Nintendo DS Booting System 6 Video

We earlier reported about one of the Nintendo DS' surprising capabilities, and that is the ability to run Macintosh System 6 Operating System. System 6 belongs to the family of Classic Mac OS which was used widely on the late 1980s. This archaic operating system supported only 24 bits of addressable memory rather than full 32 bits, allowing it to address a maximum of 8MB of RAM. It also has no built-in support for virtual memory.

So now, to prove that the Mac System 6 could run on a DS, here is a video posted by TheLazy1, whom we think is also the one who posted those pics that was shown in the earlier report. Now, if you think that this is true or just one of them hoaxes, well, that's your call.

Do we really need this. No-one would ever use it anyway. No-one use Windows 95/98 on PSP. Its like having MS-DOS as your OS on a 4GHZ computer. Your not gonna do it. Pointless.

Usability

Actually, since the DS has a touchscreen MacOS is VERY usable :) As for the PSP running windows, I don't own a PSP so I don't know or care - it's not a race you know...

Not entirely pointless...

Chances are once this emulator is able to play a few games people will be appreciating it a bit more. Even if it does not get developed that far, the code from this emulator could potentially be altered to port mac os 6 games or programs to the nintendo ds.

Response: can it

The emulator I ported ( mini vmac ) does not support networking, it may be possible to add something though.
