This one’s for the masochists in the house — hacker Neisha Stadelhofer documents how to boot up the venerable old (well, maybe not so venerable but certainly old) Macintosh System 7 on the PSP via the Bochs emulator, running vMac in FreeDOS (”yes, an x86 emulator running a 680x0 emulator on a handheld gaming console”). She reports boot time is on the order of four hours so, you know, bring a magazine (rack) or something with you if you plan to recreate this proof-of-concept hack.

Too bad it's just that - a proof-of-concept hack. Explains the four-hour boot time.

Oh well. Good to see the effort. :)

It's basically Mac OS, like Windows or something, working on the PSP. It doesn't, however, work very well.

Pretty cool by the way...
