As soon as I figure out how to get Retro68 going on my win11 machine, I'm happy to provide more useful information. I promise I'm not expecting this to be a fully functional product. I know this stage of development very well, most of my projects are right in that level.

this is a direct screenshot from my Mac Plus:

on a whim, I tried it under mini-vMac and no issue about reading other mod files renamed as song.mod! (my physical Mac Plus has 4Mb btw)

That feeling of being outside, looking in? Check. That feeling that all guides online become obsolete after a year but are still up 5 years after their time? Check. I'm not particularly fond of doing the work to change compiling tools. More power to those who thrive on it and magically...

I used a Mac Plus, running 6.0.8. I tried to install Retro68 on my modern win11 PC inside a WSL window, followed a 2021 installation guide and I get show stopping errors during the process. I don't have a shred of Linux competence in my bones, so any small sidestep outside of an ELI5 guide is...

The project looks really neat! You've even made me attempt to install Retro68 after resisting it for several eternities, just because I want to check out the current state of your app! I tried playing a nirvana.mod renamed to song.mod, but even at 75kb, it complained it didn't have enough...

Update a year later: I have a robust standard midi file player that can load type 0 and type 1. Here's an example of 'human2.mid' a type 0 music file (from warcraft 1) My strategy was to parse the file first to detect the overall structure of all the different tracks of the MIDI file. Detect...

I received my 2 cables in the mail: Here's how the continuity works out between the 2 ends of that 2 cable chain: Again, doesn't look perfect! I went ahead and tried it: Mac side: There's not much to do but to launch the game, select "Mac to PC" in the Communications menu PC side: this...

thanks for the suggestion, I wasn't aware of it, and it should be easier to pick up with my son as well (aka not have to read 40 pages in the manual) thanks for that. I think I'll do a 2-prong approach. Irreversibly modify the badly wired cable I have according to your notes, but also figure...

Last year, I bought the boxed game of Falcon F-16. In the supplemental documentation added with v2.0, we can see this paragraph: Goal: serial link multiplayer game between a vintage Mac and vintage PC using a null-modem link between the two! Mac side: Falcon F-16 v2.0 (the update that...

"Screen Shaver" Concept and art by Japhy Riddle C programming from me, Mu0n aka 1bitfeverdreams aka Michael Juneau Very elegant concept where a razor will "shave" on a new classic b&w pattern on screen until it's filled, then it starts over again. Once I learned and saw Japhy's mock up...

Thank you! If you think it can help the readme section of the project's GitHub page, I'd be happy to have my video linked from it as a sort of complementary guide to using and building the unit. I tried checking my Super Studio manual, as well as the still running madcapps website that hosts...

I made a 23 minute video on building it and messing with it (mostly for Studio Session)

Attempts made Mac Plus: SoundEdit 1.0 crashes if I open it from my bluescsi system 6.0.8, but runs if I let it boot from these diskettes (finder 4.2), then you're left with 60kb free on disk unless I whip out a FloppyEMU or external disk drive SoundEdit 2.0.5 runs under System 6.0.8 no...

I'm happy to sell: 1x bare main PCB 1x front case plate PCB 1x back case plate PCB 1x pre-programmed pic12F1501 chip, which you'd then be able to remove from the Bom list you'd buy yourself. Keep in mind I'm in Canada and sending even a small box to the US is now salty.

Let's do a napkin economic analysis about this particular project. First of all, despite it being well known in the late 80's, it concerns mostly 68000 macs since other solutions started appearing around the time of the powerbooks, making it relatively niche. While the PCBs are cheap (around $6...

I tried my hand at building my own unit thanks to the great documentation from the github page. Happy to report: success.

thanks all, it seems to work taking 0 chances with: -using a MaxApplZone() at the start -using MoreMasters() for good measure (who knows how some .midi files go up in size and data content) -NewPtr and DisposePtr for those arrays in case a 2nd, 3rd, etc file is loaded up (so I'm currently...

MaxApplZone(); MoreMasters(); is a promising avenue being tested atm. edit - and using NewPtr for those dynamically allocated arrays instead of malloc and using HLock HUnlock on theBigList....
