Just out of curiosity, the Compact Mac screen is 512x342 pixels at 72 ppi which interpolates to 480x321 on the iPhone screen, which is 480x320 at 160 ppi. However, your emulated screen scrolls more than one pixel row beyond both edges of the iPhone screen. Wondered what factors affect the emulation screen size? Clearly you are maintaining the 512x342 aspect ratio rather than scaling it down to fit completely on the iPhone screen (I don't really consider the single pixel row to be significant). Is this an option that can be built-into Mini vMac or the iPhone port?

It has two display modes that can be toggled by tapping the screen with two fingers:

one will scale the compact mac's screen to the iPhone's 480x320, so you can see the whole thing, and the other will show real pixels and scroll when you touch the edges.

I tried search on google and all it comes with is a video which has no sound and very distorted and hard to see. I have Windows Vista and I was wondering if and how to convert an sit to dsk to play mac games on a mini vMac emulator? Thanks in advance for help

It is explained on mini vMac's page.

Basically, you don't convert a .sit to .dsk, you extract whatever is in the .sit and copy it to a disk image.

I think the best thing would be to get StuffIt Expander into Mini vMac, so you can expand things there.
