https://github.com/evansm7/pico-mac - if you buy our board everything comes pre-compiled for you...

You need a Pico 1 or 2, a micro SD card FAT32, 5v 1a Mini USB power adapter, USB hub/keyboard/mouse.

Comes with a link to a download that has separate UF2 firmware files for Pico 1 and Pico 2 boards, and a 40mb disc image you can drop onto a Micro SD card (includes Psion Chess, Think Pascal, Mac Draw, Mac Write, Missile Command and numerous other games, all with save options). This build is the 208k version. To get different Mac apps on the SD card we also provide a zip file of a MiniVMac Mac Plus emulator for Windows 10/11 that can read/write the SD card, for adding new software from the vintage Macintosh Garden website.

If you don't insert a micro SD card, the firmware boots from a built-in read-only 800k disc image instead.

Update 7/2/2025: Just compiled the latest build image, so now has support available for 640x480 VGA video, useful if you're fitting

a VGA LCD panel in an old Mac chassis, I suppose... Native 512x342 resolution still supported with a different UF2 flash file. (And it already supported 208K RAM and SD card)

We also have in our eBay shop previous versions of the PicoMac compatible PCB without the SD card, in PCB only, self assembly and pre-built, at discounted prices.
