    Looking for GBMac version 1.3.1 - offering a 500$ reward (via paypal) to anyone who can archive/upload it

    Edit: Never mind. I see that the dev is "Hideki Naito" Do you have the name of the developer? I can try asking some of my friends in Japan to scour the Japanese blog world, but it would be great to give them more to go on!

    TomeViewer workaround for Mac OS ROM file (sheepshaver)

    Mini vMac gets FPU emulation!

    Here's a build from 2008 that doesn't have the black screen: http://www.open.ou.nl/hsp/downloads/BasiliskII_27_08_2008.zip It is based on the older versions that you used, and is thus a bit slower (but on a modern system, the speed doesn't really matter).
