Flickr Find: Macintosh on Nintendo DS

While browsing Flickr that afternoon, we came across a shot of a Nintendo DS running Macintosh System 6 in emulation on reader Ken Fager’s Flickr stream. Of course, we contacted him to ask how he did it. Here’s what he had to say.

First, grab a DS flash card and install MiniVMacDS onto its root directory.

Once that’s done, place the Mac Plus ROM into the “vmac” folder along with a System 6/7 install disk

(you can manufacture a blank disk image using Disk Utility).

Finally, turn on the DS and choose MiniVMacDS. It will boot the disk images. From there, install (minimal) System 6 onto the blank disk image.

Ken notes that it’s a bit pokey, but hey, that wasn’t done for speed! Have fun whether you try that for yourself. Thanks for sharing, Ken! We love it.
