Classic Mac OS on iPhone

Don't have, need, or want an iPhone but the ability to do this warms my heart. The need to have it run on a jailbroken phone only makes me wonder again why apple won't treat users like adults instead of sheep. 

Classic Mac OS emulator for jailbroken iPhones

 Mini vMac for iPhone [...] is a trip for the nostalgic Macheads out there. Mini vMac is an open source Mac Plus emulator that has now been ported to the iPhone (a regular OS X version exists as well).

It emulates a 4MB Mac Plus; [...], it allows you to scroll to show the full display and even load Mac OS disk images and run classic Mac software.

Mini vMac for iPhone requires a jailbroken iPhone, and can be loaded by adding the namedfork.net repository to the Cydia installer as described on the main page. You'll also have to round up a Mac Plus ROM image and disk images of any applications you want to run.
