Here's my final Macintosh Plus build command for anybody reading this in the future.
setup_t -t larm -cpu arm -api sdl -m II -hres 800 -vres 600 -depth 3 -speed 1 -mem 8M -sound 1 > setup.sh
Here's my final Macintosh II build command for anybody reading this in the future. Turns out compiling Mini vMac is super easy even for a n00b like me, thanks to instructions on this page from Gryphel which made the process dummy proof, just copy/paste the command line and add your own variation options to it and boom it compiles and it works: The surface is enlarged to fit perfectly fine and centered on my TV, everything works fine, I even played Crystal Crazy and it works beautifully in 256 colors :) I have then tried with SDL 1.2 (-api sdl) and it actually works flawlessly. You can move the mouse to refresh a tiny rectangle all over the place, but really it's unusable. I tested SDL 2.0 and while it technically works, it's unusuable, because the only visible part at any given time on the screen is the currently drawn area, so every time there is a sprite or an icon or part of the GUI refreshed, that's the only thing you see, all the rest is black. Wow, turns out I managed to use GCC to compile my own build. I'm sorry if this is not how it works and my post looks cringey, I am not Linux savvy that much :P Thanks! Now, when I launch a disk image and hold down a controller button, I get the launch menu and I can select the "minivmac-new" binary, but it doesn't work, the screen fades to black and Retropie comes back up 2 seconds later. Minivmac-new = "pushd /opt/retropie/emulators/minivmac-new /opt/retropie/emulators/minivmac/minivmac-new /home/pi/RetroPie/roms/macintosh/Mac\ OS\ 7.5.3.dsk %ROM% popd" Then under /opt/retropie/configs/macintosh/ I edited the emulators.cfg file and added a new line like this: Under /opt/retropie/emulators/minivmac/ I copied the binary and named it "minivmac-new" and gave it exactly the same permissions as Retropie's minivmac.
MINI VMAC VARIATIONS UPDATE
Nobody could solve the flickering/jumping mouse cursor issue I've described 2 days ago, so I was wondering: Since there is a recent ARM-based version available for download on the Gryphel website (software author), how would one proceed to update the binary on a Retropie? The Mini vMac binary shipping with Retropie 4.5 is version 3.3.3 which is now 6 years old.
