Existing users, 
According to the developer site, you still need an orginal Mac Plus: "The first thing you need is a ROM image file from a Macintosh Plus. This file should be named 'vMac.ROM'. A utility such as "CopyRoms" can be used to obtain this file from your Macintosh Plus. (If you don't have a Macintosh Plus, you could check the "Where to buy an old Macintosh" page.)"
If so, why would I want to emulate a Mac Plus in OS X? I'd rather have the real feeling of an orginal Mac: chuny keyboard, boxy mouse, small screen and above all: portable. Which I can't say about mu G4 ;-)
re: Rather have a real mac Plus - prattp
Elsewhere on the site is a reply:"Mini vMac requires a ROM image file to run, and so can be legally used only by those who own a Macintosh Plus. This leads to the question, if you need to own the real machine to use it, what is the use of the emulator? First, a real Macintosh Plus won't last forever. It is common for the power supply to fail. It is still legal to use the emulation after the real computer breaks. And second, the emulation is more convenient than the real thing. It is much faster (on modern machines) and you can use a better screen, keyboard, and mouse. And it is easier to transfer files between the modern machine and the emulator."
