Macintosh Software

Hi.  This part of my website will be growing as I find and test more software compatible with BasiliskII and/or Fusion-PC.  I try to keep only the best Mac software available on my site. 

Revised: August 31, 2004

The following section describe the types of software available:

Mac Emulation Files

These are the Macintosh Emulators currently available along with software that make using the emulators a little easier. I've added Windows customization tools to make your Windows environment seem more Macintosh-like. Cross-Platform tools were also added to this category. If you're using a Macintosh emulator, you probably have mastered the "DOS side of the force". Ever since pre-System 7.5, Apple has worked on making the Mac OS compatible with PC files (i.e. PC Exchange, etc.). Many companies have taken note of the growing resurgence of Mac use and have provided tools that allow translations between the two OSes. Most of the programs I've listed in this page are Windows applications that make using the two OSes together a wonderful experience. 8^) 

System Software

System software is what makes your Macintosh work when you switch it on and start to use it. Required to use any of the Mac emulators (except Executor), Apple provides the Mac OS for downloading. 

Also in this section are a few of the many Mac INITS (Control Panels and Extensions) available to customize your Mac OS. INITS enhance the GUI or add new "magical" abilities to your Mac OS. Being able to change the way your Mac looks and works is part of the reason why using a Mac (or Mac emulator) is so cool.

Applications

Application software is broadly described as productivity software. This includes Office Suites, Database, Spreadsheet, Web Design software and anything that will make your life a little bit easier. Most of this software is shareware or freeware. This includes Disk Utilities, Sound Players/Editors, Graphics Viewers/Editors, Web Browser, E-Mail, FTP, Telnet, Science/Math software, Programming, Text Editors, and everything in between.

Games

Macintoshes are fun to use, so of course they rule when it comes to games. Sure the major corporations are pumping out many popular games that eventually get ported to the Mac. But most Mac games are one of a kind and have not been ported to other OSes. Games like Aperion and Maelstrom totally blow away what you have to buy for those other OSes.
