The challenge is that you need a mac that has a serial port, and then you need to be able to run the classic Mac OS (System 7 and higher). This camera pre-dates USB. However, you might be able to convince SheepShaver to use a USB-to-Serial cable and go with it that way. Source: about 1 year ago
SheepShaver is a virtual machine program for running macOS, particularly the early PowerPC-era ones. It can run Rolypolys 2 just fine, although setting them up can be a bit tricky. Source: about 1 year ago
The Macintosh Repository has a lot of vintage Mac software from the '80s, '90s, and early 2000s. Getting it working is another story. I use SheepShaver, it's a hell of a thing to set up, but once you get it working, it's good for anything that didn't require a graphics card (I've been playing so much Rescue! The last couple months). Source: about 1 year ago

Due to Boxer (MacOS) no longer being in development, I've been on the lookout for a new front-end for DOSBox, especially after finding out about Win9x support in DOSBox-X. In my search I came across DBGL (https://dbgl.org/). Sadly I'm not sure how to configure it to use DOSBox-X instead of the bundled version DosBox. Would anyone here know how to do it? I haven't found any videos or tutorials for configuring DBLG... Source: almost 2 years ago
