Pocket Macintosh 128K Emulator – RP2040 HDMI Edition

What is it?

A pocket-sized Macintosh 128K emulator based on the RP2040 and the open-source pico-mac / MicroMac project by Matt Evans. This compact HDMI edition recreates the experience of the original 1984 Macintosh in a device measuring just 4.9 × 4.9cm.

This is a modern emulation device, not an original Apple Macintosh. The supplied version features HDMI output, a built-in USB hub, an onboard system image, and TF/microSD disk-image support.

Why choose it?

Bring the classic monochrome Macintosh experience to a compatible modern HDMI display without making room for a full vintage computer. Connect a compatible USB keyboard and mouse directly to the built-in hub, with no separate external hub or dock required.

Start with the built-in system image, or insert a TF card containing compatible disk-image files. The startup menu lets you select an image from the card to boot, making it convenient to switch between your prepared classic Mac environments.

What makes it special?

• Classic Mac emulation: Recreates the Macintosh 128K experience using an RP2040 microcontroller and pico-mac-based emulation.
• HDMI output: Connects to compatible modern monitors. This listing is for the HDMI version, not the project's standard VGA or miniature LCD variants.
• Built-in system image: An onboard image is provided for booting; specific system version and software titles are not specified.
• TF/microSD image support: Insert a card with compatible disk images and select an image from the boot menu.
• Integrated USB hub: Connect a compatible USB HID keyboard and mouse directly, without an external dock.
• Physical power switch: Convenient on/off control.
• Acrylic protection: A simple acrylic enclosure helps protect the board.
• Pocket-sized footprint: Approximately 4.9 × 4.9cm, easy to carry between setups.

Version note: Project-wide options such as 208K emulated RAM, a 250MHz overclock, VGA circuitry, miniature TFT displays, and GPIO startup audio are not confirmed specifications of this HDMI unit. A display, keyboard, mouse, and TF card are not specified as included accessories.
