Mac-on-Linux Mac-on-Mac
« on: May 04, 2015, 12:55:50 PM »

Did anyone tried Mac-on-Linux http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mac-on-Linux running classic apps speed versus the speed on OSX native "Classic" mode?

Mac-on-Linux is an open source virtual machine program for running Mac OS on PowerPC computers running Linux. It can also be used to run another instance of another PowerPC-based operating system (OS) (supported OSs include Mac OS, Mac OS X, and Linux).

Should it be faster on PowerPC machines than Sheepshaver too?

There is a sweet spot in Panther to run Mac-on-mac http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mac-on-Mac and test it against OSX "Classic" to run OS9 apps.

Quote
With this software, Mac OS X 10.0 through 10.3, Mac OS 9, OpenDarwin, and Linux can be run in a separate window on a Macintosh computer running Mac OS X. The software requires X11 and a PPC-based Mac to run.

There is nothing compared to running native, but maybe G5 owners (They can't boot OS9) can have a better "OS9" experience.

I don't really do Linux directly so not there. But I do regularly employ SheepShaver. I did so on the PPC, and now on the Intels. There is one non-music app that I find has no replacement in the modern OSes.

A Zillion Kajillion Rhymes

I'm really surprised the Rappers haven't created enough of an audience for a modern rhyming app. Song writers put oh maybe a dozen or so rhymes in a song, but rappers need sometime 100 in a single song. That's some difficult text to create.

The earlier version of the app was probably the best. :P

It's funny these days when I'm working on a song I have Sheep running for the Rhyme action, VMware/MSW for the Miku action, and OS X for everything else.  -afro-
