- Mini vMac: A fully functional Mac Plus emulator for the Android platform. Mini vMac 1.3.0 free download.
- Corbin Davenport has managed to get the Open Mini VMac III emulator to run on his Android Wear. While the sight of the old school Mac OS System 6.0.3 booting on an android device might be almost sacrilegious to the true Apple Fan, it is still pretty cool.
This is a port of the Mini vMac emulator for the Android platform. It supports almost any Android device, starting from android version 1.5.
Rather than sifting through eBay looking for an old Mac Plus computer with an original installation of the Macintosh OS, a crafty developer has pulled together the Mini vMac emulator for Android tablets that allows Mac OS to be installed to an SD card for use on the device. Follow the relatively simple steps below to get up and running. 1.4.1) for Android - does not support chip-set emulation higher than a Mac Plus Roms or System 7.5.5, so What this means is NO COLOR on Android Mac emulation.
