Found a nice piece of software in my mastodon bookmarks. For the people which can live without a crispy sharp display ;)
It's part of #Debian #Bookworm and called cool-retro-term. There are many options for modding colors, over fonts (like Apple ][) or the jittering/burnin of the display.
The Github project you find here

There is also a precompiled dmg for usage inside MacOS classic.

@Rp12Biker Be careful with this emulator. It might be working for low level tasks, but I faced some serious issues with e.g. SSH and so on. Don't use it for serious work.

@helmutstrasser Thanks for the warning. But I don't plan to do critical things with it - I have none of them 😀 You mean in the direction ssh issues cause of old libs or other secure relevant/known problems?

@Rp12Biker Well, mainly crashes and glitches. But I really can't tell what causes them.
