@paulrickards I would add AU/X, it was an odd creature, but having X11 + Classic Mac within a window would be interesting. Plus you could run X11 apps from the host inside the emulated os.

paulrickards, 3 months ago

Had a suggestion for AU/X from @thias so here we are!

A really nice pre-packaged version of QEMU, AU/X, and settings called AUXrunner is available for MacOS X, available here:

@paulrickards This is great. Thanks! But I keep closing the app with command+w instead of closing the Finder window. Haha.

Managed to get Rhapsody DR2 installed, this time using a custom #VirtualBox video driver that enables color! See here:

@paulrickards There is something very nostalgic bout those screen shots, I recall way way back when that was a "oh look at this new thing" in magazines , there was much desire and excitement about this kinda new hot computer GUI stuff .. I still get those strong nostalgia vibes seeing this and recalling how much I thought it was so cool then.. Much like the first time I saw a NeXT Cube..

@paulrickards This is wonderful. I'm wondering how much tweaking you had to do to get it up and running.

paulrickards, 3 months ago

@vruz I created it a while ago but from what I remember, it required quite a bit of tries with different settings in VirtualBox before it worked.

vruz, 3 months ago

@paulrickards Please let us know if you ever publish the required configurations. They're just xml files in VirtualBox.

@paulrickards @vruz Where does one find a copy of Rhapsody to run? 🤔

paulrickards, 3 months ago

@Sonofasailor @vruz There's several versions of it on archive.org, even a pre-installed one for VMWare.
