New video! Back in the '80s, Apple released an operating system that doesn't get talked about much these days. It was very similar to the classic Mac OS - except for the fact that it didn't run on Macs. And today, we're gonna check it out and see what it can do!

@michaelmjd.bsky.social A few screenshots showing iOS running inside AQEMU on the windows store! Is this the first piece of software that can emulate iOS inside Windows with a GUI? With the update hopefully releasing in a couple of weeks. Want a key Michael?

Hey @lgr-yt.bsky.social I know you love vintage OSes & woodgrain. I'm the dev behind AQEMU VM Manager—a native C++ GUI for QEMU 11. It has 193 guest profiles from Win98 and NeXTSTEP to OS/2 and Mac OS X PPC, with seamless embedded SPICE. I'd love to send you a promo code to try it for the store! 🪵💾

Apple MacOS Sonoma close to booting on AQEMU I have forked as abandonware. It now runs Windows 11 ARM and soon Apple MacOS if you bring your own media and OSK. Follow for more!

@michaelmjd.bsky.social You couldn't get Windows 11 running on the Pi5 16GB so I did all the hard work and got it running with drivers!

If anyone is good with N64 ports I have partially implemented Wave Race 64 Recompiled but it just loads to 2 boxes of noise currently? If anyone is better than I am and can fix it it's really close to working I think! github.com/chronic8000/... #WaveRace64 #RT64 #WaveRace #Nintendo64 #N64 #YouTuber

Any developers here wanna help with a new AI IDE. Something like no other. A whole swarm of AI agents all working in roles like a software development house, comparing each others work and getting it checked by the boss. Recording what they doing on a virtual blackboard, what they done in a db. #AI

I am building Neon Sovereign, a native C++ AI IDE designed to be the 'Neural OS' for engineering. I'm moving the LLM Sentinel and Architect roles directly onto the Snapdragon NPU to prove that ARM-native engineering is faster than x86. I'm looking for a hardware partner to feature in my video series
