Variations Service (Basic) Directions

</h2>

|
|
<p> <b> Alpha! </b> Variations for the current stable version
|
|
are available from the main
|
|
<a href="var/mnvm0159.html">Mini vMac Variations Service</a>
|
|
page.
|
|
For more information about the Alpha, see the
|
|
<a href="alpha.html">Mini vMac 37</a> download page.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p> Mini vMac has no preference settings, which helps to keep
|
|
it small, simple, and reliable. Instead, options can be chosen
|
|
at compile time. You can compile a variation of Mini vMac
|
|
with options you desire following the instructions on the
|
|
<a href="build.html">Build</a>
|
|
page. </p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p> Or, I can compile variations for you. <p>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
With a
|
|
<a href="https://www.gryphel.com/c/wishlist/index.html">donation to the Gryphel Project</a>
|
|
of ten dollars or more, you will receive a
|
|
“<a href="sp_code.html">Sponsor Code</a>”
|
|
that can be used to request custom variations, as many as you
|
|
could reasonably want for a period of a year. You
|
|
can make as many copies of these variations as you want,
|
|
and give them to anyone, under the GNU General Public License (GPL).
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
Without a Sponsor Code, you can request Demo versions, that
|
|
are identical to the regular version,
|
|
except that the word “Demo” floats around the emulated
|
|
screen.

<h4> Directions </h4>
|
|
|
|
<p> Select the options you desire from the
|
|
<a href="a_var.html">Mini vMac *<i>Alpha</i>* Variations Service (Basic)</a>
|
|
page, including your Sponsor Code if you have one, then
|
|
press the “Make custom variation” button at top. (The
|
|
link in each option’s name leads to documentation for
|
|
that option.)
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
In around 5 seconds, a page will appear with a download link.
|
|
Click on the link to download your compiled variation. (You should
|
|
probably also save the page, to record the options chosen
|
|
and other details.) You can also verify md5 checksum
|
|
and message signature displayed on the page.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
Meanwhile, the Variation Server has been double checking,
|
|
by compiling the variation a second time. If you reload
|
|
the page with your web browser (another 5 seconds or so
|
|
after the page first appears), a line at the bottom that
|
|
said “Preliminary Result” should change to
|
|
“Final Result (both compiles match)”. Otherwise,
|
|
an error will be displayed.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
To prevent taking too much space on my hosting provider’s
|
|
computers, older custom variations will eventually be removed.
|
|
So please download your variation promptly.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p> After you download the variation,
|
|
extract the application from the archive, and place the
|
|
appropriate ROM image file into the same folder,
|
|
just as is done for the standard compile of Mini vMac.
|
|
Mini vMac does not create preference files or change registry settings
|
|
or make any other changes to your computer. So there is no problem in
|
|
having multiple variations of Mini vMac installed.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
</p>
|
|
The Basic Variations Service offers only a
|
|
few options. Many more options can be accessed through the
|
|
<a href="a_vara.html">Advanced Variations Service</a>.
|
|
For updating an existing variation, either to change some options
|
|
or to use the same options in a newer version of Mini vMac,
|
|
there is also the
|
|
<a href="a_vart.html">Text Based Variations Service</a>.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<h4> Some fine print </h4>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
The Variations Service only promises to build variations
|
|
accurately from the public Mini vMac source. No guarantee is made
|
|
that the built variations are suitable for any purpose.
|
|
(Please <a href="https://www.gryphel.com/c/feedback.html">report any bugs</a>.)
|
|
It is possible that some variations can not be built at all due to
|
|
bugs in the Mini vMac source. Otherwise, requested variations will be
|
|
built eventually, but there is no guarantee of how long it will take,
|
|
due to hardware failures and such issues.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
The Variations Service is reproducible.
|
|
That is, if you ask for the same options
|
|
twice, you will get the exact same application archive. (The
|
|
file name will be different, but the contents are the same.)
|
|
The Sponsor Code used does not effect the
|
|
resulting Variation, so two sponsors requesting the same
|
|
variation will get the same result. (With no Sponsor Code, a
|
|
demo is created, which is different from the sponsored
|
|
variation.)
