Though this may be in the humor category, here's what I was using most 
recently. I got it to run somewhat (so it may be a start).

Here's what I did (on my Intel P4 Linux box):

Start with a 5816 image and a new VM.
Load Tim's VMMaker 3.7b1
Load this CS
Open a Transcript
find a small image with Morphic.

In a Workspace:
	(InterpreterSimulatorLSB new openOn: 'small.image') test.

I see the Morphic screen from small.image painted, but it doesn't keep 
running.
I don't get any walkbacks; it just completes normally.

The messages in the Transcript are:

Looking for module MiscPrimitivePlugin ... loaded
<Running full GC ... done>
Looking for module FilePlugin
Looking for module SecurityPlugin ... loaded ... loaded
Looking for module BitBltPlugin ... loaded
