Basilisk for Android port

Was anyone else aware of this?  I just discovered it this evening.  I searched for a Sheepshaver port and found a few people who'd said they'd failed.

I'm using a Color Classic ROM with a 68040, 128mb of RAM, at the tail end of installing OS 8 onto a 1 gb partition that I formatted on a desktop.  There are some issues with the on-screen keyboard, but it works pretty well.  This is the best I could do on a screenshot, sorry.  I set the resolution way too high (1024x768); I was screwing around with it.

I think there was some commentary about this at some point in the past. Somebody did the initial work to bring it to Android, but it hasn't really been maintained.

Given that you don't really need that much horsepower to emulate one of these things, using an Android tablet as a dedicated 68k Mac emulation box would be a pretty neat idea. (I mean, there's a lot of different things you could use, and Android happens to be one of them.)

Have you found that it's stable so far?
