Homebrew Mini vMac for 3DS

[dead_guy]

Wow cool.

 

[whostolemywaffle]

how would u use this on homebrew? what files would you put in homebrew?

and how would u shut down if using?

holy fucking shit

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.

 

[TarableCode]

Will do

 

[TarableCode]

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?!

Sound then color. Also a bigger keyboard for those with big fingers (like me)

I prefer sound!!

 

[NuikopeaDemon]

this is amazing

 

[xtheman]

So is this project dead? I would have loved sound and color support.

 

[TarableCode]

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

 

[TarableCode]

Update released, see first post for details

 

[Joel16]

This is turning out quite nicely @TarableCode!
Love the new colours!

 

[rcarillion]

Thanks for all the hard work! Colors look great!

 

[TarableCode]

There was an issue with the earlier released builds, please re download from my github linked in the first page.
I set the clear colour to lime green for testing and forgot to put it back XD

So how exactly do I set this up? Where do I place the files?

 

[TarableCode]

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/

Sorry for asking again but I have cfw, what can I do with the cia folder?

 

[TarableCode]

Those can be installed to the home menu using FBI.

Do you have a list of md5/sha1 checksums for said rom files? Also on the macII version how much RAM is emulated and is the MMU emulated?
