Thanks for the links @LazarusNine ! I will check what's on the CD, there may be some interesting stuff in there!

Thanks for the nice word @LazarusNine ! I have used quite some books but I did not come across this one. Is it available online? Do you have a link? I have mainly relied on the Inside Macintosh books. I started by following the programming tutorials from Joshua Stein. Then, I looked for as...

Thanks a lot @maxoakland ! As I said in my previous message, I plan to refactor the syntax so it better aligns with the syntax of the Toolbox and existing libraries. I hope to do that soon when I have a bit more time for it, and I will try to come up with some documentation as well.

Thanks for the tips! I will try that when I put the G4 back in the machine. @Big Ben what CPU do you have in your 9500? I have no problem using my Radeon 7000 with a G3 from Powerlogix. However, if I reset the PRAM with the Radeon 7000 in the mac, the screen won't switch on at reboot. I have to...

Coming back to this as the setup with my Cresendo G4 700 card and Sonnet SATA card has been working for some time until I zapped the PRAM of my PowerMac. I have no idea about what was in the PRAM that made it work but after trying to re-install everything from scratch several times, I noticed...

I had success installing A/UX 3.1.1 on my IIfx using an internal BlueSCSI v2 and an external CD 300 drive. I haven't tried with a virtual CD from the BlueSCSI. If you are using an external BlueSCSI, make sure that your internal SCSI chain is terminated. You could just attach an internal...

I have tested this on my 9500 and it has been working perfectly so far! Thank you so much @jmacz ! This 9500 has 1.5 GB of RAM and took forever to boot on 7.6.1. It was so long, I ended up using MacOS 9 instead. I am so happy to be back on System 7, which flies on that machine! @jmacz do you...

The 9600 doesn't have the A/V ports but it has 6 PCI connectors and with a card like a Pinnacle DC30, you could make your Mac a great machine for digitizing old VCR or analog camcorder tapes. I use my 9500 with such a card for that purpose and it works pretty well. Upgrading it with a G3 or G4...

In my town (in France), one can take whatever they want so there is always someone going there just to see if there is something to take. I don't go there often and there can be a few random PCs but I have never seen any Mac. Maybe they are being taken straight away :)

That's awesome @Mu0n ! When looking at your code, I realize that I should rethink my syntax. I am used to naming my function and variables in lower_case and instead, I should go for the camelCase syntax that is used in the entire Toolbox. That will look a lot cleaner.

I am mainly focusing on the graphics at the moment (I still have my mind in optimizing the frame rate) but sound is part of the plan. This project from @Mu0n seems quite advanced in term of sound. We may be able to merge efforts at some point.

I am making a game engine for our old B&W Macs. I have posted the full story at Tinker different as it was my main source of inspiration for coding, but I thought I would post about it here too. You can find the source code at https://gitlab.com/ftech31/classicsprite It is still a work in...

That is awesome! Great work and great video!

The 8600 is also a great machine for capturing and even editing old analog videos. It has A/V connectors in the back and if you attach a VCR or camcorder to it, you have a great machine for digitizing your old tapes. I do this on my 9500 (with a dedicated PCI card as it doesn't have the A/V...

Reviving this thread as I am discovering MacFlim. What an incredible piece of software! Well done @fstark! You rock! If there was a possibility to encode videos on the fly, along with something like a BlueSCSI (Raspberry Pi version) that would connect to the Internet, download and encode the...
