Setting up System 6.0.8 on Mini vMac for Windows (updated February 19, 2017) Introduction Mini vMac emulates an old Mac Plus on modern systems, including Windows. Setting it up is very easy. Before getting started, there are a few files that you will need to download. Mini vMac uses 'disk image' files, that hold the information of an emulated disk. For information about using disk images in Mini vMac, see the ' Floppy Drive ' section of the Hardware Reference. This page is about transferring files from the host operating system into and out of disk image files.

What is All Macintosh Roms (68K + PPC)? This is an archive containing all of the most popular Macintosh models ROM files for emulation purposes, ranging from the first 64K ROM from the Mac 128K to the 4MB ROM files from the Bandai Pippin or PowerMac G3, listed below in ROM size, then by release date from oldest to newest.

Extract the archive containing blank disk images that you downloaded at the start of this guide. Look for and extract the file 024M.dsk.
Run the Mini vMac executable and once again drag “System Startup” into the vMac screen. Also drag “024M.dsk” onto the screen. This disk should show up in the Mac OS as a disk called “untitled.”
![Mini Mini](/uploads/1/2/5/4/125485938/703918083.jpg)
Inside of the Mac OS double click on “System Startup” and then on “Installer” to begin installing the Mac OS. Click “OK” on the first prompt and then “Install” to install System 6 onto “untitled.” When asked for “System Additions” just drag that file from Windows on to the Mini vMac screen as you have done with the other disk images. You will be asked for “System Startup” one more time before installation finishes - just drag the file from Windows to Mini vMac again.
Figure two: About to Install System 6 on Mini vMac
Now you've got a disk image containing System 6 that Mini vMac can boot and that contains plenty of free space for applications. Now you can run the Mini vMac executable and when you see the blinking question mark, you can just drag 024M.dsk onto the screen to boot it. But before we finish, there is one more thing we should do…
