The latest version I've tried is Hatari 1.7.0a. MIDI has basic output to external devices, but there's no input yet. It doesn't seem ready for music applications though. So far I haven't been able to set up a HD. XQuartz is needed to run the latest version on OSX Mavericks. The open source project Hatari is still under development. (A common problem with emulators on OSX.) Games aren't working for me in the higher resolutions. The docs refer mostly to a Linux setup.ĭuring my holidays in early June 2012 I was able to use the Pack_3D to get a working installation on the iMac. Something to do with the config file and hard drive setup was a puzzle. I had a lot of trouble getting it to work at first. Maybe it's a bit like an Atari Falcon on my iMac? to make a stable TOS system, along with some other free software packages. The latest MacAranym uses Emutos and hard disk images with FreeMINT, TERRADESK 3.86, XAAES, BOXKITE etc. Once again, NoSTalgia should not be running while doing this.ĪRanyM (Atari Running any Machine) is an Open Source project that can run Atari TOS/GEM on most modern computer hardware. Just double-click on the HD image to open it, then copy the downloaded ST file to the desired directory location.
On OSX it is easy to just open the NoSTalgia HDD-C file with Apple's DiskimageMounter.app and do the same thing. The trick is to drag all copies of the disk image to the trash before restarting NoSTalgia. Open the disk image, and swap files as normal on a Mac. To make things easier, I keep an alias for Disk Copy in the Mac's NoSTalgia folder. The File Exchange Extension must be enabled for this trick to work. This is a very slow way to move files between the ST and Mac.Īn easier way is to drag the HDD-C icon in the NoSTalgia Folder onto Mac OS 9's Disk Copy program. The DuST program for Macintosh is useful to convert ST floppies into disk images before loading.

I was pleased the public release of Passport's Master Tracks Pro 3.6 works well. NoSTalgia can access the Mac MIDI port using Quicktime, (or via OMS on OS 9.x), which is way-cool if you've got a heap of old sequencer files to work with. Unfortunately, the Mac's joysticks don't work with it, so you're stuck using the keypad for games.Ī big plus is NoSTalgia can take screenshots. This emulator is my favorite for music applications and some games. My only wish is for "real" MIDI in/out via OSX Core Audio.

The new Version 1.52 for Mac OSX was released recently, with improvements. I'm liking using monochrome settings for "serious" applications. My main problem is MIDI is only output to Quicktime Instruments.

CZ Rider and CZ Android worked well with my old Casio CZ-1 and Mac OS 9.x/OMS on my old Performa 6360.

(The newer Version 1.42 works with Quicktime Music Instruments, but OMS is greyed out.)Īnother cool thing to do is use Atari-based music patch software to edit the sounds of some synthesizers via MIDI. It was good to communicate using OMS over MIDI with my old Casio CZ-1. The older Version 0.65 worked best for me on Mac OS 9.x. The freeware ST emulator NoSTalgia is a complete emulation, but doesn't access the Mac hardware (e.g.
BEST MAC OS 9 EMULATOR UPGRADE
(Some older PPC based software is broken, but most still runs in Rosetta.) I couldn't see any good reason to upgrade to OSX to Lion or Mountain Lion on this now-old machine.īut then, in late 2013 OSX Mavericks came on the scene as a free upgrade.
Since April 2010 I have a iMac 3.06 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, 21", 4 GB RAM, running OSX Snow Leopard. (Nice, but no Classic environment.) In retrospect, I should've stuck with the original OSX Tiger on that machine. Then I got an iMac 2GHz G5, 17", 160 Gb HD, 2 GB RAM, updated with OSX Leopard.
I got a good run with it until the seven year old 6360 started giving problems at the end of 2004. Over the years the Performa was upgraded with: Sonnet G3/400 CPU, to 136 MB RAM, 13 GB HD, Voodoo3 2000 Video card, Yamaha 400t CD-R, and (finally) a 24x CD-ROM. In September '97 I finally replaced my Atari STFM with an Apple Macintosh 6360/160 PPC (the so-called "Multimedia Performa"). TOXICO'S HOME PAGE-ATARI ST EMULATION Emulating Atari ST on a Macintosh
