While it is a ( warning) 40 megabyte download, this compilation of System 7.0.1 includes a large variety of software programs and a rather rich recreation of the MacOS experience of 1991.Įnjoy this (9-inch, black and white) window into computer history! The story of the creation of the operating system and the Macintosh itself are covered in many collections at the Archive, including this complete run of Macworld magazine and these deep-dive Macintosh books.Īs for the programs currently presented, they are in many cases applications that have survived to the present day in various forms, or are the direct ancestors.

At the time the machine was released, however, they landed new ideas in the hands of a worldwide audience and gained significant fans and followers almost immediately. If you’ve not experienced the original operating system for the Macintosh family of computers, it’s an interesting combination of well-worn conventions in the modern world, along with choices that might seem strange or off-the-mark. This is a curated presentation of applications, games, and operating systems from 1984-1989. The first set of emulated Macintosh software is located in this collection. While there are certainly predecessors to the computer desktop paradigm, the introduction of the Macintosh brought it to a mass market and in the 30 years since, it has been steadily adapted by every major computing platform and operating system.

Some of the Apple OSes you may want to use are also not freely available from them, so do be careful and ethical online.After offering in-browser emulation of console games, arcade machines, and a range of other home computers, the Internet Archive can now emulate the early models of the Apple Macintosh, the black-and-white, mouse driven computer that radically shifted the future of home computing in 1984. If you're going to do this, make sure to rationalize it somehow. NOTE: despite them not being available for sale for over a decade, it is illegal to copy and distribute old Mac ROMs, which are required to run most emulators other than vMac or PCE.js. That link points to my build of FuseHFS, which should work on 10.6 through 10.9 with OSXFUSE, but there's also the original version that requires MacFUSE and doesn't work on 10.9.

Freely available floppy images are more than sufficient for Mini vMac. Using at least System 7.1 with Basilisk II or Sheepshaver makes sense, and for all intents and purposes this requires a new large HFS-formatted (not HFS+) disk image, which is non-trivial to create these days (see FuseHFS below). Those with no experience with pre-OS X Macs will want to start with the online options or with Mini vMac. It's not totally true to the original and has some quirks, but it should be a little more lightweight than running an entire emulator in the browser. Another option is Cloudpaint, which is a re-implementation of MacPaint in JavaScript.

This version is somewhat different than the 1.x versions, and you can't save your files, but this is a very cool option if your computer/browser can handle it.

PCE.js is a browser-based Mac Plus emulator that allows you to play with several old Mac applications, including MacPaint 2.0. If even Mini vMac is too much for you, there are couple web-based options that get you most of the way there. Note that PowerPC ROMs are trickier to come by, as are OS 8 and 9, so you may want to try Mini vMac, a great Mac Plus emulator that is easy to set up and will be fine for MacPaint. Basilisk II and Sheepshaver work well enough that they are worth trying if you want a full-featured emulator to run systems up through 9.0.4. With system 6 or 7 will give you reasonable usability and plenty of authenticity, but it will definitely run on any OS through 9.Ī more practical way is to run a 68k or PowerPC emulator on a modern Mac/Windows/Linux PC. It under OS 8 or 9, you will probably need to switch your color depth to Black and White.

It will run perfectly on any classic Mac OS (system 1-9). The most fun way to run MacPaint today is by using a computer it was actually designed for, an old Mac that you can
