Hello Guest! We're hosting a challenge to welcome vintage Intel macs to the MLA during the month of July! See this thread for more information. -
We've made some quality of life improvements to the Trading Post. More info here.

Nostalgia! It’s probably 25 years since I last played Marathon - now on emulated IIfx with 8•24GC.
The frame rate is better than I expected, especially considering the emulator is running in Chrome on an M1 Mac mini. Mouse movement is choppy, though, and feels overly accelerated.
And I definitely need to improve my gameplay!
There also seems to be a frame-rate cap of around 30 fps in the game, even though the emulator has enough headroom to run faster. Does anyone know whether this can be configured in the game?

New machine.... Again (Yes, I have serious issues)
My second Apple laptop; Introducing..... THE iBook G4!
This is the A1054 model; 12.1 inch screen, 1.2ghz CPU, 256mb built in RAM, and most importantly to me, a combo CD/DVD drive. It's slightly scratched, but with some cleaning it should look pretty good. The hard drive also functions, unlike the G4 PowerMac.....
The battery life is awful according to the seller, but with how laptops this age are, I'm not surprised. It'll gladly run off AC though.

Picked up a new-old-stock battery attachment for my CS 2200. Battery surprisingly still works great after a full charge/discharge/charge cycle. I think it's a really cute little accessory and fits so well with the design. I know the Canon branded one was like 1/5 the price but I wanted it to have the matching Apple one. I have no idea when I'd ever need to print on the go with my PowerBook G3 but hey I can do it in style now.
New Machine: Power Macintosh G4 Graphite
Came with a weird amount of RAM (64+128+256=448), sadly the 256 stick appears to be faulty. Case is also in horrid condition (broken foot and super dirty). Will begin some TLC shortly and begin investigating what'll be needed to test this thoroughly.
This is only my 3rd mac EVER

Does anyone else find cleaning Snow White case grooves both aggravating and oddly satisfying?
2/3 of the way done! Thank you Windex, Q-tips, old tooth brush and paper towels!

Attached: 1 image The Macintosh PowerBook DuoDock 200 was a portable battery-powered version of the DuoDock, with an inbuilt display, keyboard and pointing device, allowing it to function as a PowerBook in its own right while the PowerBook Duo that docked with it was out on the road.
The Apple HDI-30 cable is like a comically large serial cable connector.
Looking for input on this wiki page... https://68kmla.org/bb/threads/wiki-review-capacitor-replacement.52598/
this was fun.
i miss my tangerine ibook... sold it like a fool back in 2020
Good morning, fellow Macintosh enthusiasts! Let me tell you my story. I have a 200 MHz Power Macintosh 7300, and the original power supply failed. I'm replacing it with an ATX PC power supply, but without much success. Has anyone tried this method and managed to revive their old Macintosh? If anyone has solved this problem, please let me know how to proceed if you have an electrical schematic for adapting the ATX power supply. Thank you very much, and greetings from Lima, Peru.

A 2D animation that I made with Director 3.0:
i really wish there was a 3d printable ibook G3 clamshell optical drive bezel. especially if there would be versions of it that work on newer optical drives that aren't so picky.

Hello! I have been searching around for a hard drive image or really anything on A/UX 1.0. I saw that you may have had a disk with one (the one with the unmarked version number a while back. Can I ask if you have anything about that?
The one Mac in particular that I enjoy running at stock speed is the SE/30. Maintaining one running reliably is sufficient enough of a challenge.
