Auto-mount

Post by WizKid »

Is there a way to have mini vMac 36.04 automount a disk image?

It's kind of annoying having to "open" the hfv/hfs image every time.

I've also noticed that in System 6.0.8, when you make any changes in the control panel, the changes don't stick if you then shut down the emulator and restart it.

They do, however, stay if you choose restart instead of shut down. It's as if it's PRAM isn't being saved.

Is the a way to fix the above problems?

Using the Mac II variant.

Depends: on macOS you can. Check out https://www.gryphel.com/c/minivmac/hardware.html for the details.

But as for PRAM... Mini vMac uses pre-coded values for PRAM on boot and doesn't save PRAM data when the emulator shuts down. You can set them how you want when compiling your copy of Mini vMac in the first place.
