Apple - II Series Emulators
Name | Description |
AppleIIGo | AppleIIGo is an Apple //e emulator written in Java. It is available as a Mac OS X widget, a webpage Java applet, and a mobile phone midlet. |
Bernie ][ The Rescue | This emulator is the best Apple IIgs emulator you will find. It has almost perfect emulation, and runs most IIgs programs without flaw. This is a shareware version; the full version costs $15, but it's worth it! |
Catakig | Catakig emulates the Apple II, Apple II+, and Apple IIe platforms, and it does it very well. There is full sound and graphics support, and it even has the odd little screen colors that we all loved on our old Apples! Requires BIOS images from these computers |
iGS-Mac | Based on XGS: An Apple IIgs emulator originally written for X11 which has now been ported to MacOS. |
IIe | This is strictly an Apple IIe emulator. It's solid all around, with very few rough edges. Sound card support is promised in future versions. Requires a IIe BIOS image. |
KEGS | An Apple IIgs emulator for Mac OS X. Port of KEGS to OS X. Supports a Virtual Modem. |
KEGS-OSX | This is based on KEGS, an Apple IIgs emulator for Linux. |
MacE | This emulator was released in a very 'prerelease' state, with no support for diskimages, and there's a lot of menu items that won't respond. The source is public domain however, so take it and do what you will. |
OpenEmulator | OpenEmulator is an accurate, portable emulator of legacy computer systems for MacOSX. Currently it emulates the Apple I and II. |
OSXII | OSXII is an Apple ][ emulator for OS X. Requires OS X 10.2.3 or newer. Universal Binary. |
Stop the Madness | This is one of the first Apple II emulators. It runs very fast and is compatible with most Apple II software. This'll even run well on your 68040's! Does not emulate the Apple IIgs. |
Sweet16 | Sweet16 is an Apple IIgs emulator for computers running Mac OS X. It's based on the BeOS version of Sweet16, which was in turn based on the outlandishly popular Bernie ][ The Rescue. |
Virtual ][ | This is one of the first Apple II emulators. It runs very fast and is compatible with most Apple II software. Does not emulate the Apple IIgs. |
][ In A Mac | This was the first emulator ever written for Macintosh; way back in the days of the Mac Classic. It actually ran at a decent speed on a Classic too. Because of some of the screen tricks it did, this only runs on older Macs. |

Apple - Macintosh Emulators
Name | Description |
Basilisk II | Basilisk II is a multi-platform 680x0 Macintosh emulator. It runs MacOS 7.x or 8.x (7.0 not recommended) and has color video support. Most features work under Win9X, but not all, since it was designed for Windows NT and Windows 2000. See the documentation. This patch updates to build 143 and fixes the gamma ramp for Escape Velocity Nova (EVN). Only the changed files are included in the binary and the source. |
EmMac | This emulator is in Italian, so I can't tell you too much about it. What I do know, is that it emulates 1, 2, and 4 MB memory configurations. It also emulates SCSI, floppy drives, and hard drives. |
Executor | Executor lets your PC run many Macintosh programs as well as read and write Mac-formatted high-density floppies, Mac SCSI drives, Mac Zip drives, Mac Jaz drives, and read Mac CDs. It costs $150 to get the registered version, or $65 for students, however it has been discontinued and the author has given out keys to register it for free. Use these: Serial number '99991004' and the Authentication Key 'n9rk57f369byp'. |
Fusion | It has been totally discontinued, so Fusion is now free! The files must be downloaded separately and put on a floppy disk to install. Read complete directions at Emulators Inc. |
Mini vMac | This is a Macintosh Plus emulator which has an impressively small footprint on the host system. It has now superseded its predecessor, vMac. It requires a Macintosh Plus BIOS ROM to run, which is not included for copyright reasons. |
PCE/macplus | PCE/macplus is a Macintosh Plus emulator. It emulates a Macintosh 128K, Macintosh 512k, Macintosh 512ke or a Macintosh Plus. |
PearPC | PearPC is the first free, open source PowerPC Architecture emulator out there, and it seems to have made great progress so far. Though not ready for stable usage, it can run Mac OS X 10.3 more or less. |
SheepShaver | SheepShaver is a PowerPC emulator written by Christian Bauer. It can be run in native mode (for PowerPC host computers) and in emulation mode. |
SoftMac XP | SoftMac 2000/XP is one of the most advanced macintosh emulators. It is freeware now, but still requires a ROM dump. |
vMac | vMac is a Macintosh emulator that currently emulates a Motorola 68000 based Apple Macintosh Plus. It is freeware, but requires a Plus ROM image. It currently has floppy, sound, and mouse support and has has minimal printer and SCSI support. vMac can run up MacOS versions up to 7.5.5. |
WORM | This is a Mac Plus emulator meant to replace vMac. It has no sound and uses the same ROM and hardfile as vMac. This was meant to kind of 'show up' the vMac team, and is worth a download. |
