Update a year later: I have a robust standard midi file player that can load type 0 and type 1. Here's an example of 'human2.mid' a type 0 music file (from warcraft 1) My strategy was to parse the file first to detect the overall structure of all the different tracks of the MIDI file. Detect...

Silicon Beach Software were the hottest Macintosh software company in the 80's. They got me with 'Airborne!', slayed me with Dark Castle and kept me engaged with World Builder. I try to stop myself from getting boxed software, but can't resist with beefy manuals. SuperPaint is what @Ron's...

I received my 2 cables in the mail: Here's how the continuity works out between the 2 ends of that 2 cable chain: Again, doesn't look perfect! I went ahead and tried it: Mac side: There's not much to do but to launch the game, select "Mac to PC" in the Communications menu PC side: this...

@JDW , It turns out the sprite binary resource list (SHAP resource) is not encoded, or compressed, and can be read by a simple enough piece of C code I just wrote, and just CopyBit'ed on screen:

Thanks for your input. I guess I'll give up on this.

Yeah, Archon is from the very earliest years when game programmers were just doing straight assembly and using their closer-to-metal skills with binary game data, rather than adhering to Apple's application design guidelines, which was fleshed out later. As I posted above, I don't own a modern...

I don't own a modern mac, but I would love it if someone spent 10 minutes looking for art assets from the Archon game: https://macintoshgarden.org/games/archon-the-light-and-the-dark and while I have your attention, why not Studio Session: https://macintoshgarden.org/apps/studio-session

I got answers from the other place, here's a collection of notes on the topic (thanks @joevt) https://forums.macrumors.com/threads/serial-app-to-old-world-of.2429025/post-33239745 I think I'll do a 2-prong approach. Irreversibly modify the badly wired cable I have according to these notes...

Last year, I bought the boxed game of Falcon F-16. In the supplemental documentation added with v2.0, we can see this paragraph: Goal: serial link multiplayer game between a vintage Mac and vintage PC using a null-modem link between the two! Mac side: Falcon F-16 v2.0 (the update that...

I finished the image last night, stream part 2: https://youtube.com/live/4bIDSMskWIU?feature=share I think I sent it out to about 30 AFP shared folders on #globaltalk and now I'm attempted to hit as many printers as I can (many are down unfortunately).

I also started writing one "reaction haiku" to every print that was sent to my ImageWriter II that I could finally connect to #globaltalk thanks to @polpo who designed the LocalTalk option card clone and @jcm-1 who generously arranged an expedited special delivery to my frozen wasteland of...

I finally spent some time with Javier's recreation of the Mac Plus mouse, but with optical internals. You can buy one from here if you're interested: https://www.8bitstuff.com/product/3d-printed-apple-m0100-mouse-recreation/ My idea was to spend a few hours doing extensive MacPaint (v1.5) work...

MooII possibly can, but I'm not sure if it's localtalk compatible. It warrants a test!
