It works great though I do have one request. Would it be possible to make it so that if you switch the mouse mode (or get any other vmac message) you can use the L shoulder button to dismiss the message rather than having to press "c" on the emulated keyboard? It is kind of annoying having to dig my stylus out just because I hit the A button by accident.
Which would you rather have first?
Sound or a Macintosh II variant with colour?
Benchmarking shows that the o3ds runs at roughy ~1.5x and the new3ds at ~4.5x.
It's unclear if either will run fullspeed with Macintosh II emulation because the emulated CPU is 2x faster and the framebuffer conversion is slower*
*Goddamnit DMP WHERE ARE THE INDEXED COLOUR MODES?!

Work is still being done off and on, IRL issues came up for a bit but recently it's been better.
New github repo here:
https://github.com/TaraHoleInIt/minivmac-3ds
I haven't done a release yet because I never feel like I've "done enough" so there's always one more thing to add/ect.
That being said colour support is going to be in the next release and I'm hoping to get around to sound in the next few days.
It's actually in a buildable state even and works as is, I just wanted to get a bit more work done before saying anything.
Stay tuned

Copy the 3ds folder to the root of your SD card, and copy Macintosh ROM files into /3ds/vmac/
For Macintosh Plus emulation you need vMac.ROM and for Macintosh II emulation you need MacII.ROM.
You also need bootable disk images which I recommend setting up using the desktop version of Mini vMac before copying them over to your 3DS.
Lots of documentation is available at the author's site: http://www.gryphel.com/c/minivmac/
