Thanks to contributer beholdnec, Snow now supports bin/cue CD images and also audio CDs!

This allows, for example, for playing 'Battle Chess: Enhanced', which uses CD audio for music and sound effects, in all its full glory.

These new features are now available in bleeding edge.

New Snow features: you can copy the contents (text only) of the clipboard in the emulated system to your host system clipboard, and 'paste' (type out) the contents of your host clipboard in the emulated system!

Snow v1.3.0 is released!

This release focuses on networking features and brings Ethernet and LocalTalk-over-UDP to Snow! This allows you to network your Snow-emulated Macs to real Macs, other emulators and allows you to easily browse the web through userland NAT and integrated HTTPS stripping.

Other new features include writing to 1.44MB floppies, Zen mode and more shader features. Bug fixes include better performance, fixed Prince of Persia and others.

Transparent HTTPS stripping is now available in Snow bleeding edge. This makes it a bit easier to surf the modern web with an old system by letting the emulator deal with TLS without having to set up a proxy yourself.

TIL Apple has an icon font that contains icons of most Macintosh models: https://osxdaily.com/2014/01/24/apple-mac-icon-font/

I'd like to find something similar for use in Snow, CC-BY-ND or more open.

How to Get Apple’s Hidden 30th Anniversary Macintosh Icon Font

If retro Macs built out out LEGO that double as iPad stands aren’t your thing, maybe you’ll enjoy this little Easter Egg of sorts that Apple seems to have left on their 30th Mac Anniver…

Snow's Ethernet adapter can now be bridged to a tap interface on Linux. This should allow networking with real equipment over EtherTalk.

This is now available in the bleeding edge builds.

If anyone decides to give this a try, I'd love to know how you get on!

LocalTalk-over-UDP was contributed by @nulleric. It is compatible with Mini vMac and TashTalk, as well.
