2) Get an old Apple ROM image for the above emulator. Explanation: The above emulator has a legal problem - it cannot ship copies of Apple's ROMs, so you must somehow find a copy of an old Mac Plus ROM from 1985. Try Google'ing for 'vMac.rom' and then chase it down. It should only take you 5 minutes to find one this way.
