It works amazingly well at first sight and can even run MacWorks XL 3.0 with some manual modifications required for the square pixels of the Mac XL. Installation to the emulated ProFile HD fails, though.

Does the Mail app on macOS have some kind of inbox categorization that could be hiding messages? Has anyone else run into this or found a fix?

But there’s always been a horsepower limit, a point beyond which a microcontroller is no longer enough, and a “proper” computer is needed.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                  ⁉️One of those barriers now appears to have been broken, as microcontroller-based emulation moves into the 32-bit era. [Amcchord] has the Basilisk II emulator ported to the ESP32-P4 platform, providing a 68040 Mac able to run OS8.1. This early-1990s-spec machine might not seem like much in 2026, but it represents a major step forward.⁉️

Pulling this out on the train back then would have blown people’s minds. There’s even a chance that MacOS on something like this would turn a few heads in 2026.👾

The ESP32 here has a dual-core RISC-V architecture running at 400 MHz, and the emulator uses one core for video and I/O, with the other for the 68040 interpreter, and other low-level system function patching. For storage, users of this IoT tab can make use of HDD and CD images that are saved on an SD card. In addition to the OS and apps you have, this is where you will put your Mac boot ROM files.

⁉️Overall, it is a very neat and portable all-in-one emulation solution. It would also be a great starting platform for modding, as you could make a mini Mac Classic with this and a 3D printer without jumping through too many hoops.⁉️

⁉️The hardware it uses is the M5Stack Tab5, and it provides an emulated Mac with up to 16 MB of memory.⁉️

👾Remember, in 1992 this would have been a high-spec machine. It manages a 15 frames per second refresh rate, which is adequate for productivity applications. The emulator uses the Tab5’s touchscreen to emulate the Mac mouse alongside support for USB input devices. To 1990 hackers, it’s almost the Mac tablet you didn’t know you would want in the future.👾

⁉️This ESP32-P4 / M5Stack Tab5 port of Basilisk II is particularly appealing for Mac emulation tinkerers, as it is quite a well-rounded platform. It is a tablet, and can be used as such in the emulator, with its native touch functionality replacing mouse interactivity. In computer terms, it becomes almost a touch-enabled All-in-One, with your keyboard/mouse of choice attached via USB.⁉️

👾First-decade Apple Macs were also most famously represented by All-in-One designs with tiny screens [9-inch 512x342 pixel mono displays]. In comparison, the Tab5’s 2x scaled 640x360 resolution 8-bit color output piped to the 5-inch 1280x720 IPS touchscreen could challenge your near vision.👾
