This release also contains a EmuBench.dsk bootable floppy. set resolution to 800圆00 to improve usability. If it does not, either the rom file is not compatible or the file is not named correctly. Name the file vMac.rom and put it in the same folder as the application. If the rom file is in the same folder as Mini vMac itself and if it is a compatible rom file named vMac.ROM, Mini vMac should find it. Next, transfer this file to the computer you will be running Mini vMac on. Ive also verified that the image Ive created boots in Basilisk II. For the SCSI2SD configuration, Ive enabled responding to short selection pulses, set SCSI selection delay to 0, and set enable unit attention to off.

Use the CopyRoms utility to copy the ROM image from your Mac Plus to a file. The Plus does work and I can fully boot into the system using a Floppy Emu with the straight-from-vMac image. I know BasiliskII has kind of a steep learning curve to get started and it can be a pain to find a stable build but it's really a much more capable emulator. This version includes the following improvements: disabled the speed limit on emulation by default. In order to emulate a Mac Plus, you’ll need to obtain a Mac Plus ROM image.

If you want gigantic true-color visuals in a 68k Mac emulator BasiliskII is probably your best bet unless there's some specific piece of software you're trying to use that works better under vMac. (I see the 'Variations' service does allow high/true color screens, and technically since it's an emulator it might potentially be able to assign up to 6MB into a linear framebuffer, but that would seem to be pointless if you can only have up to 8MB of system RAM.)

I'm not *100%* sure of that, but if I am that would seem to preclude using resolutions much in excess of color. Extra software to be used with Mini vMac: CopyRoms - save a ROM image file Blanks - empty disk image files of various sizes AutoQuit - assists in wrapping a Macintosh Plus application AutQuit7 - assists in wrapping an application for System 7 DAOpener - assists in wrapping a Desk Accessory DoLaunch - for. I've been looking at the Mini vMac mailing archives and the variations service, and it looks to me like vMac II still only supports 24 bit addressing? (IE, Mac II 68020 with up to 8MB of RAM) With only 24 bit addressing I *think* it becomes difficult to use more than 1MB of video RAM because of limitations in how the slot manager divvies up RAM address spaces.
