This will allow the company to emulate the Mac OS up to version 9.1. However, the company is working on a software PowerPC emulator for X86 processors. This limits the product to emulating Mac OS software that does not require a PowerPC processor. Emulators’ flagship product, SoftMac, emulates the Mac OS as a standard Windows application.Ĭurrently, SoftMac emulates a Motorola 68K processor on X86 processors from AMD and Intel. President Darek Mihocka boldly suggested at the MacHack conference that low prices and the considerable power of X86 processors make it more attractive than ever to run the Mac OS on X86 hardware instead of Apple hardware.
