Correct me if i'm wrong but isn't the attraction of using a macOS/hardware the speed? I've been using game console emulators since 97 an know that Emulators rarely run things perfectly. I can imagine an emulator for a complex software application like an Operating System wouldn't run nearly as efficently as the original. Sure this emulator might be great for running most MacOS applications alright but I would doubt that it would work well with teh demanding nature of Music Production.

I hope i'm wrong because i've been wanting to use a mac for years... i've never been on a mac

 

[Chrono]

interesting, let us know if it does run perfectly. i might have a new hardware project ahead of me

 

[Sanova]

I'm bout to load it up on my laptop. i'll let you know how that goes.

I believe the emulater is only as good as the rom (gaming wise) so as long as the OSX is perfect, it should run perfect, i did a little research on this, it seems to be stable, but i will let you know.

I have extensive experience in the videogame console emulation scene because i used to make hiphop music for the scene (that's how I got my website). Console Emulators emulate hardware and there are basically 1 or 2 emulators that run each console perfectly. There are thousands of others that were not completed because the decyphering is so difficult. An Operating System is much different because it's not emulating the hardware (i dont think) so it might be better. Either way though the rom doesn't determine the quality 95% of the time in the console emulation scene.

I guess that makes sense. i only fuck wit Zsnes.

My cousin has a g4 iBook and he got a program for it called "virtual PC".It lets run windows XP on macintosh.


According to him,that shit saps up alot of ram and does'nt seem to work properly .So if a pc emulator fucked up a macintosh I doubt it'll work any better on a windows computer.

But who knows.

 

[Sanova]

the difference is here. MACs generally have less room to move around in than PCs.

MAC probably has more stability, but i think PCs offer more power and speed. so you have more room to run mac on ur pc.

Night's was for Sega Saturn. I have a few Saturn games but havn't found a decent emulator for it. Saturn games are huge (700mb). I have a dreamcast with tons of games so I use DC in Saturns place. Anything else? Advance Wars is the shit for Gameboy Advance

 

[Sanova]

yea advance wars man is ill

 

[wrightboy]

good look

 

[Anubis-Ra]

Chrono would you have happened to gotten your name from ChronoTrigger?? That was my favorite RPG for SNES.

 

[Sanova]
