Efficient web-based classic Mac emulator

[Mu0n]

This is a LONG SHOT, but seeing as the author of mini-vMac has not surfaced in years, Basilisk II and other emulators are our only hope.

Support for .MOOF format?
Currently, only MAME supports it, but that emulator has sound issues like no tomorrow and the only viable (imo) alternative is to just run it with a floppyEMU device on a real machine.

Out of curiosity, what would the additional ROM options gain you? This is fundamentally a web port of Mini vMac, Basilisk II and SheepShaver, and I've tied to choose a representative set of ROMs that allow the broadest set of operating systems to be run.

Yes, that makes sense. Using SE/30 (Dirty) ROM and SE/30 (clean) ROM would be useful for testing purposes. Seeing that this project has more potential to carry on compared to the older versions and ports of said local emulators, this web port can be used across platforms and have flexibility to update and various options in the future.

For example, on the iPad, this could be entertaining or part of testing purposes with options that allow for touch gestures rather than mouse and translate to classic Macintosh mouse or keyboard functions.

That's something I'm exploring -- with recent web APIs it should be possible to load a local disk image in read/write mode. You can subscribe to https://github.com/mihaip/infinite-mac/issues/164 if you'd like to get updates.

Great! Thank you, @mihai.

I love it. Are there any instructions or a forum? I've tried briefly to get system 7 connected for internet access but it's not obvious.

Thank you @mihai!

Infinite Mac updates to allow you to download any file from the garden right to the emulator - can even make shareable links to files on the garden that will load right up in the emulator - neat!
