This article will describe my various experiments with PCE/macplus and share some interesting findings. Serial emulation, which is what I need, is also supported as well. Mini vMac does not suit my requirements due to lack of serial port emulation. Basilisk II, despite being a very capable emulator with support for Ethernet, does not officially support 24-bit addressing and hence will not be able to run Mac systems older than 7.5.5, at least not without the MODE32 extension.įortunately things changed when I came across PCE/macplus, a highly customizable emulator that can emulate many 68k compact Macintosh models from the Macintosh 128K/512K up to the Macintosh SE. I have long been trying to find a fully-fledged 68k Macintosh emulator that can run System 7 and older, with support for sound and serial port communications.
UPDATE: Retro68 together with CodeLite and pce/macplus emulator can form a very good 68k development environment.
