Do you need to run Apple Macintosh programs on a PC? Or access Macintosh disks on a Windows computer? Perhaps you'd love to run Mac OS 8 on Windows 98? We can help you!
Emulators Inc. released the world's first commercial Apple Macintosh emulator for Windows (Gemulator 98 version 5.0) back in the summer of 1997. Using Gemulator 98, Windows users finally had the ability to run System 6 and System 7 and read Macintosh disks, and do so at speeds many times faster than their original Macintosh SE and Macintosh II computers.
In late 1998 we released Gemulator Pro, the world's first color Apple Macintosh II emulator for Windows, which allows your Pentium II or Pentium III based Windows computer the ability to emulate the equivalent of a 300 MHz 68030 Macintosh running Mac OS 7.6.
Macintosh emulation technology is about to take a step ahead...
NEW FOR MACWORLD 99 - SOFTMAC
It took Apple 6 years to develop Mac OS 8. It took us less than two years to write a Mac OS 8 emulator for Windows 98 and Windows NT! At the MACWORLD 99 computer expo in New York on July 21, we will unveil two new Mac OS 8 compatible Apple Macintosh emulators for Windows - Gemulator Pro 6.1 and Gemulator SoftMac.
Our new Gemulator Pro 6.1 Mac OS 8 package is a complete Mac OS 8 solution for Windows 95, Windows 98, and Windows NT - including a genuine Mac OS 8 CD-ROM, genuine Macintosh ROMs, Macintosh disk reading software, and of course, the latest Gemulator Pro 6.1 Macintosh emulator. See a large Mac OS 8 screen shot on Windows.
The all new Gemulator SoftMac is our first all-software Macintosh emulator, bringing the power of Mac OS 8 to Windows notebook computers. For users of Fusion PC or Basilisk, this is a vastly faster emulator that uses the same ROM files and disk image files that you are already used to using. Run Mac OS 7.5, 7.6, 8.0, and 8.1 on Windows, side-by-side with your existing DOS and Windows software.
Both products will be available shortly after Macworld and can be ordered in advance on our web site using our Online Order Form.
Remember, we developed the world's first Macintosh emulator for Windows, and still offer the world's fastest Macintosh emulator for Windows, as well as the most compatible Apple Macintosh emulator, which is capable of emulating not only one specific Macintosh model, but the entire range of Macintosh models from the first 68000 based Macintosh 128 to more recent 68030 and 68040 models.

To see how Gemulator sizes up against the competition, look at the new Product Comparison.
Gemulator is optimized specifically for Windows
Gemulator is not just an end user product to use at home for nostalgia sake (as many emulators on the Internet are). Unlike some competing products, which are neither legal, nor complete solutions, our Gemulator packages offer ready-to-run out-of-the-box Macintosh emulation solutions that don't violate Apple's copyright laws.
With over 10,000 customers, we have many educational and corporate users - Fortune 500 companies, high schools, colleges, graphics designers, even software developers.
Since Gemulator was not designed to be a "portable" Macintosh emulator, we have been able to specifically design it and optimize it for Microsoft Windows. As a result, our product runs on Windows than other Macintosh emulators, two to five times faster, even against Macintosh emulators running on MS-DOS which supposidely suffer none of the "overhead" of running on Windows (which in itself is a myth that DOS users like to perpetuate).
The simple fact is, a true 32-bit Windows applications that makes use of DirectX technology and Pentium processor features, as Gemulator does, will outperform any similar MS-DOS application running 16-bit DOS with all of its CONFIG.SYS and AUTOEXEC.BAT nightmares.
There is no point to having a Macintosh emulator that "runs on all platforms" if it's going to be dog slow on every platform. We don't believe in that philosophy. We also don't believe in forcing the user into rebooting their computer into MS-DOS each time they wish to run Mac OS, and then rebooting again to go back into Windows. This is absurd, yet this is what other products require you to do.
We write emulators that real users can use. Our emulators are fast, efficient, and small. Gemulator Pro can actually be run entirely from floppy disk and use no hard disk space, that's how small it is. And the reason for that is, instead of writing Gemulator in C++ or some other horribly inefficient high level language, we chose to write Gemulator's emulation engine in Pentium assembly language for maximum speed and minimum size.
Choosing the Gemulator package for you
What confuses some visitors to our web site is the sheer number of options we offer. This is a side effect of making an emulator as powerful as Gemulator. While other Macintosh emulators are limited to emulating pretty much one specific type of Macintosh computer, Gemulator emulates the whole range of 68000-, 68020-, 68030-, 68040-, and soon PowerPC-based Macintosh computers.
Unlike Windows machines, Macintosh computers are not fully backward compatible. Far from it. Whereas software written in 1981 for MS-DOS running on a 4 MHz 8086 IBM PC still runs today on a 500 MHz Pentium III based PC, Macintosh computers are redesigned quite significantly every few years.
As such, a lot of software written for the original Macintosh Plus and Macintosh SE computers (68000 based black and white Macs) stopped working on 68020 based color Macintosh II computers. And then a few years later, Macintosh II software that wasn't "32-bit clean" failed to work on newer 68030 and 68040 based Macs. And then with the introduction of Power Macintosh computers, the compatibility nightmare got even worse.
Apple's solution is to tell you to buy a new Macintosh every few years and buy all brand new software. We don't believe in this. If your school or business has just spent 10 or 15 years running old Macs, you can't afford to go out and buy all new PowerMac G3 computers with all brand new software. For one thing, G3 based Macintosh computers tend to cost more than PCs for the same horsepower, and more importantly, PowerMac computers must run their own 68040 emulator when running your old software.
So whether you choose to run your old Mac software on Gemulator or on the PowerMac, in both cases it runs in emulation. Gemulator and a PC cost less than a PowerMac G3 with all new Mac software while offering similar speed and better compatibility, plain and simple.
When choosing a Gemulator package, keep one simple thing in mind - WHAT ARE THE REQUIREMENTS OF MY MACINTOSH SOFTWARE? Ordering our latest Mac OS 8 package is not necessary for most users. If your software was designed to run on a Macintosh Plus, or you still use a Macintosh Plus or SE, our Macintosh Plus package offers exactly what you need at less than half the price of the Mac OS 8 package.
Gemulator gives you the option of emulation almost any type of Macintosh you desire, and you choose exactly which model of Macintosh you want it to emulate.
There is no such thing as a "best Mac" or "best ROMs to get". We give you a product that emulates many different Macintosh computers, you must decide which type of Mac your software is best suited for.
Do not fall into Apple's trap of believing that "a PowerMac G3 is the best way to run Macintosh software". WRONG! We will explain why below.
Why Gemulator is better - comparing the options
Although there are many options available to people who need to run both Macintosh and Windows software on the same computer, not all of them make sense when you examine the facts.
Running Windows on the Macintosh
Many people have purchased a Power Macintosh computer with the false belief that they will be able to run their old Macintosh applications along with Windows applications. These users have been disappointed to find out that a) Windows emulation using Virtual PC or Soft Windows is quite slow on anything less than a top of the line G3 based Macintosh, b) the 68040 emulator built in to the Power Macintosh is not capable of emulating 68000 processors and thus incapable of running some older Macintosh software, and c) the 68040 emulation on the Power Macintosh is in many cases slower than running on real 68040 based Macintosh computers such as the Quadra.
Slow emulation? Poor compatibility? This is unacceptable. There are simply too many bottlenecks in the Mac OS that prevent efficient emulation of Windows and 68040 processors. Mac OS has many serious problems with virtual memory and the slow speed of virtual memory, complete lack of memory protection which means that a 68040 application running in 68040 emulation mode can actually corrupt and crash a Windows application running in Virtual PC at the same time! And let's not forget that a Power Macintosh computer these days runs at about twice the cost of a comparable Pentium II based computer.
Running Macintosh on Windows
MS-DOS based emulators such as Fusion and Executor offer 68040 emulation on a PC. So far so good until you read the fine print to find out that until recently neither product ran on Windows. Fusion still doesn't and the makers of Fusion insist on perpetuating the lie that MS-DOS based emulators have to be faster than Windows based emulators. Gemulator Pro running on Windows runs at twice the speed of Fusion running on MS-DOS. Their claim is bogus and nobody should be forced to run MS-DOS.
Executor is now available for Windows, except that the Windows port runs slower than their MS-DOS port and the product itself is not quite a real Macintosh emulator. It can browse Macintosh disks, run some older Macintosh software, but since Executor does not emulate the low-level hardware of the Macintosh, it is incapable of running any version of Mac OS, and is incompatible with most system extensions used by the Macintosh.
Neither Fusion nor Executor can read the other product's disk formats or industry standard Macintosh disk image files, whereas Gemulator can read and write to Macintosh disk image files, real Macintosh disks and SCSI devices, and even read and write to Fusion and Executor disk image files. To lock yourself in to a custom disk format is simply a bad idea.
Compared to Fusion and Executor, Gemulator is the only Macintosh emulator specifically designed and optimized to run fast on Windows, and the only Macintosh emulator that offers full-speed 68000 and 68040 Macintosh emulation while running the real Mac OS and Windows side-by-side.
Before you consider any other product, read the facts below.
Since 1993, our Gemulator product has allowed Macintosh ROM to be install on a PC to run Macintosh software on MS-DOS and Windows. Since then we've greatly enhanced Gemulator's Macintosh emulation by adding support for more Macintosh ROMs and Mac OS releases, adding SCSI support to read Macintosh disk media directly on the PC, and we've ported Gemulator to 32-bit Windows platforms to make it faster and easier to use than the original MS-DOS version.
With the latest Gemulator 98 and Gemulator Pro products, you can seamlessly run Apple Macintosh software on Windows 95, Windows 98, and Windows NT, even while running other MS-DOS and Windows programs at the same time. Gemulator 98 runs software written for 68000 based Macintosh computers, while Gemulator Pro runs both 68000 and 68040 based Macintosh software (including 68020 and 68030 software).
Gemulator Pro is the ONLY Macintosh emulator with on-the-fly CPU selection, capable of allowing Gemulator to run both older 68000 based software, 68020 software for the Macintosh II, and more recent 68040 based software. Most other emulators emulate only a specific processor and are limited to thus only supporting certain Mac OS releases and running software written for specific models of Macintosh.
Unlike MS-DOS based emulators, Gemulator does not "take over" your PC. Gemulator seamlessly runs Mac OS in its own window (or full screen session) on the Windows desktop.
Gemulator supports direct access to Macintosh disk media - Macintosh 1.44M floppy disks, Macintosh CD-ROMs, Macintosh formatted Iomega ZIP disks, and even Macintosh formatted hard disks. Just pop in a Macintosh disk and read the files. Moving your Macintosh work to the PC is as easy as:
Plug the Gemulator card with Macintosh ROMs into a free slot inside your PC, or install a Macintosh ROM image on your computer
Insert a Macintosh system boot disk or CD into your PC (or connect a bootable Macintosh hard disk via a SCSI card),
Start the Gemulator emulator and boot the Mac OS. At this point you can insert other Macintosh disks and run the programs on them.
Go from Windows to Macintosh in under 5 minutes of installation time. Once Gemulator is installed, starting the Mac OS is as easy as clicking the Gemulator icon. We've demonstrated Gemulator COMDEX, MACWORLD, and other major computer shows and shown people exactly how easy it is.
Gemulator runs at full Macintosh speeds, at roughly 50% to 70% of your PC's Pentium clock speed. In other words, a 100 MHz Pentium based PC runs Macintosh software at about the equivalent speed of a 50 MHz Macintosh SE. A 300 MHz Pentium II based PC runs Macintosh software at close to 200MHz speed. The faster your PC, the faster the Macintosh emulation, since Gemulator uses the Pentium chip itself to emulate the Motorola 68000, 68020, 68030, and 68040 processors. Since Gemulator is written almost 100% in assembly language, there is almost a one-to-one translation of Motorola instructions to Intel instructions. Thus the high ratio of clock speed being emulated. Most emulators, written in C or other high level languages, are lucky to get 10% of the clock cycle throughput.
While Gemulator does not yet support the running of Power Macintosh software, it does support most "classic" Macintosh software and versions of Mac OS up to System 7.6. Gemulator is ideal for businesses, schools, and individual users who wish to retain the functionality of older Macintosh computers which having all the speed and benefits of today's latest PCs. We are currently working on an upgrade to support color Macintosh computers right up to the Quadra models, which will allow you to run Mac OS 8. We plan to demo this upgrade in early 1999 at the next MACWORLD show on San Francisco.
Gemulator is 100% legal because it uses real Macintosh ROM BIOS chips extracted from Macintosh logic boards. This assures that you get 100% of the real look and feel of a Macintosh computer. You aren't running some third party clone of the Mac OS or a reverse engineered Mac OS emulator as with Executor which doesn't run real versions of the Mac OS system software. You are running the real Macintosh operating system on your PC, reading real Macintosh disks, and running at better than real Macintosh speeds.
The Gemulator ROM card handles most ROM BIOS chips from most 680x0 based Macintosh computers. Therefore as Gemulator is enhanced to support later model ROMs, you don't need to buy new hardware. Simply plug newer ROM chips into your existing card and obtain a suitable Gemulator upgrade (either on CD-ROM or electronically from our web site).

Comparing Gemulator Pro to the other Macintosh emulators for Windows
"Friends don't let friends do DOS"
You may have heard this saying and joked about it, yet thousands of people have falsely been led to believe that the only way to emulate an Apple Macintosh on a PC is by running an emulator on MS-DOS. Whether using the Executor product or the Fusion PC product, or DOS ports of other Macintosh emulators, thousands of people are currently suffering by using 18 year old 16-bit MS-DOS technology to run a Macintosh emulator.
Not surprisingly, when people hear that we're running Macintosh software on Windows, we get asked a lot of questions about how Gemulator compares to those other Macintosh emulators such as vMac, Fusion, Executor, and Basilisk. Very simply, Gemulator was the first Macintosh emulator for Windows, it is still the fastest, it runs the most Mac ROMs, it runs the most Mac OS releases, and it supports all the of disk image formats used by other Macintosh emulators.
Below is a feature for feature comparison of the various products based on the specifications of the currently available versions as of July 15, 1999. Please alert us to any changes or updates to these specifications.

Macintosh ROM Chip Information
If you plan to use Gemulator Pro, you will need at least one set of Apple Macintosh BIOS ROMs to plug into the Gemulator card. Emulators Inc. does offer Apple Macintosh Plus, Macintosh SE, and Macintosh II ROMs when purchased pre-installed on the Gemulator card. If you already own a set of Mac ROMs you can buy a bare Gemulator card and install your own ROMs. You will usually save money by installing your own ROMs.
The ROM card can accept almost all types of Mac ROMs in Macintoshes manufactured between about 1984 and 1992, which covers everything from the Mac 128 to the higher end Mac II models.
First, take an old Mac and pop the lid off. Now look for the ROMs on the motherboard. They will be a 1, 2, or 4 chip set in a 28-, 32-, or 40-pin package. Most Mac motherboards label the ROM chips right on the board with markings such as "ROM HIGH", "ROM LOW", "ROM HH", "ROM LL", etc.
On each ROM will be part number of the form 341-0XXX or 342-0XXX. The XXX is a 3 digit part number than uniquely identifies each ROM. For example, the picture here shows a set of Mac 512 ROMs plugged into the Gemulator ROM card. If you can read it, note the part numbers on the two chips - the first one is 342-220-A, the second chip is 342-221-A.
Installing the chips is easy. Simply install the chips in numerically ascending order and the Gemulator will detect them correctly. When installing 28-pin chips, leave empty pins to the left of the chip as pictured above.
The following is a list of ROMs and part numbers that we've cataloged so far. We will be updating this list as we test ROMs from more Mac models.
Note: ROMs marked with * require extra installation steps and are not recommended or may not run with Gemulator at this time.
