I need a hardware emulator that will run MAC OS 8x on a host operating system of OS X or WinXP.
Does anyone know of an emulator or some other software solution that will work for me?
Details of my current hardware are as follows:
• I have a Mac Pro OS X
• I have a couple WinXP-SP2 machines, including one on Bootcamp
• I have a couple of old Macs (not in use) with an old OS 8 installer and applications.
Keep in mind that the idea here is to not set up another machine or pull my PowerMac out of the closet but to simply find a way to run a couple of old applications that ran on OS8x on my existing OSX machine or XP machine.
