Oops uploaded the wrong version above - will fix shortly, if a mod stumbles on this please delete my most recent post & attachment ….

I will make the key choices customizable shortly … meanwhile this version should I think fix the dumb graphics artifacts I introduced by being lazy: please let me know if it doesn’t.

@BadGoldEagle it will take me a little time probably to add adjustable keyboard shortcuts - meantime is there a particular shortcut you prefer? I can hard code it any way you like for now. Call it a custom job. :)

Great feedback thank you! I will figure out what’s going on here.

Great, thanks @MindWalker - that’s what I expected once I realized I hard coded 8 bit mode, oops. Already have a fix, will share here soon.

Awesome feedback thanks, clearly I have some debugging to do …. @MindWalker I think I know what’s causing that, double checking are you running with 256 colors by chance? I just realized I accidentally hardcoded my offscreen pixmap that saves the “underneath” pixels to a fixed 8 bits, ooops...

I would enjoy trying to make that happen, I am certain it’s possible, and will commit to do it quickly if someone would ship me a loaner AAK in Chicago USA for prompt return once this is done. :)

I don’t have an SE, does it have a removable 1/2 AA battery like an SE/30? If so, as a I have posted elsewhere … buy an appropriate-diameter piece of doweling from your local hardware store. Have them cut it for you to the appropriate length so it is the size and shape of the battery, with a...

I like this idea (particularly the new iOS type thing). Oddly I mainly run vintage Mac stuff in Mini vMac on my iPad so this is especially fitting :) Though it is in conflict with my thinking that this be a super tiny thing that should even work under System 5-6, in which case I will have it...

I don’t know anything about this benchmarking tool but I can guess. CopyBits is indeed the standard QuickDraw bit blitting operation. My guess is that “aligned” references whether the bitmap it’s copying is long-word-aligned (the fastest case, because then one can just repeat a single...

You have to reinstall the OS.

@CC_333 thanks much for your interest in Exposé. I really, really hope to have time to get back to that soon. That is a tricky one and I ran into some bugs with a couple of apps that didn’t like some of my speed optimizations, fell down a rabbit hole trying to fix it, then moved house and had...

First prototype, try this and I’ll add some detail later (also make some fixes and speed up load/draw time): Key shortcuts are hardcoded for now: cmd-shift-minus and cmd-shift-plus (=). Will make that configurable soon. Tested under 7.5.5 on Mini vMac emulating a Mac II but … in the interest...

I thought this sounded like a fun idea so am working on building it, hope to have a prototype by the weekend. Which volume do you want to control though? There are a few I think under 7.5.5 for example: system alert volume (beeps) and main output device volume are controlled separately in the...

WindowMenu is a terrific control panel + extension (INIT) pair to allow you to pop up a menu allowing you to select any of the current application’s windows to bring to the front by holding down one or more modifier keys and clicking anywhere on the screen. I like it better than the various...

Nice tips. This is properly called a “switch launch”, I believe.

MacinTalk 1.0 is available at one of the links on this page I believe. https://macgui.com/downloads/?mode=search&search_keywords=Macintalk

No already tried that - the Ticks lomem global is fine (if not it would be a much worse issue, since anything using _TickCount would be screwy), the issue is somewhere in the VIA emulation I expect.

Mini vMac for iPad is highly awesome - I wonder if this person Jesus Alvarez is on these forums? https://namedfork.net/minivmac/ He’s got some nifty stuff on his website. It does seem to require doing a custom build on xCode, which takes like 10 minutes though the initial setup is slightly...
