This can be done by preparing afloppy disk with CopyRoms set to be the startupapplication (in System 6 or earlier, not System 7),and replacing the finder with the" AutoQuit"application. Please send methis 4 byte file, along with a description of your computer,so that I can support it in a future version of CopyRoms.(But only if you are using a 680x0 Macintosh,not PowerPC or Intel.)(And don't send me actual ROM image files.)ĬopyRoms has no user interface, and so can be used evenon a machine without a working keyboard, mouse,and/or screen. If CopyRoms doesn't recognize the ROM, it willwrite out a 4 byte file called 'Unknown.ROM',containing just the checksum from the start ofthe ROM. (See the Macintosh 680x0list for the required size.) If CopyRoms writes out a zero byte file, that most likelymeans there wasn’t enough free disk space to write the ROMimage. CopyRoms only works on computers witha ROM whose checksum is included in this list. Itshould write out a file (to the folder containingthe application) and then immediately quit.On a Macintosh Plus, or Macintosh 512Ke, it shouldwrite out a 128K file called "vMac.ROM".For the name and size of the file written out onsome other machines see this list of Macintosh 680x0models. To use, just launch the CopyRoms application. CopyRoms should beable run without crashing on any Macintosh,even if it doesn't succeed in saving a ROM image. It should also work on many other 680x0 Macintoshmodels, but most haven't been tested. (There is also an Alpha version in development,see below.)ĬopyRoms is a very simple program to write out acopy of the ROMfrom a 680x0 Macintosh to an image file.It should work on a Macintosh 128K through to aMacintosh IIcx. You can refer to this awesome Macintosh models timeline on Wikipedia for old world vs new world ROMS. This is an archive containing all of the most popular Macintosh models ROM files for emulation purposes, ranging from the first 64K ROM from the Mac 128K to the 4MB ROM files from the Bandai Pippin or PowerMac G3, listed below in ROM size, then by release date from oldest to newest.
