What's new in Mini vMac 3.5.8:
- Today’s Mini vMac 3.5.8 updates the stable version to fix a problem on PowerPC OS X, and also fixes an issue affecting the Variation Service. Mini vMac 3.5.8 on platforms other than PowerPC OS X (‘mach’), and x86-32 OS X (‘imch’), should be identical to Mini vMac 3.5.7, except for the version string and modification date.
- It was reported that “Mini vMac 3.5.7 wont run on PPC G3 systems”. It turns out that the GCC flag “-mmacosx-version-min” should be specified for all files compiled, not just the platform dependent code. It affects things like the required CPU. Making this change happens to have no effect on Mini vMac for x86-64 OS X, there is some effect for x86-32 OS X, and the largest effect is for PowerPC.
Mini vMac is an open source, free and cross-platform graphical software implemented in C and designed from the offset to act as an emulator for the Macintosh Plus computer system that was created by Apple, running on Linux, BSD, Microsoft Windows and Mac OS X operating systems.
Being one of the earliest Macintosh machines designed by Apple, Macintosh Plus runs only old Mac software, which, of course, does not work on recent Macintosh computers. Therefore, the Mini vMac software helps to preserve history. It has been designed to be as easy-to-use, portable and simple as possible.
Getting started with Mini vMac
To use the Mini vMac application on your GNU/Linux system, make sure that you download the binary package that corresponds to your computer’s hardware architecture, save the archive somewhere on your computer, unpack it and double-click the executable.
Mini Vmac Android Tablet
The application will open, notifying you that a ROM image of the Macintosh Plus system canont be located. This means that you will also have to obtain a vMac.ROM file (more details can be found on the project’s homepage) and place it in the same folder as the Mini vMac executable.
After you have obtained the Macintosh Plus ROM image, you must close the program and reopen it. If the ROM file is valid, the system will automatically boot and allow you to use it like you would use any other virtualized operating system.
Runs on all mainstream operating systems
This software is actually a spin off of the vMac application, which has not been updated in many years. For your convenience, it is distributed as pre-built binary packages for the aforementioned operating systems, supporting both 64-bit (x86_64) and 32-bit (x86) instruction set architectures.
The application’s source code is also available for download, for those of you who want to optimize the software for a specific hardware platform or operating system.

Apple - Macintosh Emulators
| Name | Description |
| Basilisk II | Basilisk II is a multi-platform 680x0 Macintosh emulator. It runs MacOS 7.x or 8.x (7.0 not recommended) and has color video support. Most features work under Win9X, but not all, since it was designed for Windows NT and Windows 2000. See the documentation. This patch updates to build 143 and fixes the gamma ramp for Escape Velocity Nova (EVN). Only the changed files are included in the binary and the source. |
| EmMac | This emulator is in Italian, so I can't tell you too much about it. What I do know, is that it emulates 1, 2, and 4 MB memory configurations. It also emulates SCSI, floppy drives, and hard drives. |
| Executor | Executor lets your PC run many Macintosh programs as well as read and write Mac-formatted high-density floppies, Mac SCSI drives, Mac Zip drives, Mac Jaz drives, and read Mac CDs. It costs $150 to get the registered version, or $65 for students, however it has been discontinued and the author has given out keys to register it for free. Use these: Serial number '99991004' and the Authentication Key 'n9rk57f369byp'. |
| Fusion | It has been totally discontinued, so Fusion is now free! The files must be downloaded separately and put on a floppy disk to install. Read complete directions at Emulators Inc. |
| macintosh.js | This is Mac OS 8, running in an Electron app emulating to be a 1991 Macintosh Quadra. Provided for educational purposes only. |
| Mini vMac | This is a Macintosh Plus emulator which has an impressively small footprint on the host system. It has now superseded its predecessor, vMac. It requires a Macintosh Plus BIOS ROM to run, which is not included for copyright reasons. |
| PCE/macplus | PCE/macplus is a Macintosh Plus emulator. It emulates a Macintosh 128K, Macintosh 512k, Macintosh 512ke or a Macintosh Plus. |
| PearPC | PearPC is the first free, open source PowerPC Architecture emulator out there, and it seems to have made great progress so far. Though not ready for stable usage, it can run Mac OS X 10.3 more or less. |
| SheepShaver | SheepShaver is a PowerPC emulator written by Christian Bauer. It can be run in native mode (for PowerPC host computers) and in emulation mode. |
| SoftMac XP | SoftMac 2000/XP is one of the most advanced macintosh emulators. It is freeware now, but still requires a ROM dump. |
| vMac | vMac is a Macintosh emulator that currently emulates a Motorola 68000 based Apple Macintosh Plus. It is freeware, but requires a Plus ROM image. It currently has floppy, sound, and mouse support and has has minimal printer and SCSI support. vMac can run up MacOS versions up to 7.5.5. |
| WORM | This is a Mac Plus emulator meant to replace vMac. It has no sound and uses the same ROM and hardfile as vMac. This was meant to kind of 'show up' the vMac team, and is worth a download. |
