![]() Here is a shot of the BIOS checking screen from Recalbox:Īccording to the screen, for the Macintosh emulator to work, two “BIOS” files are required: Macintosh 128K version (built with the -m 128 K option).Macintosh II version (built with the -m II option).Standard version (emulating a Macintosh Plus).Unfortunately, Paul hasn’t been seen online for over a year and the community is very worried about him. Mini vMac is the spinoff of vMac, an opensource emulator that has been discontinued. I was already familiar with Mini vMac, that I tried and quickly presented in an old post. Themselves are based on the Caprice32 and the Hatari emulators codebase.įor Classic Macintosh emulation, Recalbox relies on libretro-minivmac, which is the Libretro port of the Mini vMac emulator. Many of these cores are based on the Libretro API, like libretro-cap32 for Amstrad CPC‘s, or libretro-hatari for Atari ST‘s. Recalbox is a set of different independent emulation systems (called “cores”), united within the graphical frontend EmulationStation. Recalbox 9 added new emulation systems, such as the Philips VG5000 or the Z-Machine for Infocom‘s text adventure games., and … the Macintosh Classic family of computer ! Recalbox 9.0 was released on, and I promptly upgraded my Nes4Pi console the following week-end:Īmong its new features, one of them particularly caught my intention (yes, the 5″1/4 disquette by the side of the Macintosh is really weird): It is the platform that got me into retro-gaming, and, later on, into vintage computer hardware.Īt each release, Recalbox adds bug-fixes, performance improvements and new features. I have already mentioning it a few times in this blog, and I have built a few projects with it. Recalbox is my favorite all-in-one retro-gaming console. So, this year’s contributions for MARCHintosh will be about running Macintosh software on non-Machintosh hardware ! But … even if I didn’t buy any new hardware for classic Macintosh for over a year, I am still an insufferable Apple fanboy ! ![]() But the vintage-computing fever troubled my mind, pushing me into other arms and having fun with Atari‘s, Matra-Hachette‘s and Oric‘s delightful 8-bit machines. Last year, right on time for MARCHintosh 2022, I acquired my very first classic Macintosh, that I have been enjoying ever since. ![]()
