    Backporting HFS+ to Mac OS 8.0 and earlier

    Hi! Sorry, none just yet. If you're still interested, I can send you a few pre-built System files to try out? Might take me a week or so.

    Backporting HFS+ to Mac OS 8.0 and earlier

    Yes, this will fail on 68k machines except the Quadra 900 (and possibly similar Quadras). I apologise for not making this clearer -- I documented it poorly, then forgot about it myself. The reason is that 8.1 introduces a required patch via the "gusd/gtbl/gpch" mechanism. I have narrowed down...

    Backporting HFS+ to Mac OS 8.0 and earlier

    Ship your Cube to me and I'll sort it out. ;) You can use one of the whole bootable .dsk files from TestImages.tmp, and mount it using Disk Copy (I think -- perhaps the type/creator needs to be set). The .rdump files store resource fork data (in a format compatible with Apple's Rez utility)...

    Backporting HFS+ to Mac OS 8.0 and earlier

    Hi all, I have had some success with adding HFS+ support to previously unsupported System versions. Briefly, Mac OS 7.6 and 8.0 on PowerPC work well, and I have managed to get 68k versions working with a rather inelegant hack. Here is a longer writeup...

    Progress on our new Mac App Compatibility Environment

    Anywhere that an interested hacker might browse the source? This is my second attempt at wrapping System 7 disk images around a source code tree. I would be very interested in targeting MACE or AMS as well as the current crop of hardware emulators. https://github.com/elliotnunn/BuildCubeE/

    PowerExpress/PowerMac 9700 Prototype

    Hi captainserial! This is the first time I’ve chanced upon an OldWorld Mac showing a NanoKernel v2 termination log. It sure looks out of place! Would you mind if I snagged a copy of the System file on this machine? I suspect it might be a bit of an oddball. Here’s my NK...

    Picking apart the NewWorld ROM

    The Classic Environment abstracts OS 9 way away from the hardware, so no joy there. Nanopico (of the MacOS9Lives forum) and I have been putting our heads together and working out the NewWorld boot process. Getting the PCI bridge and interrupt controller working would be the first steps, and then...

    Cheers! Anyone have any experience hacking on 4 MB Power Mac ROMs?

    Picking apart the NewWorld ROM

    Hi folks, This post might meander a bit, because I'm sleepy, so I do apologise. I really wanted to post this now that I've had some success. I have written a Python script to take apart and put back together a Mac OS ROM file (a NewWorld Toolbox image -- tbxi). Just this evening I've gotten my...
