Actually, the file is really named“” internally, but what you see is “vMac.ROM”.)And in the X versions you use a symlink, or "symbolic link".Īn exception to the above is that in the Mac OS X version,if you create a folder called “mnvm_dat”inside the “Contents” folder within the application bundle(control click on the application and choose “Show Package Contents”),then Mini vMac will look for the “vMac.ROM” file, and the disk1.dsk, disk2.dsk, etc files,within the “mnvm_dat” folder.This allows you to make a self contained Mac OS X application thatruns an application for the Mac Plus (especially when used with the“ AutoQuit”software.) (It must be “vMac.ROM”,not “Shortcut to vMac.ROM”. The ROM image file may also be placed elsewhere, with an alias(named “vMac.ROM”) to it placed in Mini vMac’s folder."Alias" is the term used for Macintosh. Once you have told Mini vMacwhere the ROM image is, booting will resume.īefore giving up and asking you where the ROM image file is,the first location Mini vMac will look for it is in the foldercontaining the MinivMac application, with the name “vMac.ROM”. Or, in the Macintosh or Windowsversions, you can choose the “Open Disk Image.” commandfrom the “File” menu,or the ‘O’ command from the Control Mode to bringup the bring up the standard dialog. You can drag the icon of the file ontoto the Mini vMac window. If it does not find the ROM image, it will waitfor you to tell it where it is. When Mini vMac launches, it will look for a ROM image file in a numberof possible locations. If you don’t have a Macintosh Plus,you could check the“ Where to buy an old Macintosh”page. So to legally use Mini vMac, you need toown a real Macintosh Plus. Note thatthe ROM image file is copyright Apple Computer, and may notbe redistributed. A program such as“ CopyRoms”,when run on a real Macintosh Plus, will savethis information to a file, which can then be transferredto the computer on which you want to run Mini vMac. The ROM (“Read Only Memory”) contains information needed forthe Macintosh Plus to function, and the emulation of theMacintosh Plus also needs this information.
