Mac Plus games on my G4? Yessss!

Hemingray · Apr 23, 2002, 01:05 AM

Totally pointless, but seeing as I'm too lazy to pull out any of my Mac Pluses from storage, I came across the beautiful Mac Plus emulator vMac.

So, how many of you can boast running OS 6 under OS X?

Beej · Apr 23, 2002, 01:17 AM

Damn, that thing must fly like OS 6 has never flown before!

Hemingray · Apr 23, 2002, 01:31 AM

Let's put it this way... it completely boots in four seconds.

Those were the good ol' days... no extensions, no fat code, just a good ol' core system folder that weighed in at a hefty 880K!

And I love hearing the old Mac Plus beep again!

Beej and Hemingray, how do you guys like my signature?

Hey Hemingray,

Where did you find that emulator?
I've been wanting to pull out our old Plus, but I haven't had the time.
That emulator looks cool!

Macmaniac · Apr 23, 2002, 07:33 AM

My SE has that same screen! I want that emulator! I love these old games!

Mr. Anderson · Apr 23, 2002, 09:55 AM

I'd love to get my hands on the emulator and a bunch of those games, post the link if its available.

Ah, nostalgia

Hemingray · Apr 23, 2002, 10:08 AM

Okay, here we go!

vMac Emulator:
http://www.versiontracker.com/morein...id=4782&db=mac

Mac Plus ROM: (Please keep in mind that in order for your download to be legal you need to own a Mac Plus... yadda yadda yadda)
http://www.homestead.com/_ksi0701961...files/vmac.zip

World Builder Games:
http://www.geocities.com/worldbuildergames/
(For some reason I couldn't get Enchanted Scepters to work! Kept getting bombs.)

Use Disk Copy to make disk images for the Mac Plus emulator to read and write to. Instructions come with vMac.

Have fun!

P.S. Nice sig MacAztec!

Hemingray

Please help me!!! I've downloaded all the files but I can't make it work. I've got the vMac emulator and the .rom file and I've placed the .rom file in the vMac folder, I start the emulator and I get the disk with a blinking question mark!!!!

What should I do....

Sorry....

Kindest Regards

Geert · Apr 23, 2002, 11:00 AM

there were some good games on the mac plus (and other macs that followed)
Dark Casttle, ... (can't remember any others anymore, I have a blackout from posting on MR

)

And why I could remember DC? Because I came across a completely reworked version that ran straight under X (in color and everything)
Except the controls are still difficult as hell.

MacAztec · Apr 23, 2002, 11:09 AM

Thank you...Thank you....

I think I should be off to school now...

Hey, sorry about that! I forgot to mention, you'll need a System to start it up.
The darn thing is, I can't find where I got my disk image from! I'm searching right now, so as soon as I find one, I'll post the link.

Tiauguinho · Apr 23, 2002, 12:06 PM

Thank you very much Hemingray, for your attention and your time!!!! I'll be waiting for your post!

Best regards

Woohoo! I struck gold!

Have fun, guys, here's a page that has all the Mac Systems all the way back to v1.1.

P.S. No problem Tiago!

Hemingray · Apr 23, 2002, 12:22 PM

Man this is sweet...

Tiauguinho · Apr 23, 2002, 01:16 PM

Thanks a lot Hemingray!!!

I'm starting to download the StartUp Disk! Thank you Hemingray for all the directions given and for your time finding them!

By the way... I remember a game, that if I'm not in mistake, the name was"Risk"... like conquering continents. Where can I find it?

ROFL! I never thought I'd see one of THESE again!

Poor old thing... thank God it's only an emu.

I got bored and downloaded vMac. Now I remember the joy of shooting down vector based TIE fighters. Vector based, those were the good old days....
