Yup, I have a failing for 512\u00c3\u2014384 screens \u00e2\u20ac\u00a6<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Running Mini vMac<\/a> on a Raspberry Pi is hardly news. But maybe running it as a colour Mac II is. The screen size I’ve chosen is closer to a Color Classic<\/a>, for no other reason that I like it.<\/p>\n

To build a Mac II-capable version of Mini vMac, you’ll need the Alpha<\/a> source code. You’ll also need a working Mini vMac setup, as it uses a 68k Mac program to set up the source. Pretty much any basic setup and bootable disk will run this okay:<\/p>\n

Mini vMac building on an emulated Mac Classic booting from the System 7 Network Access floppy image (no, I couldn’t boot from Classic’s hidden boot ROM disk)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The build options<\/a> I chose are:<\/p>\n

-t larm -ccs -m II -hres 512 -vres 384 -depth 3 -mf 2 -magnify 1 -em-cpu 2 -mem 8M<\/pre>\n
I’ve chosen to swap the Ctrl key with the Command (\u00e2\u0152\u02dc) key, as most non-Mac keyboards work better with this.<\/p>\n
The build program will export a file out\/minivmac-3.5.0-larm.tar<\/em> that you can unpack into the full source code. It’s a really simple build, and fast, too.<\/p>\n
Now you’ll need a Mac IIx ROM image (which I’m not supposed to help you find, but it’s an easy search) and OS image disks from the Mini vMac System Software<\/a> page. Have fun!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
