In order to get some screenshots for Interleaf Publisher I've attempted to setup a Macintosh II emulation, running System 6. SoftMac 2000, Basilisk II Build 94 and vMac all have been cited as being able to do that, but I cannot get it to work.
Are there any guides you can point me to, or recommendations you can make?
Ok, I more or less got this figured out. There's an alpha build of vMac that is tuned to Mac II emulation. With the right ROM, you can get back to System Software 2.01 (System 4.1/Finder 5.5).
Actually you can use the stable version of Mini vMac, just do not expect much for sound. I use Mini vMac fort this all of the time. Note if you are using anything other than Windows or Apple Inc Darwin OS X (I Refuse to call it Mac OS, because it is NOT Mac OS, it is Darwin [Mach/BSD hybrid N*X] with a custom NeXT based GUI, and Graphics system running atop), you will not be able to use color with out doing some modification to the source. Though if you are using Windows or Apple Inc Darwin OS X, you will have no trouble.
The configuration string in the Mini vMac Build Enviroment is (append your development enviroment and target to the begining using the -t and -e options):
-m II -depth 3 -mem 8M -hres 640 -vres 480 -sound 0 -drives 32 -speed 1 -em-cpu 2 -ta 0 -as 0 -bg 1
And yes you do have to be that specific, I have learned this through experimentation. You can select different default speed and resolution, though for the best results and most acurate available emulation I recomend the 2x speed setting (speed 1) and 640x480 display resolution.
