Emulator for NeXT Step?
« on: October 06, 2011, 04:52:24 PM »
Anyone know of an emulator that would run the old 68k version of NextStep?

You'd probably have to write one. I'd suggest paravirtualization would be the way to go, if you were going to run it on real 68K amiga hardware because as sure as MacOS needs the lower 4K, NeXT will probably want some absolute address range mapped that AmigaOS wants.

However, beyond any guest patches, the 68010+ meets the Popek & Goldberg requirements for hardware virtualization, so you can get away with ShapeShifter style "emulation", or virtualization as it's called in current parlance ;)


I found one. :)

Yeah, I know it! I wish I had time for this stuff anymore :(

Might just compile GNUStep for 68k.... ;)


I reckon GNUStep+Windowmaker would probably be quite nippy on 68k NetBSD. :)

Be careful, I heard that incorrectly holding an iPhone 4 can make your wrist go limp or summat. ;)

Notifications was something that I really liked on Android (though I think Android copied it from WebOS)


Doesn't Android pre-date WebOS?

Android yes, notifications no (as far as I can remember). I had a Nexus One for a few weeks to test it out and I don't remember notifications.


I've only used Android since 2.1 which had them, can't say whether 1.5/1.6 did or not though.

The pull-down notification window. Though these early phones clearly weren't without their flaws, it was almost universally acknowledged that Android nailed the notification system on day one — it would take iOS another three years before launching a design as effective at triaging messages and alerts coming from users' ever-growing collection of mobile apps. The secret was in the G1's unique status bar, which could be dragged downward to reveal every notification in a single list: text messages, voicemails, alarms, and so on. The fundamental concept lives on (in a refined form) even in version 4.0 today.
