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...

My first unsuccessful and naive attempt at thwarting the copy protection is to zero in on the PIRATED subroutine of CODE1, letting the first LINK instruction happen, and then swap in whatever was happening in the next two lines with an UNLINK (why not cancel the stack allocation that was...

I finally have time to resume working on this. I'll have so many questions. The only direct hands-on experience I have with assembly language is with a 6502 last year, when I made a silly little game on a breadboard 6502 kit computer (from Ben Eater, who made a great youtube series that...

I kinda understand where you're coming from. PC users had, right from 1987, the option of playing back real MIDI file through an adlib sound card, arguably the first hardware sound card worthy of mention which used Yamaha OPL chips. Even though it sounded like a joke for professional synthetizer...

No, Studio Session uses another proprietary format. Where a MIDI file played on synthetizers would typically call upon hardware to get to sampled instruments (often in ROM chips), Studio Session has a single freewave tone for each instrument saved on disk as an audio file, played back at various...

I wrote you on facebook in the Apple Enthusiast group, but I'll repost here for the sake of discussion here: You can't output MIDI from this. I always ranked the various very early music notation software in terms of capability in my mind in this way: Concertware: uses the 4-tone synthetizer...

Runs fine on my Mac Plus

Insanely gruz (aka killgruz) has put out another video showcasing his newly made app in time for Halloween. He can definitely produce 68k native applications, but he decided making this as a self-running hypercard stack. It's a little silly Halloween thing, which you can find out about in the...

Wow, that is a few orders of magnitude above having to use Macsbug or TMON from inside.

I can't find that string in CODE1 but I could find it in CODE3. I swapped it only there, using ResEdit (my Resorcerer skills aren't high enough to do it with that). It seems to work fine with just CODE3 modified, is that expected?

I've tried patching a duplicate of Winter Games with your tool and I got this:

I've started to doodle around with the excellent side tools that are meant to be used in conjunction with mini-vMac, which I've criminally neglected for all of these years. https://www.gryphel.com/c/minivmac/extras/clipout/ Anyone familiar with using this particular Clipout program? I've...

Well done Zydeco. I haven't forgotten about this thread even though I have been neglecting this forum for a while. It's currently a wild ride teaching remotely in this semester.  I'll have to absorb as much knowledge as I can so I can apply it to Déjà Vu from rubicon soft.

Livin' the dream man! Do you plan to make fresh MIDI music as well with a modern DAW?

C5 and C9!

An assignment I had to do for our "computers" class when I was in 9th grade (3rd year secondary school over here in Quebec) was: make 1 logo writer game. I made 3, with a title screen menu. One was an adventure-multiple choice game with graphic screens + text, another was a gambling sort of game...

I think I might have tried this once back in the day. Probably during the time when my older brother was in a special computer-infused primary school class (years 5 and 6) where they had 2-3 macs inside the class and had special projects regularly. They could borrow some of the softwares and it...

I recently used buyee to get a Roland SC-88ST from Yahoo Auctions. The removal of any communication hassle with the seller is a must if you don't know japanese, all for a small fee of a few hundred yens (worth it).

I got the cheapo USB cable on FB marketplace, the one with 1 USB leading to a tear shaped black box with a white musical note printed on it and 2 midi cables (in and out). It must have a shoddy design because it didn't allow everything I wanted. It's the knockoff model you can see everywhere on...

Thanks, but I'm good messing around with my 486 or inside LMMS on my modern windows machines. Using concertware or cubase on the ol' mac is purely optional for me. I can wait.
