The µvMac emulator allows modern computers
|
|
to run software made for early Macintosh
|
|
computers, the computers that Apple sold from 1984 to 1996
|
|
based upon Motorola's 680x0 microprocessors, most notably the
|
|
<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Macintosh_Plus">Macintosh Plus</a>.
|
|

|
|

µvMac began in 2020 as a spin off of the program Mini vMac. Mini vMac,
|
|
while great, was inflexible and very difficult to maintain. This fork
|
|
was created to clean up and modernize the code base, make the project
|
|
easier to compile and hack on, and allow for much easier user
|
|
configuration. The intent of Mini vMac was to create a "emulator
|
|
collection" of many very optimized "variations" of the same codebase.
|
|
I consider this much more trouble than it's worth, and intend to focus
|
|
more on maintainability and accuracy.

|
The “micro” in the name refers more to the side and simplicity
|
|
of the codebase than of any particular binary. That said, having every
|
|
possible system emulated by one single program would, in fact, be smaller.
|
|
Also it was meant to imply that this comes "after" Mini vMac.
|

|
|
Besides the Macintosh Plus, there
|
|
are also emulations of the Macintosh 128K, 512K, 512Ke,
|
|
SE, Classic, and SE FDHD.
|
|
Work is in progress on Macintosh II emulation, which seems to be mostly
|
|
stable from what testing I've done.
