Running it on MacOS 9, I found two bugs related to the Canvas and Timer code. Should be fixed now.

Prototype 1 is here! Sorry for the delay – I wanted to make sure it's at least somewhat usable before releasing it. In addition to the runtime itself, it comes with three example scripts you can use and edit with SimpleText. Launch the RetroScript app then select a script to run it. Please...

Great to see interest! I've managed to get it running on a PB1400 and might actually release a prototype later today / tomorrow. To clear things up and to answer a few questions: Maybe I've worded the initial post badly: the purpose of this is not to create a rapid development environment –...

Not familiar with HyperCard – but I do know it (a) didn't support a lot - including color graphics - without extensions (b) the syntax of HyperTalk(?) is extremely unique, which might be off-putting to some (including myself, to be honest) (c) it was more like a database with scripting rather...

Glad to hear! Great question - I know that duktape is designed/can be configured to run on very low end systems / microcontrollers, I guess it would be dependent on the overhead of my code. I'm no C++ expert so initially it might be extremely slow before someone optimizes it. --- A few more...

Had this idea for a while so over this weekend I've managed to write a quick-and-dirty proof of concept for it - but I want to make sure that there is at least some interest in either helping me develop this or developing apps using this – or if you think my programming privileges should be...

Oh my god, thank you so much Alex! It helped me a lot - and I must apologize for the late reply - I was waiting for new capacitors to show up before checking back here (I got this, by the way) Since it's my first ever try doing soldering, the first attempt resulted in the "Sad Mac tune"...

That's what I feared :( I've seen some posts about this part of the board especially being prone to break - and the caps looks bulgy.. Don't know much about caps or replacing them so I think I will need to pay someone to do this for me :) (any suggestions?)

Hi everyone, I recently got a Color Classic and I'm trying to get it to work properly - the first step was to let it sit plugged in for about two-three days before it would even try to boot up.. then I installed a SCSI2SD and got 7.6 installed on it. The problem is - it is crashing a lot. When...

Hi everyone, As probably most of you know, Wallstreet G3 screen hinges have the tendency to.. well, give up. I've just got a Wallstreet and I would like to know how I can delay this as much as I can. Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks!

Found this - has screenshots and all. (Seems to be the UK version though, has £ signs all over it) I've been seeing a lot of fully packaged Performas on eBay lately, maybe one of them might have them (if you are willing to pay $300-400 for a Performa though :P)

This is magnificent! Can't wait to take a look once I learn more! (MacHub, especially, sounds really interesting) I just bought it :p  I also bought the Toolbox Essentials and several others, which should be interesting.. It's a shame this died out, looks really promising :(  I think someone...

Hi everyone, I'm trying to learn Toolbox programming (oh how I miss Cocoa already, not going to lie) so I was thinking about setting up a Wiki for Toolbox and Carbon programming in C/C++ so I can document what I learn and people can add what they know to it. The reason for this is: Apple...

Speaking of moving to a Pismo, it appears that my Pismo doesn't like the SSD I've used in the Wallstreet (holding Alt shows the HDD as "Macintosh HD" but I get the "floppy drive with question mark icon" when I try to boot off it) does anyone know how to fix this?

Ugh. You've just confirmed everything I feared.. I've checked both websites, they were both out of stock - and yeah, expensive! Bookyard sells one hinge for $15 while PBM sells screens starting at $35 going up to $60! There are machines cheaper than that on eBay hahah I could just buy another...
