    ok, "tutor me to bypass bad sector copy protection" challenge

    It's been merged into the development snapshot now, and is available in the alpha branch of the variations service .  :)   Not me, but I'd be very interested to watch this if you find it!

    ok, "tutor me to bypass bad sector copy protection" challenge

    I started by comparing a disassembly trace from MAME (using the trace command in the debugger) with one Mini vMac (compiled with WantDisasm, and modified to log every instruction), since I had tried Winter Games on MAME some years ago and knew it worked there. I made this python...

    Indeed, I've already emailed it to the author.

    ok, "tutor me to bypass bad sector copy protection" challenge

    I couldn't let it go either  :) When Wintergames inserts its VBL task into the queue directly, bypassing _VInstall, it breaks the queue: On a real mac, the queue would have a task installed by the floppy disk driver to measure the speed, but the replacement driver in Mini vMac doesn't...

    Write HFS on Snow Leopard with FuseHFS

    Hello, I've been out for a while, but I just updated the plugin a bit and called it 0.1.2, but I can't change the first post, so I've put up a little webpage: http://namedfork.net/fusehfs, it would be nice if an admin could change the download link to that on the first post. I have only tested...

    Mini vMac for Android

    I'll look into the screen issues when I get some time, I haven't touched the code in quite a while. Also, there is no speed toggle yet (it runs at 1x), I'll add one in the future, I suppose 800MHz and faster phones can cope with the faster speeds.

    Write HFS on Snow Leopard with FuseHFS

    Actually, I wrote a library and FUSE module with read-only MFS access, but I haven't packaged it as a filesystem module for Mac OS X yet, I didn't know MFSLives had stopped working. I just wrote the library so that the iPhone port of Mini vMac could find apps in disk images and show an...

    Write HFS on Snow Leopard with FuseHFS

    I started this quite some time ago, then ran into problems and let it rot for some months, but I now have a usable version. FuseHFS is a MacFUSE filesystem that provides write support for HFS disks. I haven't tried it with real media, but you can create HFS disk images, mount them, and copy...

    Mini vMac for Android

    As some of you may have heard on IRC, I started to port Mini vMac to Android. Since I don't have an android device, I have only been able to test on the emulator, and I wanted to get some feedback before making a final release. So if anyone has an Android device, feel free to try it and post...

    snd resource/file converter?

    It exists. It's SoundApp

    Changing "Welcome to Macintosh"

    There was a DSAT editor called Errditor, but I can't seem to find the MacFormat CD with it. It let you edit the text and icons from DSAT resources (Welcome to Macintosh, System Errors, Insert Disk, etc)

    Mini vMac for iPhone

    I'm running 2.2.1 too, so it can't be that. Just hope it solves itself, like mactarkus. You can try uninstalling and then installing again, so all the files get deleted before they are reinstalled.

    Which version of the Mac OS is your favourite

    I'd say leopard, but my favourite of the classics is System 7

    Mini vMac for iPhone

    I've never seen any app do that, it sounds like the problem is happening before the app is launched. What version of iPhone OS are you running?

    Mini vMac for iPhone

    I have thought about integrating emulation of different machines, maybe building the different emulation engines as dynamic libraries and loading one at runtime depending on the settings, but I won't bee looking into it until february, after my exams. Also, the best place for images is...

    Mini vMac for iPhone

    It has two display modes that can be toggled by tapping the screen with two fingers: one will scale the compact mac's screen to the iPhone's 480x320, so you can see the whole thing, and the other will show real pixels and scroll when you touch the edges. It is explained on mini vMac's page...

    Mini vMac for iPhone

    If you copied it with SSH as root, you'll have to change the owner to "mobile" (and permissions to 644 if it still doesn't work)

    Mini vMac for iPhone

    It does not comply with the App Store agreement in several ways. It uses private/undocumented frameworks (for drawing video, it's the only way to get decent speed) It reads/writes out of the application sandbox (this could be changed by implementing a way to send/receive files within the app)...

    Mini vMac for iPhone

    What do you mean by SDK Apps not supporting it? The battery life shouldn't be affected unless you install programs that run in the background, like Scrobbled or MxTube. Also, 2.2 will be out soon and is predicted to be jailbreakable, I hope it doesn't break app compatibility too much. Oh, and...

    Mini vMac for iPhone

    I just deemed my port of Mini vMac to the iPhone worthy of releasing, so if anyone has a 2.x Jailbroken iPhone and wants to try it, you can post your opinions here. To install it, add apt.namedfork.net/iphone to your Cydia repositories and it will show up. You can also see the info page at...
