Error when I insert a disk in minivmac
So when I try to insert a bootable disk I get this Mac icon with X Here is a screenshot http://imgur.com/HJ7O4Eo Can this be ROM related? I am using MiniVMac on One plus 3T an Android 7

Re: Error when I insert a disk in minivmac
Have you verified that the disk boots elsewhere? Once you get to that stage, host-based issues shouldn't be cropping up, and the Mini vMac boot code should be identical in the Android port and the official version. This points to the disk not actually being bootable (not blessed? locked?).
Have you been able to boot off of any disk?

I havent't tested the disks anywhere else. I downloaded them from this site https://sites.google.com/site/minivmaca ... systems-os I tried System 5,6,7,7.5 and wasn't able to boot from any disk. Still the same thing. Could you give link that works for sure?

Re: Error when I insert a disk in minivmac
I tried both 7.0.1 and 7.1 disks from the link you provided and both work fine here in Mini vMac on macOS. (The 7.1 disk appears to be a stripped down version, with only a System Folder containing System, Finder, and some empty folders.)

I tried System 7 and still i get the same Mac with X. Is it possible the problem to be caused by the ROM? I know that downloading ROM is illegal but could somebody pm me a link or something...
