There are, but even just two player games over ARA were very laggy. Classic Marathon uses a ring topology, so every packet has to get sent from player to player. The latency is the sum of the point to point latency from each player to player--it would quickly become unplayable over the internet...

Sadly, Marathon can only be played online on modern computers. It just missed the beginning of online play in 90s shooters.

Here's the mod to get the QS CPUs to work in older models, from the archive: https://web.archive.org/web/20071211003550/http://homepage.mac.com/josephk/G4_mod.html Look for the 12V connector section

QS provides 12V to one of the three screws(!) on the processor card. So you would need to supply that for it to work in a DA.

Thanks for the mention of Aleph One on your site. Just a note: bungie.org is not run by Bungie! They're fine with the serial number being posted, as they have released all of the trilogy to play gratis, but they did not post it. Bungie's site is bungie.net

I re-capped a 475 and it required a patch to one of the SCSI data lines to get the internal 50 pin SCSI working. The whole back side of the board has this weird white particulate sediment or like stress pattern from flexing, I can't tell what it is. Hard to know what happened to the thing. It's...

Games in particular have lots of issues in classic mode, yes. As do USB 2 cards in OS 9.

Do other SCSI devices work internally? I also had to repair one of the data lines to get my internal 50-pin working on the 475.

Just press command Q when it gets there. It’ll complain and offer to skip registration so you can finish setting up an account.

I had a little trouble this week with a ZuluSCSI and a 475. The TERM dip switch was set, but the log showed it wasn’t activated. Toggling it off / back on activated termination and the 475 was able to recognize it.

The drives will "autodetect" if set to cable select, but that depends on the cable supporting CS. It's safest to set master/slave with the jumpers on each drive (including the optical, if really are installing a third drive)

Modem and AirPort card slot.

What I did was set up an AP with a bridge on one of the raspberry pis. Then I can use an ssh shortcut on my phone to turn on the retro WiFi when I am using a clamshell or tibook; and another to turn it back off when I am done. I should really write up a guide on how I set it up. They can even...

It does and used to work in Linux with soft modded drivers there. I was just not aware of any Mac OS X softmod.

Is there a soft mod for Mac OS X? I have a 9800 SE here that I recall worked when soft modded in Windows. Could put that in my G5 for no good reason :)

We used to play Spectre on the Mac Plus networked

My clamshells have msata to ide adapters. You can find used msata drives for cheap and the clamshells have new enough IDE controllers that they work fine.

This helped me get my IIx to soft power on: https://www.downtowndougbrown.com/2015/03/explanation-of-the-macintosh-iiiix-power-onoff-circuit/

I’m talking about render complexity in the original levels. Marathon has to do more work, so properly optimized it will slot in your list a bit slower than Doom should.

Marathon is more complex than Doom :)
