Automatically set the setting each launch

I want to make it so if you launch the app, you don't have to manually set the setting yourself. The setting I want to change is the "Speed Control" to set it to 1x everytime the app launches instead of 8x. Can it do that? Thank you.

OS: macOS High Sierra 10.13.6
Software: don't you know already?
Emulating a: 128K
Emulated OS: System 1.1

IIRC the (default) speed setting and many other options have to be specified at compilation time of the app.
I you wish, you may try building the depreciated version 3.5X yourself.
Its not too hard to build for the old version …

I think I need help with building it, it links to a system software and not a build

It links to a disk image; the build system runs within the emulator. You need to provide your own system and ROM.

Drag the disk image over a running emulator, open the application in the disk, enter your build settings as documented on the website, and build. The emulator will then prompt you to save the results on the host system, from where you can build and run the software with the configuration settings you set.

If I try to launch System Software 6.0.8 in a 128K machine, it will just display the sad mac screen, so I'll have to move it over. Is the app compatible with System Software 1.1?

You can use the default Mac Plus build with System 5 or later, I believe. I may have also got it running with System 3.2, but I doubt you'll have much luck with a 128k/1.1 combo. Worth a try though -- most of the hooks used are provided by Mini vMac and not the OS itself.

I have a bunch of junk in my downloads file related to Mini vMac I can use.

I finally tried and none of them work. I downloaded 3 images, all the provided images.

Maybe I'll just move it over.

I'm emulating 3 Mac Plus(es) at once. I'll doubt I'll know which one I'm suppose to choose.
If you need the different disk images I'm using, you can tell me at anytime.

Just drag the disk image over one of those windows, and it should mount on the desktop. Open it and run the app inside.

What disk images are you talking about? I'm pretty sure putting the same disk image will just end up in it saying that its being used by a other application or it's already used by Mini vMac.

If you followed the instructions on the website, it provides a link to the source, which is in a disk image. You decompress on your host and drag that image over a running Mini vMac instance to mount the image so you can run the preprocessor app. Once that's done, Mini vMac will prompt you to save the properly configured source and project files to an appropriate location on your host. You can then load up the project in your selected development environment, compile, and execute.

Open the "Build_MiniVMac.pdf" (fourth link). Everything is in that manual, starting with the link to the download page where you will find the link to the source code.
