thx eric — launchappl I’m familiar with from tinkering days making MacDock hehe but using it over serial or networking i don’t know — and hooing up networking in snow is the next layer — not saying it’s hard but you’re a few dimensions beyond what I’m familiar with. I did just try and get the...

Is this the best way to migrate files between the emulated environment (in my case system 7.5 on a pretend se/30) and my host machine (in this case on macOS)? I’m about ready to switch off of basilisk completely for my development workflow on doom but I find that I still need Basilisk for its...

That’s actually a harder gig IMHO! lol. “… he didn’t see rocky..”

Haha that’s **AWESOME**!!! Thanks for sharing. And yes - I played with toning it down to 8MB and it worked fine. I have to update it to reflect actual usage. It also doesn’t truly load the entire wad at game start like the message I put in the opening scene claims — which also would...

Before he blew up buildings and drove motorcycles into helicopters — he was a goody sitcom guy.

Cool!! Had no idea that was really from Macworld. I thought it was just staged. Ah the Macworld expo. Back before Apple built a spaceship for their presentations.

Woz on AI. . Not retro tech but an older tech legend commenting on AI today (tldr he’s not impressed)

Appreciate everyone’s thoughts. How about some thoughts on the potential harms specifically from using AI to make or help with _retro_ tech projects? Lots of good talk on general AI risks (art) or in modern application (i.e. not retro tech) and indirect stuff as well (hardware price impact...

This thread is the mode of folks sharing their opinions openly right now -which is great. Keep ‘em comin’! More food for thought: # Analogies ## Programming Analogies - **Compilers replacing assembly** — moved developers up a level of abstraction - **IDE/autocomplete evolution** —...

Thanks for starting the discussion in a post! Full disclosure - I recently spent a few weeks porting open sourced linux doom over to System 7 specifically targeting the SE/30 . Community has been generally positive. A few negative responses over in a thread on 68kmla related to AI’s use in...

An old thread out at 68kmla picked up steam talking about this project, FYI for folks looking for active commentary. Intereseting side convo in there about the use of AI in the vintage computing hobby which honestly is something I’m really interested in discussing with our community. If...

That’s pretty wild from the prototype to the resistor findings! Very cool

Anyone with a tricked out SE/30 with a faster clock speed or even a 68040 - if love to hear how it performs on target.

I don’t know the Classic II’s specs but a quick search shows that it’s RAM maxed out at 10MB. If that’s true then no this won’t run the way it’s programmed right now. The RAM requirement is high most notably because it loads the entire WAD into memory at the start of the application so there are...

Also — as the options screen points out .. you can mess with the gamma/black pt /white pt. options in game by settings with the keys listed. I’m OK with the default settings but I bet some intrepid folks could turn the game into some pretty interesting looks (see screenshot below of default...
