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.

I have updated my Sherwood Forest crack with additional patches to allow restore game to work properly. The original disk was specially initialized with disk volume number 000 (normally impossible) and used that as part of its copy protection and its custom RWTS. But it also used disk volume numbers in the save/restore game routine, to distinguish between program and save disks.

Thanks to KKR75 for the bug report and for playtesting my patch.
