It’s completely ass-backwards to use exactly a building made for architects, not for people to live in. If there was a program on that floppy, don’t even think about actually running it until the right files were put in the right places and the Operating System was correctly appeased. You had to MOUNT a diskette, and then unmount it afterwards.

In earlier versions of Linux, simply accessing a floppy drive was a pain in the neck. Meanwhile, other OS like Linux took off as an academic exercise to implement an Operating System in a rational and logical manner: binaries go here, configuration files go there, the scripting language is such and so, the file system is structured like this… but then the user comes along and goes “Where’s my files? What’s all this junk? Package management what?”. Whatever the OS is doing, it must not impede that basic intention.

Subsequent versions of Windows dropped the command line, but didn’t drop the fundamental point: the user is mainly interested in managing files and launching programs. If you think about it, Windows as a platform started from DOS which was just a command line to access the file system, to manage files and launch programs.

That said, this is an excellent advance in the state of Macintosh emulation. Additionally, there’s no support for System 7 applications. This means there is no OS to speak of, but that also means we finally get flatpak for the classic Mac OS.ĪMS is still in the very early phases of development keyboards don’t work on some systems, and it doesn’t work on the latest versions of MacOS at all. It simply launches directly into an application with the frontend being a generic bitmap terminal. Unlike other emulation projects, the AMS does not attempt to emulate the hardware, except for the 68k processor. For the last twenty years, Macintosh emulators have required Apple ROMs and/or installation media because the API calls will redirect to the ROM.

The Advanced Mac Substitute (AMS) is a project from to run old (pre-OS 7) Mac software without an Apple ROM.

You can now run classic Mac apps on Linux and Android without using an Apple ROM or Apple system software. The Advanced Mac Substitute is an API-level reimplementation of the classic Mac OS. This is weird, and we’ve all been waiting for someone to come up with an Open Source reimplementation of the Macintosh Toolbox, the API that’s responsible for everything from LoadRunner to Shufflepuck. Where BeOS - a cool but entirely forgettable operating system - has an Open Source reimplementation of the programming API, there’s nothing like that for a computer that at one point had a ten percent market share.

This has caused many problems for emulation you can’t emulate an old Mac without a ROM or without a real installation of the operating system. On other systems, this would be separate from the BIOS, but in your Mac from the 80s, everything is baked into the ROM and hidden deep in the operating system. Contained in the ROM are subroutines to draw windows, pop up dialog boxes, and other various tasks purely related to the UI. Unlike DOS, early versions of Windows, and most *nixes, the classic Mac operating system is weird.
