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.

nice find! I was searching for those in the last weeks in reverb.com and could only find $40+ ones with another $40+ in shipping. Who knows how much more gouge I would have gotten since it would have to cross the border. I'll just casually wait to meet my father, hehe.

I had a Gravis Gamepad for my Pentium PC and the stick was atrocious. The main problem with this gamepad, under certain games, is that you can't easily and reliably go to purely horizontal or vertical directions. So many badly designed gamepads have that problem and it's very showstopping for...

I'm in the same boat. I have both a Roland MT-32 and a Roland SC-88ST (same as yours, but no screen and only a volume knob + sc-55 map button). If it's anything like vintage PCs, connecting to a serial port would allow you to use it in UART (aka dumb) mode. For intelligent  mode, you'd need an...

This is where it breaks. I was caught in a longish loop before getting to that point, I got impatient and just jumped away from a branch instruction to get it over with, and it quickly got to this:

Oh my, what do we have here? I'm just STEPing until it crashes. I've gone through a few loops, a _TEInit, a _FlushEvents. I went through CODE001+(relative address) for a spell, and now I've reached into this very....very...interesting code block:

I can get TMON going with this without it exploding into a ragequit. I set up an interrupt with the _InitGraf trap. And now, an expert with great debugging strategies should swoop in...

YES! The intent of my website has finally paid off. 

I often get them confused. DiskDup 1.2.3+ Pro does not copy the game, there's an error during the reading phase as there's probably a bad sector. The duplicate I successfully made, which ran flawlessly as well as the original, was with Copy II Mac 5.4. Maybe someone can crack this with Macsbug...

I've NEVER EVER seen "Déjà Vu", the tile memory game from Rubicon Publishing, anywhere online since I started looking in the late 90's for old Mac software. It seems to be a forgotten title. No acknowledgment, no discussion, no download. This is not the Icom Simulations adventure game with the...

Here you go if you want to download it https://drive.google.com/file/d/1-I9SGA7VsFwsOHTijXfzAmz7w5qZL34l/view?usp=sharing I'm gonna try and add it to Mac Garden

PopupFuncs is the correct name. I have no recollection where I got it, but I have a vivid memory of having installed it a few weeks/months after I started using THINK C for my millions of little projects back in 2004-5. Perhaps I got it from the hotline server that was up back then...

You use HLock to lock the handle managing your pointer, so you can't lose access to it. You HUnlock it after.  Your question was spot on, and highlights the cost (small) of using this strategy in memory management.  If I recall correctly, the most frequent use of those pairs of traps I did...

I checked out my modern day options too, on the Windows side and it seems there's a really nifty web solution for this. BatchPhoto Espresso. PICT is right there in the first choices in the pulldown menu!  my steps were: 1) in Gimp, change the image to indexed color, 1-bit black and white...

Would love it if you found Studio Session song files (or from other similar composition software like concertware), or VideoWorks animations, hypercard stacks. Anything that's personal creativity is always fun to discover.
