- unamas, on 10/12/2007, -3/+21umm where's the DS?
- steve693, on 10/12/2007, -1/+12Are Apple OS's the new Linux?
"Let's get it running on everything!" - devindotcom, on 10/12/2007, -1/+11OMG...if it's real, that's fantastic, time for some dark castle and oxyd and whatnot.
Of course, it could be fake, but mini vMac is a real program that I use and it works perfectly. I'm sure the DS is far more powerful than like a classic or LCII so it's totally within reason. - Philbert, on 10/12/2007, -0/+8I think part of the reason is that Apple's OSs before 7.5 or something are free.
- catoutfit, on 10/12/2007, -2/+10it's running on a DS emulator...so it's a 680x0 emulator running on a DS emulator running on an x86 machine...obviously going to be slow!
- paulwilde, on 10/12/2007, -1/+8Why does it say Sony?
- Sakumi, on 10/12/2007, -1/+8For everyone who keeps saying "there's no DS" - all homebrew developers work with the DS emulators. If you screw up to a point, you can brick your DS. They put it on the DS after they confirm it working, atleast to the point of where it's not going to break their hardware.
Sadly, I don't see a use for mac os 6 on a DS - I wish they would have put more development time into other projects (they're badass developers really) but to each their own.
Information for those who want to know how in the heck you'd load this onto a DS...
You need, a DS, Passme card (ie Passcard 3), a 'movie player' aka M3 or G6, and SD/MiniSD/CF card depending on the type of movie player gba cart. m3wiki.com has info on it as well. - lazyron, on 10/12/2007, -1/+7wow. i must say, i bit surprised at all the negativity. everyone goes nuts for doom on the ipod. this guys is working on getting a full blown OS on the DS. who cares if it's system6. or that he's using emulator. it's a small step to having that on a flashcard-cart. i would think digg would go nuts for this. old skool apple OS and the DS. i'd hit it.
- eyevariety, on 10/12/2007, -3/+8How cool! It would be great if the same kind of navigation from the DS browser could be implemented. I hope these guys get it worked out.

hmmmm its questionable all right. - MotownAvi, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4It says "Sony" because the floppy drive is a Sony drive, and the emulation module for it is named "Sony".
- Zippo, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3This is nothing functional, nor does it have to be. Like most of geeky projects we see, it's a simple matter of "let's see if I can"
- carpespasm, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3because we can. do you need more reason? why does linux run on anything with more than a dozen transistors? because we can.
- UltraNurd, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2And I thought the Linux-on-everything crowd was goofy.
- davidwho, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2it's worth keeping an eye on, in my opinion. if it gets as much support as dslinux i could see it carving a little niche in the homebrew scene. as for it being useles, i can say ssh to my desktop with dslinux is pretty winsome. so i could see things happening in the future with this, assuming it's not faked of course ;)
- deivys, on 10/12/2007, -2/+3I dont believe that video at all. Its really questionable.
- Philbert, on 10/12/2007, -4/+5Umm, I see MacOS booting on Dualis, no DS in site.
- carpespasm, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1it's running in an emulator, which would make sense as usually developing for consoles in an emulator makes things much easier to test before you copy things to the real deal.
- Albaster, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Does it exist an MS-DOS emulator for DS or PSP? Got a few MS-DOS games that would make wonderful portable experiences :)
- theratdotus, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2I dont know, Yoda.
- computermatt, on 10/12/2007, -3/+3wow
- danakin, on 10/12/2007, -6/+5I fail to see the use.
- mc1123, on 10/12/2007, -3/+1yeah, people shouldn't forget that.
- kingkilr, on 10/12/2007, -4/+1Hrm, wonder if they could somehow make a driver for the DS's wifi.
That has some cool possibilities. - cphuntington97, on 10/12/2007, -5/+2The story actually says "here is the link:" but then only provides a url which needs to be copied and pasted into your browser window.
To me, a url is only a link if it... links you. That is, a url is only a link if you can click on it to open the url. - ECas123, on 10/12/2007, -9/+3it looks really bad on the ds i can runit on my psp and windows 95 on it using bochs emulator
- Scatropolis, on 10/12/2007, -11/+5I've been following this for a little while. This would be really awesome. Next stop...windows 3.1!
