Google: "You want to emulate "slightly less old thing" on "new thing with the same name as old thing"?

So, since the internet can't understand the direction of the relationship between things, I'll ask here:

Is there a Mac Plus emulator for Palm OS?

If not, is there any Palm OS software package that can read hypercard stacks?

@ajroach42 I'm unaware of a Classic Mac emulator for Palm OS. I know there's an Apple II emulator, but that's no help to you.

@electrotamitha If it can run II GS software, it might help.

I just need to access hypercard.

@electrotamitha unforuntately IIe doesn't support the software I need. I gotta have 16-bit.

Thanks, though. That gives me a good jumping off point.

@ajroach42 @electrotamitha Worth noting that HyperCard IIGS can't read HyperCard Mac stacks.

I don't believe there's a way to do what you want to do, partially because Palm screens just aren't big enough.

@ajroach42 @electrotamitha Or rather, there isn't a way that exists now. End-stage Palm OS devices have plenty of CPU and could scale things down somewhat cleanly, though.
