Around 10 years ago, Chipwits was one of my emulation "quests". None of the emulators made it work flawlessly without graphical glitch, although with some perseverence, I did make it run once on my real Mac Plus (1.5 meg ram, using the ramdisk trick), but never again, strangely. Emulators were no-go, and I was always downloading the latest version of mini-vMac to see if the compatibility was sorted out.
I logged in this week to find that a new file version was available on mac garden and I promptly went to try it out with the most recent version of mini-vMac. It launched, but the graphics were corrupted (black rectangles where icons should be in-game).
I made it work by getting a .zip file out there in the internet of someone who forced custom compilations of mini-vMac with every possible settings under the sun. I took one for Mac Plus with 1 Meg of memory. However, no matter how hard I tried, the file found on this Mac Garden page simply will not run (once I've of course uncompressed the .sit archive and put it in its own .dsk image for me to use with mini-vMac). What *DID* work was my own old .dsk image on a 400 kb low density, single sided volume from previous attempts nearly 10 years ago. I still had that file in my mac emulation folders and it works perfectly. I'm wondering if I should upload this volume on Mac Garden.
