Ratings and reviews

This app has a good design, but why for me when I insert a virtual System 7 floppy disk inside the machine, it shows a bomb error. Every time I try to do it, it just does that. And when I insert a Guided Tour Of Macintosh disk inside it, it loads, but when I try to use the system... Guess what? It freezes on me! I thought that my Nokia 3 phone was soon gonna explode! Fix the app and I will rate you 5 stars.

Well, Mini vMac requires a rom for it to work. I have set up System 7.5 all by myself without trouble. So, this app is good and is fast at doing everything, but is slow when it comes to the installation preparation screen. For those who are saying that it doesn't work because they don't know how to configure, just follow the instructions on how to dump the vmac.rom and put it to /storage/emulated/0/minivmac directory. Then, put all system disks required to start or install to the same dir. Easy.

Thank you for port this app to android, and finally installed Macintosh 7.5.5 without problem. There's one problem mouse cursor slow and can you please improve this app by boost its Processor speed up to 16 Mhz and 8 Mb of RAM? I would be glad if you can :)
