There should be a keyboard displayed in your bottom screen along with a few options like screen scaling and three options for mouse emulation. When MiniVmac starts the mouse is mapped to a scaled position in relation to where you are touching the touch screen, however this happens right over the keyboard. Pressing start brings up the D-pad control of the mouse and as you mentioned X is a mouse-click.

What device are you running this on?

I'm curious as to why you can't see the keyboard or if the touchscreen doesn't work for the scaled mouse.

Games 'N Music version 1.22.

I just don't see the keyboard at all. All I see is a black screen. Is there a file I'm missing that will bring up the keyboard?

On my GnM I had to upgrade the MicroSD card to a 1GB SanDisk to get this to work(other brands may work but this is the only one I got to work). I was getting a "disk not present" error or something though.

You did find a Vmac.rom right?

You're sure you dldi patched the .nds file?
Use the v1 dldi if you have a different MicroSD card other then the 128MB.

You chose the 2.5 MB version of the .nds file right?

Another problem that happened to me that sounds similar to yours is, on one of my SanDisks, I had to move all of the files and folders from the vmac folder directly into the root of my card. I mean all of them: the Vmac.Rom, MiniVmac.nds file, minivmac.ini, disk0.dsk, disk1.dsk and the entire ui_gfx Folder.

Basically just chose everything that is in vmac folder and move it to the root.

Hope that helps. I know it works on the GnM, but if you have the 128MB you may have to upgrade.

Well I have a 2 GB SD card so no upgrade there. Second, I think the ui_gfx folder is what I'm missing and I don't think I found it in the Mini vMac DS files.

That is contained in the MiniVmacR3 from lazyone's site, I didn't want to include that in the files I supplied. You must of skipped a step. :)

You rename them to disk0.dsk, disk1.dsk, disk2.dsk, disk3.dsk, disk4.dsk or disk5.dsk


I also wrote up a small guide with links to pre-made disk images. You will need to find the vMac.rom but thats real easy.

Thanks. Still have all my old Mac Disks and am looking forward to playing the old games again.
