Great app! For those people out there who don't know how to start Mini vMac because it's on a new phone, hold on the menu button and you will be prompted to insert a disk. I had the same problem until I stumbled upon this trick.

I love the Mac version of Mini vMac and the idea of getting my antique Mac SW running on my Android tablet is very appealing! Sadly, the app can't find the ROM files or the Mac disk image. I'll keep trying in case there's a chance but I can't rate this version very high. Anyone have advice?

Anyone get this to work in Android 6.0.1 ? (Samsung Note 5) It vMac works great on PC, but same files don't on Android. Assume it's either Android 64bit or the SD slot being internal. Only get a crash when loading any disk

Bug report: Valid ROM and disk images under Lollipop give a six digit Sad Mac of all zeroes. Suggestion: Support other SD cards besides internal (Settings parameter seems like a good idea.) Besides those: Great app.

Sad Mac on boot I gave this 3 stars as I know it works beautifully on PC; however, while it does boot on Android, inserting a system disk causes it to crash to a sad Mac screen. I've tried multiple valid system disks and a valid rom which both work on PC, but to no avail. Give it a shot on PC, but I'd save the space on your Android for something else

Matt Kasdorf

Update? How about put a wee effort into updating this and the paid version. I had hoped... no... expected an update over summer 2013, yet nothing... but disappointment. Wow! 2014/12/11 update to v1.2.2! Still have to test it though.

Great, has one bug tho Love this emu. However, using a BT keyboard with it, if you connect or disconnect the keyboard while its running, it will crash and corrupt your open program so it wont run without reinstalling it on vmac. I ruined a couple of disk images by accident this way. If this bug gets fixed, I would bump up my score to y stars.

Carlos Montemayor May 19, 2016

Please update Please update this whenever you enter Valid rom files (tested on desktop version of minivmac) they always give the finder six sad zeros. Please update! app is unusable with this error will change review when fixed

Miles Raymond November 15, 2015

Wish it would work... Tried 128k, Plus, and Classic ROMs, all of them allow the app to 'work', but bomb at any bootable media. All ROMs and bootable media check out fine in the real vMac on OS X or Windows.

Nelson Novak June 10, 2017

It starts fine for me but it's very difficult to use the pointer and click on things with any accuracy. I recall a version of this app that I used during my freshman year of highschool that featured an alternate pointer mode which basically used the screen like a laptop trackpad, rather than just having the pointer go wherever your finger touches. It made it much easier to use.

Christian Angelo Lozano October 7, 2015

More faster than before. Nice one. And suggestions Can you please make a Macintosh Quadra emulator with internet/network support. And add an option to pick a certain macintosh computer to be emulated like when you want to emulate the Mac 128k you first gonna pick it in settings, and add the ability to automatically open a disk image in a certain filename ex:"disk01.dsk", this are my suggestions. Thank you again for this hardwork.

Supersonic Gaming October 24, 2016

Does not work For some reason it does not boot because it keeps coming up with cannot read file 💩💩💩and what's the point if you have a old Mac plus that works you might as well use it

Blue SheepYT April 29, 2017

this sucks why do I have to have a disk image one apple two IX could create a disk image before I launch the app it comes with all the goodies needed but no you guys have to make it complicated where it tells me I have to make a directory how do I make a directory on something this new it's easy to make a directory on MS-DOS! I'm tails, U don't mess with me

Marvin P. February 20, 2016

Just okay I don't think this version of Mini vMac is anything special. The performance is a bit choppier on Android than it is on the same device using Windows (my tablet can dual boot to Windows 8.1). The touch experience is better on this version, but it is a shame that the keyboard is comically small, which makes it really hard to type. It is a pity that I can't recommend this one at this time, but I hope it will improve.

João Augusto Possamai June 19, 2016

Sad, sad, sad Mac. Even when using valid rom files (the same ones I use on my computer) the app gives me an error with six zeroes. Unusable.

J.K. Benedict May 16, 2016

Thank you! I applaud this as I've used this project on x86 since day 1. Ignore the haters and ask them to offer code to help.

EpicGuy7130 May 15, 2016

Doesn't work I put the vMac.ROM file and other files in the storage/emulated/0/minivmac directory and it does nothing

Урош Ђурђевић November 23, 2015

Meizu m2 I can't use this emulator simply because i have no menu button on my phone and i see no way to add diskettes

Parker Reed November 19, 2015

Used it in the past and loved it. Tying now on Marshmallow I get the 000000 error when loading disc images.

Kyoobur8000 September 6, 2016

Stupid!!! I can't play on the MAC ROM because I downloaded an install package and put it into the "minivmac" folder I created but it STILL doesn't function properly...Can you please fix this bug??? ALSO, it only runs the rom on PC

Dean Titus June 19, 2016

sangu oke January 16, 2016

Ibn Batuta January 10, 2016

Waste of space on Lollipop too bad, no way to get system disk loaded

Shoham Chakraborty April 14, 2016

Okay. Not compatible with newer phoned as they don't have menu button.

Kit Lang December 30, 2015

Cannot find directory to load rom?

Thomas Wheeler May 6, 2016

There's something wrong with this application. You need a ROM, delete it

SlayerGaming_TV March 18, 2017

Does not work. Says that It cannot read the disk file. Terrible emulator.

Jimmy Speegle April 7, 2017

The app works.... In the sense of launching. That's it. It will load the mac rom but when you insert a disk no matter what it is, it just shows five zeros.

Joe Filingeri May 22, 2017

This app displays a sad Mac when trying to boot any valid boot disk images with a working Mac Plus ROM. This is happening on an LG G6 running Android 7.0. 😢

Max Crooks August 25, 2016

RACHEL ANN KRUEGER January 9, 2016
