hey, it's not every day that a new Mac 128/512/Plus/etc emulator is released! I tried it a bit and I'm impressed so far.

A brand new 68k Mac emulator quietly dropped last night!!

“Snow” can emulate the Mac 128k, 512k, Plus, SE, Classic, and II. It supports reading disks from bitstream and flux-floppy images, and offers full execution control and debugging features for the emulated CPU. Written using Rust, it doesn't do any ROM patching or system call interception, instead aiming for accurate hardware-level emulation.

Redbook audio. Inside a pair of .bin/.cue files on a uSD card, plugged into a PicoGUS, installed on my 486 DX2/66.

Ok, Wipeout runs at like 7 fps but C'MON! redbook audio music virtually mounted and playing!

This firmware for PicoGUS is coming soon!
What other MSDOS games would run great here?

If you weren't at VCF East 2025 like me, you missed Ian Scott's presentation on his behemoth project PicoGUS sound card for old PCs with ISA slots. Here it is, his path, and the wonderful open source community around it. Also, plans for future revisions https://youtu.be/gTLAhIkmUl0?si=IaC9JQjiUZIwMHYZ

Well, I did it. Bad Apple on the #F256K2 from #Foenix Retro Systems.

80x60 text mode, 20 fps, native mp3 playback with its VS1053b onboard chip. all in glorious 8-bit 6502 mode.

Never knew how to do a "Bad Apple" implementation, so I sat down, and learned by doing it!
