(sigh I miss the good old days, where my computer class had no teacher and wasn't a class. There were only low-quality iMacs but still high enough to enjoy playing EVO every day. And especially the nice warm summer days...)

Oops, I'm rambling. I was wondering if Linux OS on a PC was able to play EVO? The emulation tutorial I currently maintain (see sig) works great...for other people. I only have 133 Mhz so it's a bit too slow. I can run EV, but I miss EVO...I'm rambling again...

Try executer if you haven't. (www.ardi.com) I think that there is a linux version... I can't remember for sure. Anyway, I suggest looking into that.

It's called Linux, not Linux OS

I highly doubt you'll be able to play EVO when emulated. I emulated Mac OS in Linux on a MACINTOSH (same processor!) and EV runs ok, EVO is awful.

I suppose you ran MOL to do that, because if you used a normal emulator there would be no difference if the computer you used was a mac or a pc. And MOL is no real emulator.

That makes absolutly no sense.

Even OS X's OS 9 "emulator" runs more slowly.

It does make sense, MOL and classic doesn't have to emulate the processor and/or other hardware you already have in your computer, a normal emulator has to emulate the entire computer. If MOL and Classic are slower than regular emulators, something is wrong.

You just said there would be "no difference".

That's completely wrong.

It is impossible for an emulator to run software at the same speed.

And no it is not, take a look at a C64 emulator for example.

just nods head and smiles

Riiiight...

EV and EVO will have a performance decrease no matter what "emulator" you are using, period.

Not an emulation question.

I've actually never used Linux before (but thar Linux OS thing was a typo). I was merely wondering if it was capable of running Macintosh programs. Didn't much expect it would, but gotta ask.

Um, oh yeah, does it?

No. Just as Mac OS X doesn't run Mac OS 9 apps. Instead, it uses a "emulator" program that runs OS 9 apps inside of it.

So with Linux, you'll need an emulator like Mac-On-Linux to run your OS 9 programs. It's like with running Windows programs inside Mac OS.
