I would, however, suggest that if the name change does go through, to maybe put the original name in brackets or something. A transition period is a good idea. Joshua Juran also suggested something of the sort, in private email. I'm thinking that that the first step could be to rename the Mini vMac...

That's true, but on Intel-style CPUs without the virtualization extensions even VMWare ends up just doing binary translation, and at that point it's tough to make any distinction. (Admittedly it's mostly 1:1 translation so you don't need a fancy optimizer on the back end). I had thought that most o...

Virtualization solutions like VMWare and VirtualBox ultimately *are* emulators, they just cheat on the CPU emulation in various ways. Yes, the CPU is the difference between virtualization and emulation as the terms are now commonly used, as I understand it. In virtualization, software for the most ...

Re: Thanks
Am I right, there is no "open image" menue and no sound support with your X-windows versions? Menu bars are also not part of the X API. There is a beginning of a gtk port for Mini vMac, which has menu bars, but missing much else, and is not worth using yet. The default compile for Linux d...

Thanks for the feedback. I'm not actually too concerned about finding the best possible name. I'm just considering moving away from a name with problems to one that hopefully has less problems. It would be so much less work to use the Gryphel name and icon that I'd be inclined to use them if there a...

Re: vMac.ROM not fond with Suse Linux
I have been using MiniVMac on Windows and MacOS Classic platforms and would like to use it on Suse Linux11.0 too. My problem is, that MiniVMac don't seem to find its vMac.ROM file although it resides in the same directory. In Linux and other X based versions, Mini vMac looks for vMac.ROM in the cur...

Name change?
I've been contemplating renaming the Mini vMac emulator, so I thought I'd check if anyone has any opinions about it. Some reasons for change are: * People have difficulty with the capitalization of Mini vMac. * The term "vMac" and the icon seem a bit questionable in terms of trademarks. Th...

I could understand why the new timing will affect the speed, however how about converting the 68000 assembly core into Microsoft MASM style for using that in Microsoft compilers? Another detail I didn't mention in release news is that the version for PowerPC Mac OS 9 and earlier works again, becaus...

The II/IIx boot slower than older builds Yes, I expect it would be somewhat slower than before. Some increases in accuracy affect the C version of the CPU emulation more than than the assembly language versions. Now that there is assembly language for both PowerPC and Intel, the C version is evolvi...

Re: A Description of the Mac emulation in MESS
I thought I'd try to clarify how Mini vMac operates, if anyone is interested. Essentially vMac emulates a 68k CPU, a hunk of RAM, and just enough hardware stubs to trick the ROM into booting. I believe that is more a reasonable description of how Basilisk II operates. No other hardware is emulated, ...

Most of us do not need a faster 68000 Mini vMac, we need a more complete Mini vMac II! Mini vMac is open source, so feel free to work on what interests you. I have attempted other models for getting development done, but they just don't seem viable. Anyway, if anyone implements improvements in the ...

As far as partition tables, wouldn't the disk image that I use in minivmac have a partition table in it? No. Mini vMac disk images are more like giant floppies in that respect. They have the same format as one partition of a hard drive and not an entire hard drive. (Actually many formats, such as M...

I know that copying a correctly sized image to a floppy drive this way will work. I'm not so familiar with doing this on hard drives. I think it would work to copy an image to one of the partitions of the hard drive, not the entire hard drive. (Depending on operating system, perhaps something like &...

Hi, I'm catching up on mail after a trip. (I'm posting this same reply on both discussions on E-maculation and 68kmla.) I believe that "Dog Cow" is generally correct, though this may or may not apply specifically to Wizardry. Mini vMac does not emulate the disk hardware at low level, and s...

Re: Build Issues
when it comes to building in xCode (v3.2) it does not want to compile I think you need to use the '-ev' option of the build system ( http://minivmac.sourceforge.net/doc/options.html#option_ev ). The build system for Mini vMac 3.1.3 defaults to generating a project for Xcode 2.4.1, but it can genera...

Ubuntu is up to date on my desktop, but not my laptop. ... Hope this helps! Thanks for the further information. That is pretty weird. As I said, I'm no Linux expert.
