I don't know whether you'll be any help but as you are the only Mac guru I know I thought I'd take a shot in the dark.
I'm looking to try and emulate a Mac OS on my PC. I don't want the newest, flashiest Mac OS. I'm actually looking to run OS 7ish. So, I'd imagine you are wondering WHY I want to do this.
Simple....I want to play Escape Velocity.
Once upon a time I had a Powerbook. I discovered EV and was hooked. Then one day I was particularly careless and accidentally spilled coke into the keyboard. Needless to say the poor little thing was never the same and eventually the battery died and the power adapter went on the fritz as well. Long story short, as I was mainly using a PC and only using the notebook to play EV, when it quit I chucked it.
Once again I am feeling the pull of the Escape Velocity insanity. I NEED to play!!!
I've downloaded a couple of the recommended emulators, and a Mac rom but I'm fucked if I can figure out how to make it all work together. I've tried reading the help files and they all assume you've got a Mac sitting next to you (although why you'd want to emulate a Mac if you've got one I'll never guess) and talk about floppy disks (do people still use those?) and all sorts of confusing shit.
Can you help me? I'd be eternally greatful to you if you could assist me in finding yet another way for me to waste my time and melt my brain with video games.
P.S. My apologies to anyone who thought this thread was gonna be about good old MJ as so many addressed to Fletch are.
P.P.S. If there is anyone else besides Fletch who can help me, I will be just as equally greatful.
