It is still legal to use the emulation after the real computer breaks. It is common for the power supply to fail. This leads to the question, if you need to own the real computer to use it, what is the use of the emulator? First, a real Macintosh won’t last forever. Mini vMac requires a ROM image file to run, and so can be legally used only by those who own a 680x0 based Macintosh. Work is in progress on Macintosh II emulation. Besides the Macintosh Plus, there are also emulations of the Macintosh 128K, 512K, 512Ke, SE, Classic, and SE FDHD. The meta program and data that generate the emulators (the Mini vMac build system) are rather bigger. The “Mini” in the name now means that each emulator in the collection is as small and simple as possible. But vMac hasn’t been updated in many years, so Mini vMac may now be considered its continuation. It was originally intended to be of limited interest, a simpler version to serve as a programmers introduction to vMac. ![]() Mini vMac began in 2001 as a spin off of the program vMac. The first member of this collection emulates the Macintosh Plus. The Mini vMac emulator collection allows modern computers to run software made for early Macintosh computers, the computers that Apple sold from 1984 to 1996 based upon Motorola's 680x0 microprocessors.
