Infinite Mac runs several BeOS versions in the browser
What happened
On October 31, Hacker News' front page reported that Infinite Mac now runs several BeOS versions in the browser. Users can boot a system instantly, use preinstalled software, insert CD-ROMs from the Internet Archive, and save progress through Saved HD. To add the support, the author submitted several compatibility fixes upstream to the DingusPPC emulator, covering ADB emulation, VRAM byte order and HFS volume mounting. With those fixes, DingusPPC is now the only emulator that can run the PowerPC version of BeOS, the report says.
