    Welcome and that's awesome that you were the developer of this! Did you work on any other Mac games?

    New game released: Blokz RAVE

    Nice work - very polished! I played it in SheepShaver and got around 30 FPS. Will fire it up on my MDD next. My only suggestion would be to add the ability to customize the keys.

    Reverse Engineer the PowerKey by Sophisticated Circuits?

    Ok, it must be under the sticker because I looked under the rubber pads and there was nothing. Thanks!

    Reverse Engineer the PowerKey by Sophisticated Circuits?

    Did you ever end up taking this apart? If so, is there a way to do it without breaking it? I recently picked one up from ePay and all seemed to be going well until it started powering the computer on all by itself. I'm guessing it's got some caps that need to be replaced but there doesn't...

    Correct.

    That's the hope! 🤞 It depends on what happens to the ownership of Hermes II...

    Hermes BBS install

    I just ran v3.1.1 on my Iici with System 7.5.5 for the month of March without any crashes or freeze-ups whatsoever. I was pleasantly surprised with how stable it was!

    Hermes BBS install

    Great news - we have a working serial number for Hermes II v3.1.1! We got the master Mac cracker, Sidd Hartha, together with the original programmer of Hermes and master or encryption, Will Price. With the blessing of the current owner of Hermes II, the original source code was provided to...

    Don't Mess With Old Externals in Hermes II 3.5.11!

    Don't feel bad - he ghosted me about a year ago, probably because I was asking too many questions. :oops: However, I've been in contact with the original creator of Hermes, Will Price, and he seems interested in getting back into the swing of things - stay tuned... That's fantastic that...

    Hermes BBS install

    Whoops - sorry I missed the part where you already contacted him. And one of those attempts this AM was me accidentally typing in #1 by force of habit! :oops: I've played around with Public Address a little bit, but didn't find very many door games for it. I've got v0.9.10.5 of it in the...

    Hermes BBS install

    Yeah, unless it's one of us, nobody is gonna do it. There's even less interest in Hermes II now than there was when you were still running your old BBS. And even if someone did come up with some new Python externals, then the existing non-Python doors would probably stop working...

    Hermes BBS install

    I'd contact the guy who runs ftelnet, Rick Parrish, via the contact tab at the top of the ftelnet home page. I think I had to do the same thing since I run a nonstandard telnet port. You should also register your BBS on the Telnet BBS Guide as they'll provide a direct telnet link to your BBS...

    Apple Macintosh II High Resolution Video Card Memory Upgrade and Recap

    I tried it on both the 13" display and VGA monitor with adapter without any luck. I tried reseating the IC's without any change. Nubus pin connectors look good, and no obvious damage to the traces but there is a fair amount of cap leakage where you had it too, so I'll replace those and see...

    Apple Macintosh II High Resolution Video Card Memory Upgrade and Recap

    Just picked up one of these video cards and it's not working with my Iici. Does it require a driver for System 7.5.5 or is it DOA?

    Hermes BBS install

    Another option to get more door games for the latest version of Hermes II would be for someone to add the ability to use outbound RLOGIN connections from Hermes II. There are a bunch of door game servers out there, like Gold Mine, in which you connect from the BBS to the game server. You can...

    LC III - Mostly dead.

    Nice job! Love the LC III - I threw a Quadra 605 logic board with a 40 MHz 68040 in mine and it hums along nicely. And with a wifi BlueSCSI, you don't need to fill the PDS slot with an Ethernet card. I've got a IIe card mine.

    From the ftelnet website: "Just head on over to the embed wizard and answer a few questions, then paste the javascript snippet onto your page, and you're done." And you can make the window bigger for your old eyes. 🤓 Check out this one for my Apple II BBS. There are some modern Mac ANSI drawing...

    Hermes BBS install

    Crack registration codes for door games - he already did that for BlackJack Pro and Slycrel. A lot of people don't even know what a telnet client is. The ftelnet client can be "built in" to your webpage so users can skip the step of installing a telnet client on their computer or launching...

    Hermes BBS install

    These all have been tested and will not work with any version above v3.5. And please let me know if you find any other archives of doors! I remember seeing mention of an adventure game called "Cries in the Dark" but have not come across it yet. I know a guy who can do that too, but as far as...
