I haven't run this application since 1989, so this is quite a trip!įor more than a decade (actually, three of 'em), I thought I'd never see this app running again, and FS-UAE's 2.8.3 emulation seems pretty stable on macOS High Sierra 10.13.4. Otherwise, Magellan 1.1 appears fully functional in the FS-UAE environment! There's one Magellan results-window which doesn't display properly (text overlaid upon other screen-text) but it doesn't crash the program and the UI is still mostly readable (most other screens display correctly).
So I just installed FS-UAE (which was literally a one-click install) on my late-2012 MacBook Pro Core i7/16GB laptop and IT WORKS! I just threw the Kickstart 3.1 ROM-image, Workbench 3.1 ADFs, and select application ADFs into their respective FS-UAE directories (i.e., 'Kickstarts,' 'Floppies,' 'Hard Disk'), all just from the macOS Finder, and voila!Īnd, my beloved old AI software, Magellan 1.1 WORKS! This expert system software ( not Opus Magellan) is kind of the whole reason I wanted an Amiga again-to run this one app-but now I can run it on a MacBook Pro laptop! Woohoo!
