For those of you who haven’t studied your Apple history, the Macintosh Plus was the third model in the Macintosh line that was initially released on January 16th, 1986. It had a starting price tag of $2599 and came with 1MB of RAM and an SCSI port.
The operating the Macintosh Plus ran was sophisticated at the time, and served its purpose. Nowadays such an operating system wouldn’t be bearable however, because of what we are used to with Mac OS X Mountain Lion. For those of you who would like to take a trip down memory lane and play around with the old operating system though, you are in luck… if you have an Android device.

Mini Vmac Android Emulator
Improvements in processing power really hit home when you see an eBook reader playing PlayStation games. Sure, we’re talking about a system which launched more than 15 years ago (the original PlayStation launched way back in 1995), but this is a $99 device which seems to be playing the games at full speed!
[Sean] wrote in to share the project with us. After rooting the device he installed System 7 (aka Mac OS 7) using Mini vMac for Android. He uses Free PlayStation Emulator (FPSE) to run the games. There is an Android version which provides the touch-screen controls you see above. We figured the graphics would be awful, but the video after the break proves us wrong. Other than being in black and white we think the graphics are fantastic. Just one hack was necessary to make this happen. [Sean] uses NoRefresh to keep the Nook from refreshing the screen which is what causes the film-negative type of flashing after several page turns.
