'''Note:''' Requires the BIOS ROM (vMac.ROM for Macintosh Plus, MacII.ROM for Macintosh II) and disk images to run.
= What's working: =
 
It boots on hardware! Touchscreen mouse CPad mouse Basic on screen keyboard DPAD Mapped to arrow keys
Disk images must be auto loaded at runtime so make sure they're named diskX.dsk where X is 1 to how many images you want to load.
= TODO: =
 
Code cleanup Remove unused (all) SDL Audio code Optimize/speedup for o3ds
Make sure to have your OS image already to go before copying your disks to your 3DS, as you cannot swap disks to complete the install on the 3DS.
= TODO (At some point): =
 
Sound Support Macintosh II variants Support screen widths/heights greater than 512px
Place everything (3DSX, ROM, OS image and disk images) in sdmc:/3ds/vmac/, then run with the Homebrew Launcher (for Citra, put the ROM on root).
= Using =
 
Place vMac.ROM in /3ds/vmac/ along with your disk images Place ui_kb_lc.png, ui_kb_uc.png, and ui_kb_shift.png in /3ds/vmac/gfx Disks must be autoloaded at the moment so name them disk1.dsk, disk2.dsk, ect...

If you are getting a flashing disk and nothing else, make sure your first disk image (disk1.dsk) is a valid bootable Mac System disk.
= Notes =
 
This is a very early WIP port so if it crashes/hangs/murders you... I dunno... Some frames may be dropped/skipped when running on an o3ds
It's best to verify your disk images in the desktop version of Mini vMac before copying your disk images over to your 3DS.
 
If you're getting a black screen with the Macintosh II builds be patient, it just takes a bit to load (especially O3DS).
 
Supported options include:

This is a port of Paul C. Pratt's Mini vMac to the Nintendo 3DS and New Nintendo 3DS.

It is a miniature early Macintosh emulator, currently supports Macintosh Plus and Macintosh II with multiple resolution options.

Installation

Note: Requires the BIOS ROM (vMac.ROM for Macintosh Plus, MacII.ROM for Macintosh II) and disk images to run.

Disk images must be auto loaded at runtime so make sure they're named diskX.dsk where X is 1 to how many images you want to load.

Make sure to have your OS image already to go before copying your disks to your 3DS, as you cannot swap disks to complete the install on the 3DS.

Place everything (3DSX, ROM, OS image and disk images) in sdmc:/3ds/vmac/, then run with the Homebrew Launcher (for Citra, put the ROM on root).

User guide

If you are getting a flashing disk and nothing else, make sure your first disk image (disk1.dsk) is a valid bootable Mac System disk.

It's best to verify your disk images in the desktop version of Mini vMac before copying your disk images over to your 3DS.

If you're getting a black screen with the Macintosh II builds be patient, it just takes a bit to load (especially O3DS).

Supported options include:

  • 1 Bit colour depth, 2 Bit colour depth, 4 Bit colour depth and 8 Bit colour depth.
  • Resolutions >= 512x384 Resolutions <= 1024x1024.
  • Sound Sound sample size.
  • And many more, feel free to experiment.

More information about Mini vMac in general can be found at the original Mini vMac's site.
