Mini vMac for iPhone is a trip for the nostalgic Macheads out there. Mini vMac is an open source Mac Plus emulator that has now been ported to the iPhone.

Mini vMac for iPhone requires a jailbroken iPhone, and can be loaded by adding the namedfork.net repository to the Cydia installer as described on the main page. You’ll also have to round up a Mac Plus ROM image and disk images of any applications you want to run.

There are quite a few free Emulators available on the Internet that allow you to run the Classic Macintosh OS on modern OSX or Windows Machines. Click for more information and download.  These are fun to play around with, but crash too frequently to be of real use.

Sheepshaver seems to be the best, allowing you to run up to OS 9.0.4 within a fairly stable environment.

After you get your emulator set up click here to download your Macintosh Operating System of Choice–then click here to download a ROM file and you’re all set!
