FUSION PC Software only Macintosh emulation
FUSION is a software-only, full featured, 68K based Macintosh emulation. The emulation is a hardware level emulation, meaning that each piece of hardware found in a real Macintosh is virtually present in the emulation. If an application pokes at a piece of hardware to see if it exists, the application will think it is there. Support for video display hardware, floppy drives, SCSI drives, modems, printers, etc. are available using standard PC compatible devices. FUSION is result of numerous years of Macintosh emulation technology. FUSION for PC compatibles is a direct port of our already successful Amiga version. How does it work? FUSION emulates the MC68040 microcode. This includes the CPU core and FPU core. At this time, the MMU core is not implemented, but will be as a future upgrade (providing virtual memory support). Microcode Solutions writes all of their code in 100% assembly language for whatever processor type is being used, yielding the fastest emulation possible. To obtain the highest level of compatibility, real Macintosh ROM images are used. Software is provided with Fusion to dump a ROM from a real Macintosh. In accordance with copyright laws, you must own the machine you dump the ROM image from. Also, you may never use the machine you dumped the ROM from and the emulation at the same time. You can use 512K, or 1Mb ROM image files. These are available in many machines: Please note that a 1Mb ROM image is required for OS8.x support. The hardware for all of the above mentioned machines (and more) is emulated completely, giving you unsurpassed compatibility! Fusion uses real Macintosh system software. This software can be purchased from any authorised Macintosh dealer or mail order place. Fusion can use real Macintosh formatted hard drives and removable media drives. Fusion is a MS-DOS based application ONLY. This emulation turns your PC hardware into a Macintosh. Technical Information List:
