You might be able to run a Detect Displays before deciding whether to launch VLC fullscreen. Hi Mathis, I don’t think I’ve encountered these specific problems but here are some ideas.ġ. Sorry to bother you with these questions, but maybe you have encountered similar problems and know a quick fix. I could get rid of the mouse with some apple script moving it to the bottom with key strokes since it is out of the projection wall, but this is not very smart. If everything is turned on and I do a restart, the mouse hides. Again, only with disconnected projector on startup. I used to have the mouse cursor problem, and now I am having it again in the described setting: in those cases in which the autostart works, the mouse cursor does not hide. ![]() Sometimes it works, sometimes not, I think. If I restart with projector on, everything is fine, but this is no option. This used to be different, but I have the impression that you cannot rely completely on what VLC does when no display is attached. Even worse, the video is played somewhere in the background, not visible at all. when the computers (not accessible) start in the morning with connected beamers (HDMI) being on standby, the auto-fullscreen does not work. In fact, I used this exact method for quite a while in installations, and it worked pretty well.īut now I encountered two issues that drive me crazy:ġ. Trouble is, VLC seems to override the automatic shutdown methods, so in order to shut down properly, we need to tell VLC to stop playing and quit before shutting down/rebooting. You can usually set this up by using a simple cron command that will shut down the machine at a given time, and/or OSX’s built-in Energy Saver Schedule (under System Prefs -> Energy Saver -> Schedule… ). You may also want to have the machine automatically shut down (at night for instance), then reboot in the morning. To autolaunch on startup, go to System Preferences -> Users & Groups -> Login Items and add your app. To export as an application, choose File->Export and set the File Format to Application. change /path/to/your/video-file.mov to the actual file path of the video you’d like to autolaunch.your copy of the VLC app may be in a place other than /Applications/VLC.app/Contents/MacOS/VLC.If you want games and software, look for 68k-compatible software on the rest of Macintosh Repository.Open a new doc in AppleScript Editor, and paste in the code above. When working with disk images on Windows, use HFVExplorer:įor Mac, use HFSUtilsGUI: (This is ONLY for making blank images.)Īnd HFS Disk Maker: (Making HFS images of folders on OSX and macOS) I don't know any good replacements for Stuffit on Linux, so just run Stuffit for Windows under WINE. Modern Mac users should use the Unarchiver from MacPaw. You should do the rest on the emulated mac.) Windows: (This version is only useful for expanding the disk images and that's it. Useful for transffering Stuffit archives.Īn extremely useful utility is Stuffit Expander, which is used to expand stuffit archives. Mini vMac thinks everything dropped onto it is a disk image, and ImportFl interprets the disk Mini vMac attempts to mount and saves it as a file. If you transfer files from FAT-formatted drives (for example, Windows and DOS disks), then consider copying the "Apple File Exchange" folder onto your hard drive, from the "Tidbits" disk.Ī very usefule extra for transferring files is ImportFl, availabe here: It will boot from it and you will then have a fully functional emulated Mac, ready for software to be installed. Reboot the Emulator and drag your hard disk file onto the window. Just drag the disk images onto the window, and eventually you will have full software. You will be prompted several times to swap disks. If you need, for instance, Ethrnet software, then you would customize. Click Install to do this or Customize to install individual software. ![]() You are then prompted if you would like to install the default configuration. Unstuff and drag the "Install 1" image and your chosen hard drive file onto the window. You should get a disk with a blinking question mark. What to name it is shown on the error message. Make sure the ROM image is in the same folder as the program, or it will not start! If it sill gives an error, make sure the ROM image is named right. Mini vMac provides some blank images, download them here: I will not provide download links as it violates Apple's copyright. You can extract one from an old mac, or download one illegally. You can pick any variation, as long as you do not pick a 128k version. To install System 7.0.1 in Mini vMac, first you'll need Mini vMac, found here: You can also use a real mac, but the installation will be different, and it might be frustrating.) ![]() (NOTE: This article can work with other system versions, you just need to learn how the installer is different, and change around some of the steps for that version.
