I'm surprised no one made a thread about this huge bit of mac gaming news. John Calhoun (of Soft Dorothy fame, Glider, the original Glypha I, II and III, etc.) released on May 15 a modern-day version of Glypha called Glypha: Vintage. Runs on Windows, Mac and Linux. Rather than just creating...

ha! It's already winnable with the keyboard - I did it back then around 1988-1989 during xmas eve while family was over! and can more or less redo it at will now. But only on beginner difficulty. I haven't grinded the XP needed for the higher levels yet, but those are my next attempts.

The USBV4C project, which launched last year, is a neat raspberry pi hat that allows modular protocol cards that talk to your vintage computer and sends it modern input controller signals processed right for your old machines. Most modern USB input devices (mice, keyboard) and a few popular...

Today, I released a 2nd cursed boot disk. watch what happens - if you want to try what I coded as the INIT that I used, go here: https://macintoshgarden.org/apps/init-fakes-a-ms-dos-33-startup

This is a magical thread. The popping sound solve is pure joy. Do you mind if your solution is heavily inspired from and adapted?

posting to compare notes later, I also have issues with my CCII AB.

It still freezes if I go back to the boot mode menu. I assume it means I'll have to do the same song and dance with the manual edition of the config file every time I want to switch modes, which makes it a much higher pain than the feature leads you to believe.

Has anyone been having problems with their HD20 mode on their floppyemu since the December firmware patches? There was one around Dec 2nd, and another on Dec 21st: https://www.bigmessowires.com/floppy-emu/#firmware Whenever I attempted to switch out 3.5 disk emulation mode to HD20, I got a...

I bought one of those in 2019. I spent a whole lot of time for what turned out to be a very minor issue. Long story short, the movement sensing is built on sending infrared LED lights across a rotary encoder that involves a plastic film sliding on another film, and they get microscratches that...

I'm based in Canada and sending non-paper correspondance across to the US has shot up in price and has to be sent as a package now since early 2021. Anyone in Canada with an AppleSauce?

I'm extremely grateful for this and have tried it out this morning. This marks the end of a very long journey of mine which started in 2004 when the nostalgia bug hit me hard and I fired up the old family mac plus and discovered Mac emulation. My Winter Games disk was lost and I wanted to try it...

It is entirely possible if you're willing to code in THINK C or equivalent. I have done it in the past. A Mac Classic was used to send a data signal to an electric circuit, specifically to a relay. The circuit then activated a nail shooter (using a coil). Fun student project time.

Did you code a heinous disk copy protection with self-modifying code?

My dad is a boomer and the Mac Plus was his daily driver for years so it's technically correct. However, I also grew up with it and you can't classify me exactly between X and millenial so take that as you will.

It looks incredible. I'll put this in my real machines because it'll be more than worthy! And I'm truly sorry to hear about your mother and the hard past year your family has had. You have my condolences.

That would be the deep end for me, but it's a very, very cool and dangerous idea. It just don't fit in a 800kb disk though, I had less than 50kb free on my disk here.

Here's the video about it: thanks again everyone, it would have been 5x more painful without your help to get to the finish line.

Found it! FillRect works again (magically, can't explain it) My anti-pop code had an offset written like 36/4, which puts it at an odd number of characters offset (9), changing it to 32/4 made it even again, satisfying the alignment when playing the sound data.

Nope, it's the curse that keeps on giving. I'm still on the version that worked before I went to bed, before I fiddle with FillRect again. I'm trying to boot it with a 800kb dsk under mini-vMac, no issues with System 6.0.3. On a hardware mac though, the same .dsk with FloppyEmu (or copied on a...

I've tried and failed over a hundred combinations with small tweaks. I'm willing to try (retry?) yours for science's sake and post the result. It's hard to find the motivation to document every attempt when fatigue enters play after hours. Edit: I have to say, that's a fine piece of code there
