Where are the disks? I booted a System 6.0.8 but I don't see them.

Edit: They're in /usr/share/minivmac/disks, and there's /usr/share/minivmac/roms for placing ROMs in too.

My current WM has no icons, so I can't drag the disks to test them for now. Sorry.

I was wondering about that, since it does the same on my machines. I suspect that this works better for those not using hidpi screens.

I’ll revert back to the previous behavior.

Has anyone taken a look at the extra tools and disks that I added? They were already in my beta package, and I had forgotten that I hadn’t pulled them in, here.

I also added in sdl. Is that causing any issues? I had considered making an -x11 and an -sdl option.

I clearly noticed the magnify changes. They take my full screen automatically, even when the Full Screen Toggle (Ctrl+F) is off. This behavior is undesirable. It's nice how it's completely sharp, but when I hold the Control key, the window box is partially out of the screen.

I expect Magnify to just magnify the window instead of taking the full screen, as it always has, so that behavior is undesirable. And when I turn Magnify off, I can't move the cursor outside the MinivMac window.

Sorry that it took so long, @xlucn, but I added your changes.

@ajacocks, I took your PKGBUILD and simplified to this: https://gist.github.com/xlucn/f95e8a6992628866f84f6740ee1c51d6

Basically, I removed the extras and changed slightly the build process. Feel free to take it and update the package. (There are some magnify-related options of personal preferences, those can be removed.)

BTW, it will also be possible to support more host machine architectures, instead of just x86_64.

I'll be adding some more features to the pkgbuild soon. No new version of Mini vMac is available, but they will hopefully make the package more flexible.

Eric, would you be interested in my updates?

ajacocks commented on 2021-03-31 15:50 (UTC)

I have created a git repo with my proposed changes, here:

https://github.com/ajacocks/minivmac-aur

You will see that I added a bunch of things to the package. First, I built all supported variations of the emulator. Second, I added some commonly-used extras to the package. I do think that those could be split out into a minivmac-extras package, if you'd like. Last, I created a man page.

I'd love to hear thoughts, and if this is useful.

Not using Arch Linux anymore, I disowned the package so others can update it.
