Testsync: A Mini vMac Extra!

[ClockWise]

A new Mini vMac Extra!

http://minivmac.sourceforge.net/

"TestSync is a small program that demonstrates a problem reported by Manuel Alfayate with the video emulation of Mini vMac. Without TestSync I couldn't see the problem, even when I was looking for it. In fact, I wrote TestSync to prove the problem didn't exist, but it didn't work out that way. Either Manuel has very good eyes, or the problem is more obvious on his hardware.

Anyway, now that I can reproduce the problem, I can think about what to do about it."

The Mini vMac extras are really neat:

I like the idea of using "AutoQuit" and "AutoQuit7" to pretend that I'm running Mac programs without any sort of emulator.

If I use "MnvMreg" to map Mini vMac to the Windows registry I can just double click on a hard disk image to run the emulator and boot it. If I combine this with "AutoQuit" I can boot the hard disk image and automatically run the application without looking at the Mac OS GUI. Then when I exit the application, the emulator will shut down.

Magic!
