For example, Classic works okay to run Wordperfect but may not work when you want to run a game which really wants to take control of the video functions which are still being controlled by OSX. After all, if you are running a much newer computer then why would you even want to browse the web with System 7 software?Įmulators can really be limited when it comes to dealing with specific hardware functions. Then too, the designers of Basilisk may not have thought it necessary to go that far. If there are System 7 extensions that really require actual hardware then those might well not work with software just pretending to be a piece of hardware. Also realize that you are using an emulator which just pretends to be certain hardware.
