Once I have everything setup the way I want on the volume image I can use Basilisk II to copy the contents of the volume image to a drive image if needed.īecause Mini VMac is already well documented on sites like Emaculation, I’m only going to describe the basics of how to setup Mini vMac and focus on how you can use it to add or remove files from the System 6.0.8 or System 7.5.5 bootable volume images available to download on my site. I mainly use Mini vMac for working with System 6.x and earlier Systems that aren’t supported by Basilisk II. You probably know what Mini vMac is, but if not, a quick summary: Mini vMac is an open source emulator of some 68k-based Macintosh computers that runs on Windows, OS X, Linux, FreeBSD, NetBSD, Open Indiana, Microsoft Windows Mobile, and some other platforms.

This entry describes how you can edit my volume images on Windows 10 using Mini vMac (Mini vMac cannot read or modify drive images). Overall, I am very happy with the functionality of this port.One of the most popular features of my site is my ready made System 6.0.8 or System 7.5.5 bootable images for use with 68k Macintosh systems. It is REALLY hard to click on menu items, particularly the apple menu - it would be nice to be able to place the mac display in other locations on the Android screen, since I have the real estate. The inclusion of the command and other keys is appreciated. I really wish there were arrow keys on the apps keyboard, so that I could play Tetris. (this may be normal for the Android version of this app, not sure.) I had to use button savior to get the app menu (not the mac's menu) to display, so that I could load a disk. These were the issues that I encountered: Not sure if it is useful, but it is VERY cool to run a system that old on a $99 eReader. I have used a paint program and MS word, with the app's keyboard. Since redraws on the device cause the screen to flash (other apps can be unusable because of this) it is more than acceptable in its current non-flashing form. The eInk display has quite a bit of ghosting with the app, but it is still quite distinct and easy to read. Running Mini vMac on my rooted Nook SImple Touch - thanks for the port to Android. To install the application, you must enable Unknown sources (in Settings/Applications), and then you can download and install it with the browser.Īlso, here's a screenshot of it in the android emulator: It has no sound, and probably never will, since there's no appropriate API to play it. Pressing the Menu button brings up a menu to insert disk images, and the d-pad or trackpad can be used to scroll the screen. It uses the physical keyboard for keyboard input, and the touchscreen for mouse. To use it, you must create a folder named 'minivmac' on the SD card, and put the Mac Plus ROM (named vMac.ROM) and disk images in it. So if anyone has an Android device, feel free to try it and post your thoughts and suggestions. Since I don't have an android device, I have only been able to test on the emulator, and I wanted to get some feedback before making a final release. As some of you may have heard on IRC, I started to port Mini vMac to Android.
