Just when you thought you could escape, the Mac Plus is ready to pull you back in. Mini vMac is a crazy emulator for jailbroken iPhones that lets you run the Mac Plus OS on your iPhone. This is not an official appstore product so you’ll have to jailbreak your iPhone and add namedfork.net to your Cydia repository list. It will appear under Emulation.

The program itself also requires a MacPlus ROM image as well as disk images of whatever programs you’d like to run. The iPhone ready website offers a full how-to and a video.

Remember, folks, just because you can emulate the Mac Plus on an iPhone doesn’t mean you should. Practice safe emulation.
