Hey guys, as you might know there's a common issue in MiniVMac regarding the option key: users emulating from a Windows machine cannot hit it.
For getting this fixed I was told I need to remap the keyboard of the emulated machine, does anyone have any idea on how to do so? I mean, I guess I could just use AutoHotkey, but it sounds a little too bodgy for me...
Anyway, hope you guys can help!

Which OS are you attempting to remap on? System 6 works differently than System 7.

I think it's System6 (?), it's a Mac II.adespoton wrote:Which OS are you attempting to remap on? System 6 works differently than System 7.

View Finder Info for the System file inside the System Folder. It will tell you the version.
Re: Remaping keys on MiniVMac
From what I read, its possible to swap keys in the build environment, so that CTRL on a PC keyboard would become the Mac command key. Alas I did not find a working combo for Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 so far.
Paul´s build service is the recommendable way to go.
