Could have something to do with those. I also see that 7.5 is listed as the minimum OS version, and like I said in my previous post, I'm running 7.1. Until I cranked the CRT brightness, the game content and the border were all very, very dark...too dark to see much of anything. Other...

The border did appear to be black, until I cranked the CRT brightness so I could see any contrast in the game...

This is running on an SE/30 with System 7.1, a Carrera 040 accelerator, ROMinator, 128MB RAM, and a Bolle grayscale card. 256 grays is selected in the Monitors CP, and the screen resolution is 512x384. The first video is default settings, and the second has all of the quality-related options...

I have an 040 SE/30 with Bolle's grayscale card and a ROMinator I can test on...just gotta find the time :)

I'm not usually a PHP developer, but I think this is the function you want: https://www.php.net/manual/en/function.urldecode.php

A few years ago when I was gaming on an old work laptop after my aging primary gaming rig finally died, my friends nicknamed it "potato" because of how it struggled to play many of the games we were playing. So, when I built a new top-of-the-line everything rig a few years ago, I named it...

I definitely agree with the sentiment of the second part. Every new tool that lets you work at a higher level of abstraction slowly leads to collective skill loss and eventually redefines a "solid foundation" though, and not just in the domain of software development.

One *could* argue that the way Anthropic used training materials is more analogous to a budding professional musician learning from, and being influenced by music they heard on the radio to develop their own "product"...arguably different than openly redistributing copyrighted material as-is...

As someone who just today had to purchase a replacement spinner for a failing drive in my NAS, I also loath the effect the AI arms race is having on the availability of certain components.

I honestly don't understand this distinction. A piece of software "works" if it functions in the way its creator(s) envisioned...if it satisfies requirements...if it "is" the thing that was desired. Likewise, if someone needs a post-impressionist-style digital image of a skydiving cat, they...

Exactly what I was thinking, though I know not everyone has the tools and ability to replace a 96 pin connector. If the missing pin is a redundant ground pin, then it's probably not the cause of your problem @macaphod. You never actually said what the problem with your Cube is though...

You mean the backplane that the mainboard and power supply plug into? Contact Rob Blessin. If anyone has a spare for sale, it's him. He doesn't post here frequently, so you might have more luck registering at https://www.nextcomputers.org/forums and messaging him there.

I have all of those things but #4 at the moment. However, the excerpt you posted from the LC Dev Note suggests to me that it works in the same rudimentary way that sound works on an Apple II. On an Apple II, each time you access memory location 0xC030, the position of the speaker is inverted...

I wouldn't think that would be a problem, but is your board socketed? Mine isn't, but I know some Cube boards were.

It's a 4-layer board, where the two internal layers are likely power and ground and the two external layers contain the signal traces that you can see. Pin 7 is connected to the ground layer, and pin 14 is connected to the power layer. The two decoupling capacitors C1 and C2 are also connected...
