On classic Mac OS or OS X, it’s even possible to use the native NewWindow() function, but Cocoa and cross-platform frameworks are also options. When an emulated Mac application calls the _NewWindow trap, rather than running the ROM or system implementation of _NewWindow (requiring emulation), the emulator will run its own code instead.

One v68k host program I’m developing will install its own native versions of these calls. Mac OS installs an exception handler which looks up the function address in a table and calls it. A9F4 for _ExitToShell) and are therefore known as 'A-traps'. Each of these 16-bit opcodes starts with hex digit 'A' (e.g. Mac programs call into the system software with special instructions (called 'traps') that the processor treats as unimplemented opcodes and handles by taking an exception.

While simulating hardware and patching drivers are two ways of emulating a Mac OS system, they’re not the only way to run the applications themselves. However, v68k isn’t intended to compete with either of these programs (for the time being, at least). Mini vMac tends to be more robust, but Basilisk II is more useful. By contrast, Basilisk II support focuses on the Mac II (which introduced color and Ethernet to the Mac line) and later and works by replacing Mac OS drivers with its own, which although frequently better performing also pose new risks of instability.

They differ in both features and approach: Mini vMac began with original-form-factor Macs like the Mac Plus and emulating not just the 68000 processor but much of the other hardware, allowing the system-supplied device drivers to just work. Mini vMac and Basilisk II are two examples of programs that, provided a Macintosh ROM and a disk image with Mac system software, will boot Mac OS in a window. The most obvious use of a 68K emulator is to run 68K Mac applications. This was important, because I have several policies in mind. Finally, the emulation should be implemented not as a complete executable, but as a library with no global state, supporting multiple disparate usage scenarios - mechanism, not policy. Second, it had to be platform-independent - failing on 64-bit or requiring a JIT implementation was a dealbreaker. First, I was avoiding a dependency on complex build systems - it had to be buildable outside of Unix.

And given my penchant for reinventing the proverbial wheel, it was predictable that I would write my own - it’s called v68k.Īs usual, I had my reasons.

As a compulsive programmer who looks back on pre-NeXT Mac systems with unusual fondness, I suppose it was inevitable that I would begin working on a 68K emulator.
