Re: [new] emulators/minivmac

amazing thank you for testing! i'm glad that it works well on powerpc.
does it run at acceptable speeds?

i updated the port to reflect your recommendations thank you!

i also took this opportunity to create a minivmac desktop entry so that
users can select it in the menu and simply drag-and-drop the ROM and the
dsk.

let me know what you think!
