Really? How?? Please tell me!
I always got errors:

Exactly what versions/files did you use? (of Mini vMac, Mac System ROM, MacOS System disk, etc.)
I'm redoing the steps, since there was a recent update that added the possibility to remap the key for control mode.

Today’s Mini vMac Development source snapshot adds a new build system option “-km <src> <dst>”, for changing the mapping between keys on the real Keyboard and keys on the emulated Keyboard, or the Mini vMac Control Mode.
I started by downloading the latest compiled Mac II version of Mini vMac from this page:
http://www.gryphel.com/c/minivmac/dnld_mii.html
I downloaded all of the Old World ROMS from the Macintosh Repository:
https://www.macintoshrepository.org/703 ... s-68k-ppc-
I chose one of the 256k Mac II ROMs (most will probably work). (Rename to 'MacII.ROM')
I am currently using a boot disk with System 7.5.3 installed.
To make the emulator run faster I set the speed to either 32x or 'all out'.
I downloaded the latest 'alpha' source code from this page:
http://www.gryphel.com/c/minivmac/alpha.html
Direct link to the zip file:
http://www.gryphel.com/d/minivmac/c/min ... 06.src.zip
Here are the
build options that I entered:
Code: Select all
-t wx86
-m II
-hres 960 -vres 540
-depth 3
-sss 4
-drives 32
-sony-sum 1 -sony-tag 1
-iid 1
-km F1 CM -km Control Control
-speed 5
-ta 2
-em-cpu 2
-mnb 1
-kyt 3 -kyr 1
-chr 0
-e msv -ev 15000
-eol win
-d s
-log 1
-dis 1
Ouch, looks like this version has some serious issues. I cannot get past the startup screen, after that the application hangs. And the text rendering is garbled. Also, the control mode remapping feature does not seem to work.
Reverting to the previous alpha snapshot, from 29 April 2018.
Crap, this one has the bug as well...
Actually, it seems like I can't compile ANY version that works anymore. Even my previous build that used to work fine is now broken.
Maybe something got messed up in the last update to Windows, or Visual Studio. Damn.
I should try to see if GCC works.
Maybe the procedure above will still work for others, though, if it's just my system.
Anyway, the above steps *should* get you a working set-up.
Of course, you could tweak Mini vMac's build system options for your own preferences and build environment.
(For Dev-C++, you may be able to get it to compile by passing
-e dvc in the build system)
I attached the x64 build that worked for me earlier.
It has 'control mode' remapped to Backslash.
By the way, there is still a slight issue with sound when playing Prince of Persia 2. The sound sometimes skips, especially if the emulator speed is high... This is a bit annoying, but fortunately much less so than the slow sound in Basilisk II.
Edit:
GCC seems to give a working build, but it's super slow to start up. What on earth is going on??
