Is there anyone on 68k who is experienced with classic macos decompiling or patching?

Gorfthechosen, Hey thanks for the reply :) I blasted out an email.. doubt it will work but what the hey.. lol. Yeah I tinkered most of the day yesterday on it but no luck.. I'm hoping a programmer who will someday fall upon this thread can help out. I think there are a few others looking as...

I tinkered with the version 4.0 and 4.5 -> 4.6. They use a different licensing method. That method records installations with the use of a tape to license it. The v5.7 version may be like the 2.0 version.. I am not sure.. I do think it has to do with the "cdev" data.. but that's all greek to me.

When using ResEdit and ResCompare I found that on the version 2.0 that there is a crack made for already that comes with it on macgarden. Running ResCompare I found here there are changes to the "cdev", and "INIT" resources and an add of a "fwst" to the control panel. But that is as far as I can...

Yeah… I’ve got DDS3 tapes on a PowerMac 8600 which I’ve got a large hard drive.. the control panel is really cool!! It’s actually genius. I’d like to be able to use boxes of blank tapes I have.. I can’t stand Retrospect. This control panel mounts the tape right on the desktop. I’ve had real good...

I attempted to have a crack at it.. pardon the pun last night with ResEdit and ResCompare. But I just can't do it.. So on the version 2.0 there is a crack included with the software if someone who is talented enough could duplicate that same patch for v5.7 or figure out what the patch is doing...

Awesome Thank you finkmac!!! This is where I'll continue my search :) I hope it's there.. it's a little newer control panel for OS 9.2.. You have to look up that guy Jim something who is listed as the writer on the program.. a lot of interesting stories of him and a coworker I found online.. lol :P

Hey everyone... Was wondering if anyone could help me out. So I was able to get DeskTap Pro 5.7 from either macintoshgarden or macintoshrepository. There are several versions on those sites. The problem is the v5.7 which is able to work on the newer macs such as the G3 and OS 9.2 but is a demo...

What a great project and option!!! Nice work!!!

Techknight would be the best person to speak to on Mac Portable stuff... He's well versed in all Mac Portable for sure.

I have to add some recent observations of mine. I noticed with a Powerbook Duo 250 with an active matrix screen it had leaky caps of course. I replaced the caps. Now when the tunnel vision occurs it gets more darker around the bottom left where the leaky caps were that match up when the...

I always recap the video board and replace the trimpots on it.

Bradley I’ll buy the 500 ps off of you if you want. No biggie if not. Just figured I’d throw it out there 😊

Oh and if you haven’t recapped your 700 power supply yet just be careful on some of the througholes. I had issues with a few hole vias coming out. I do recommend a desoldering gun (which now I have). And practice with it if possible before on something else. It’s good to spot the leg area with...

Great job on the 700 Power Supply. Techknight worked on my ANS 700 power supply. It had a bunch of failed components. He has a ANS 500 PS of mine he's working on and hopefully he can get it working. I recapped it but it's dead as a doornail.
