#22That's pretty damn complete. It has Think C, CodeWarrior, etc., and they seem to work. It's awesome, but I could see the copyright police coming after it.
MetroWerks has a lot of reason to be annoyed at this source: I wrote the MPW setup scripts for MWerks on a contract, presented to MWerks VP of Engineering; subsequently Jobs+black ops locked them out
Metrowerks doesn't even exist anymore does it?

Re: Infinite Mac
#24Oooh how nice!
That digs up some memory from my childhood - an aunt had an Apple with the OS looking very similar to this one, and there was a game where you had to place railroad tiles and could then operate a train. Anyone here remember that game?

#25This took me on a trip down memory lane back to my days in elementary school. I recall our class going to the computer lab once a week and having an hour to spend on an iMac G3, of which some were on OS8 and others OS9. Going back even further to kindergarten, our logins on those Macs were forced to use a simplified UI that displayed only icons/tiles of applications -- no browsing files or anything sophisticated from what I remember (edit: looks like they were called "Panels") [0]. The Incredible Machine [1] was what I personally looked forward to playing most. I'm sure nostalgia plays a big role in the feeling I get when toying around with emulators like this, but I'm also convinced that the simplicity, curiosity, and novelty of computing in the late 90s/early 2000s is something that I may never be able to replicate again in my lifetime.

#26It runs? I guess. Neither Sim City 2000 nor Warcraft II could start. Is this just another enscripten rush port or something?

#27It's exactly how I remember the Macs my grade school was using back then. Click around a little bit, and boom, it is frozen. Do you wait? Do you force quit? The watch gives little feedback.

Hah same. If it had kid pix it would be just like when I was a little kid.
Check the Graphics folder! (It crashed immediately for me in Firefox, though)

#30It loads very fast and the performance is alright. What optimizations did they do to pull this off?
