This website uses a Mac emulator from the Infinite Mac project. The emulator is based on Basilisk II, compiled for the web using Emscripten. To enable Internet access and communication between the emulated machine and the web browser, we ported the TCP/IP stack from Emulation-as-a-Service, which uses picotcp (inspired by oldweb.today).
When you click a link on this page, the emulated Mac opens the link in your web browser by sending a packet over TCP to a server running in JavaScript.
The content reader you are looking at is a custom app built using Metrowerks CodeWarrior, targeting the 68k Mac Toolbox APIs in C. The app incorporates work from joshua stein’s open source Wikipedia Reader. Custom TextEdit click handling routines allow for natural scrolling on mobile.
Mac OS 8 was released by Apple in July 1997.
