posting to compare notes later, I also have issues with my CCII AB.

It still freezes if I go back to the boot mode menu. I assume it means I'll have to do the same song and dance with the manual edition of the config file every time I want to switch modes, which makes it a much higher pain than the feature leads you to believe.

Has anyone been having problems with their HD20 mode on their floppyemu since the December firmware patches? There was one around Dec 2nd, and another on Dec 21st: https://www.bigmessowires.com/floppy-emu/#firmware Whenever I attempted to switch out 3.5 disk emulation mode to HD20, I got a...

I bought one of those in 2019. I spent a whole lot of time for what turned out to be a very minor issue. Long story short, the movement sensing is built on sending infrared LED lights across a rotary encoder that involves a plastic film sliding on another film, and they get microscratches that...

I'm based in Canada and sending non-paper correspondance across to the US has shot up in price and has to be sent as a package now since early 2021. Anyone in Canada with an AppleSauce?

I'm extremely grateful for this and have tried it out this morning. This marks the end of a very long journey of mine which started in 2004 when the nostalgia bug hit me hard and I fired up the old family mac plus and discovered Mac emulation. My Winter Games disk was lost and I wanted to try it...

It is entirely possible if you're willing to code in THINK C or equivalent. I have done it in the past. A Mac Classic was used to send a data signal to an electric circuit, specifically to a relay. The circuit then activated a nail shooter (using a coil). Fun student project time.

Did you code a heinous disk copy protection with self-modifying code?

My dad is a boomer and the Mac Plus was his daily driver for years so it's technically correct. However, I also grew up with it and you can't classify me exactly between X and millenial so take that as you will.

It looks incredible. I'll put this in my real machines because it'll be more than worthy! And I'm truly sorry to hear about your mother and the hard past year your family has had. You have my condolences.

That would be the deep end for me, but it's a very, very cool and dangerous idea. It just don't fit in a 800kb disk though, I had less than 50kb free on my disk here.

Here's the video about it: thanks again everyone, it would have been 5x more painful without your help to get to the finish line.

Found it! FillRect works again (magically, can't explain it) My anti-pop code had an offset written like 36/4, which puts it at an odd number of characters offset (9), changing it to 32/4 made it even again, satisfying the alignment when playing the sound data.

Nope, it's the curse that keeps on giving. I'm still on the version that worked before I went to bed, before I fiddle with FillRect again. I'm trying to boot it with a 800kb dsk under mini-vMac, no issues with System 6.0.3. On a hardware mac though, the same .dsk with FloppyEmu (or copied on a...

I've tried and failed over a hundred combinations with small tweaks. I'm willing to try (retry?) yours for science's sake and post the result. It's hard to find the motivation to document every attempt when fatigue enters play after hours. Edit: I have to say, that's a fine piece of code there

I got it. Had to do the A5 fetching and setting Had to receive the quickdraw globals in a custom made struct as per that last article so I could get to the baseAddr of the screenBits. Doing InitWindows to display my own plainDBox white featureless window was a no-no because it requires...

InitGraf alone:

Yes, I tried the trio of InitGraf, InitWindows and doing a NewWindow, got the coprocessor error. I just tried blanking out the screen 1 char at a time and I'm going sideways now:

On a hunch, I decided to comment out all the DrawPicture calls and kept only the white pattern FillRect and I got this: HMMMM

One of the things I explored is: should I initialize a window before drawing to it in the INIT? But I get messages like these (coprocessor not installed... ??)
