I'm a bit late to the party, but so must a lot of you people as well, I'm guessing! There was a massive December 11th firmware update for the Mac side of the FloppyEmu project: https://www.bigmessowires.com/2023/12/11/floppy-emu-update-stuffit-file-support-cd-rom-and-scsi-image-support-more/...

Keeping up with this annual tradition, this is the 3rd entry, right in time for the end of #MARCHintosh 2024 2022 thread: https://tinkerdifferent.com/threads/i-made-my-own-cursed-init.1664/ 2023 thread: https://tinkerdifferent.com/threads/i-made-my-own-cursed-init-part-2.2517/

I have 3 MIDI producing "controller" "things" Mac SE/30 sending out MIDI data through a serial port, through an Anatek Pocket Mac box using stuff like Cubase WeeCee (486/pentium industrial compatible vintage PC) sending MIDI data through the regular pin12 of the game port Keytar from Xbox 360...

This is me jotting down notes in this forum thread because I don't want this info to live and die off in a discord server. Gear used: Mac SE/30 BlueSCSI v2 Pocket Mac adapter from Anatek (1in, 2 out, 1 mac serial bidirectional) Roland Canvas-88ST M-Audio ProKeys Sono 88 (not the flashiest...

I coded my own 40th birthday card for my Mac Plus in C - the goal is to make it work on a Mac 128 eventually! It is *NOT* easy to do after trying it out in emulation for a few hours last night. In terms of data, I'm only using a full screen PICT (so about 22kb) and my YT channel logo which has...

Perifractic (of RetroRecipes youtube channel) is about to release a video (on Dec 2nd or 3rd 2023) where he shows his experience with the F256K from Foenix Retro Systems. https://www.youtube.com/@RetroRecipes Combined with this showing, there's a $75 USD rebate for all purchases of that machine...

This is the fruits on my struggle with video making and/or live with a vintage comp feeding audio and video into my modern PC and trying to make my mic sound nice. In 4 increasingly difficult steps. No expensive hw faders/mixers, all controlled with the free Voicemeeter Banana. IF YOU FIND...

Investigating a static related behavior with my weeCee (tiny 486/pentium like PC based on the Vortex86DX system-on-module, I hand soldered it myself back in June 2021 and it's usually rock solid mostly under MSDOS): sometimes, they'll get under a mode where no matter what, there's some heavy...

I know most people around here know and love Macintosh Garden, which has been around for as long as I've unearthed my Mac Plus back in 2003 and started collecting a few more machines after that. It's mind boggling how organized it is, how special it is and how many people have been helped by it...

The about screen in Megaroids is TANTALIZING: This is a great promise to see the source code of a fluid, action oriented game, this can serve as a beacon of inspiration and teaching for would-be programmers of the platform. This in fact, was crucial for the developpers of "Continuum", another...

The other day, I was browsing Mac Garden and stumbled, as one does, upon an interesting 30th Anniversary font https://macintoshgarden.org/apps/macintosh-icon-font , which promised to help me do this infographic I was thinking about doing for years, but put it off because pixel art is tough to...

At the start of 2023, I thought I had: -3 shot very vintage breadboard C64s, possibly cooked to death last time I used them in 2016 -Stock power supply that I know MUST NOT BE USED, they send out way over 9V from the 9V rail and it WILL cook your chips. -one working 1541, one non-working...

Doing timing benchmarks on graphical operations (DrawPicture, CopyBits, MoveBlock, etc) is stumping me right now. I don't particularly like converting long values to Str255 and moving about the pen to DrawString all my result information across zillions of tiny Str255 fragments, alternating...

In my new video, I explain why MOOF files are useful for the vintage Mac community and how to use them in emulation and with your hardware.

I started this video series back in March of this year. I'm finally committed to share some of the stuff I've learned since I started on this Mac C journey back in 2004. Here's the first entry that explains the Hows and Whys and Whats: It's my most successful video to date on my channel. I...

Perhaps I made a mistake by asking inside Discord, tagging @Kai Robinson and not through a more official channel. I wanted to share a list of threads that I thought should better be classified inside its own IBM PC "SOFTWARE" section. I totally understand (as I tried to expose on discord) that...

Act 1: yanked USB cable wrong way, broke connection for my USB debug port socket inside a F256K Act 2: smd work 5 mins Act 3: wiggle test, works
