Mini vMac troubles (pics)

Here is the problem I get when loading macgarden's emulation disc http://www.macintoshgarden.org/apps/mac ... disk-image
What can I do?

Here is another problem while trying to run a program that works in other emulators I have tried.

I would love some pointers.

Looks like that system setup includes an extension that Mini vMac's emulated system doesn't like. It has been only tested in Basilisk II, according to the description. I can test it out myself later.

You could set up your own disk image:

I am more troubled by the "Could not start the application because your computer's ROMs are too old." I get from Turbosynth.

The program's first version was made in 1988 and this version was from 1995 so I don't know why it could be too new to run on this. It initializes fine on SheepShaver and Basalisk II in any system 7 version.

It's quite possible that a version from 1995 won't run on a Mac Plus from 1986, which is what Mini vMac emulates. I don't know about the application, but it isn't a total impossibility...

Well, Mini vMac emulates different (and older) Macs than BasiliskII and uses different (and older ROM files) to run. An application from 1995 may not run on a Mac Plus.

Also, you cannot simply run any system installed on one machine on a different machine, even when both machines should be able to run that same system version. A specific system version may include different files on different machines. That this 7.5.5 runs in BasiliskII does not mean that it can also run in Mini vMac. Maybe it will after removing or disabling incompatible extensions while running it in BasiliskII.

The cause of the first error is that the Apperance extension requires 68020 and color Quickdraw..

There were programs that allowed you to do this pre-OS8.
