My father had this since 86 and it was in regular use for at least 3 years, then in semi-regular up to around 93. Then, it got stored, to be digged up as well as the family Mac Plus around 2004 when the vintage bug bit me. I operated it every 1-3 years until 2017 when it finally dawned on me I...

When his full video released, he added back some hard copies. I snagged on within 6 minutes of the video release. It's probably sold out again :( Hopefully this readjusts expectations for his next release when it happens. For everyone else, the game is freely downloadable on itch.io. I'm glad...

I got a credit mention inside his game, since he perused my website and got my disable menu + center the active 512x342 GrafPort on whatever screen you're using!

From youtuber gruz (aka insanely gruz aka killgruz) https://gruz.itch.io/flappymac runs fine in both emulation environment all the way down to a real Mac Plus.

If you want some code snippets here and there in C, I made a website eons ago (2004-2005), which I'll be adding to for the October retrochallenge: https://mu0n.github.io/ForayInto68k/index.html The Mac Plus was SPECIFICALLY my target environment as well.

It truly does, I keep one at all time in my main desk in the basement, besides my modern PC and my vintage IBM 486. My 4 year old loves to play Déjà Vu from Rubicon software (mostly on the Mac Plus), the memory tile matching game, not the ICOM visual adventure game. We love the sound clips it...

Again, I don't have the adapter, that image was taken off the net.

I've figured out (sometimes remembered) stuff:  -The color mode the Monitor is set to matters in terms of pixel depth and how much data is dedicated to it in System 7 when you attempt to do this direct data manipulation. Everything became easier when I set it to 1-bit B&W -I don't *need*...

Today, I can finally make the C-style manual copy work on both mini-vMac and a regular ol' hardware Mac Plus with satisfying fluidity - way bigger than I had with CopyBits. The GrafPort in BasII on my Win10 machine is stubborn and shows weird results and fills the top few lines with black...

Wait, don't these bitmaps work such as baseAddr points to the first int or long (however we want to parse it) associated with the top left area and progresses towards the bottom right in the normal English reading direction? Your code assumes the baseAddr is the very last one of the bitmap and...

edit - false alert

/* add left/32 and top*(512/32) */ register long *dest = ((long *) screenBits.baseAddr) + (dstRect.left >> 5) + (dstRect.top << 4); I'm getting crashes during the looping copy, as is standard C pointer fare :) I've tried long and hard and I can't wrap my mind around these...

Thanks for those tips. I more or less walked through the same topic about 15 years ago. Measuring ticks timings (with TickCount because I'm limiting myself to System 6) made this obvious because 2 CopyBits operations were ramping up in the 27 or so Ticks range (each 1/60th of a second). Taking...

Context: I'm trying to refresh a Mac Plus' whole screen 512x342 (for starters..., I will reduce that size going forward) by installing a VBL Task whose purpose is to CopyBits the contents of an offscreen bitmap to the screen bits of what is shown. Of course, the best way to do this is to limit...

I don't mean to be dense, I'm honestly curious, but first, here's where I'm coming from - 2 years ago, I noticed my best Mac Plus (platinum, 4 mb RAM) was no longer booting, so I recapped it and realized that the ROM was faulty, as I had another Mac Plus in working order, so a swap of the ROMs...

Things I had done after my post but before yours: -Make a BNDL resource with ID=128 -Transfer what I had in ICON to ICN# with ID=128 -Link the ICN# to the BNDL -Use a unique signature in the BNDL -Use the same signature in the whole resource file info, 'Creator' field -Check the 'Has...

I'd like for my built C application to have a custom icon polled from a resource file during the building step. I successfully did it some 15 years ago for a mock project I was doing, but I don't remember how I did it or what I'm missing. Here's what I'm using: 1) System 7.5.3 under Basilisk...

Phenomenal job! That's a lot of skills and equipment in many different areas to make this a reality. How do you find the emulation on a pi4? I notice the smoothness of the mouse cursor moving around is noticeably less than in real hardware. In many games, it's not a big issue, but for stuff...

I also have them, this is not about the adventure games from ICOM, I'll kindly redirect you to read the first post of this thread to see what this is about. 

Welp! Someone uploaded a cracked version in Mac Garden https://macintoshgarden.org/games/dejavu#comment-76349 The game of being the first to bring this to the world is done, but the fun of understanding how it was done is still on. Time to compare the apps side by side... That is, if I don't...
