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...

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?
