I like to do some retro programming, but SheepShaver, the best Mac emulator out there, has a bug that makes copy and paste not function, so is kind of hard to use. I was recently made aware that there is a tool named
mpw(lowercase) that emulates just enough of classic MacOS to run Apple’s MPW compiler suite’s command line tools on MacOS X. So I thought I’d give it a try and set that up.
The audience for this is probably quite small, but information and tools like this are vital in keeping old platforms approachable for developers and enthusiasts.
There are a lot of Mac Classic and games from Mac OS X that don’t run anymore that I >wish< I could play. but I guess, "oh well".
I always liked playing Maelstrom. Luckily there are ports for other OS’ such as Linux and Windows.
