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...

If you want to see it in action from a live stream while it's running in Basilisk II, System 7.5.3, in 1024x768, click here: https://youtube.com/live/07Dhl8O-z5E?feature=share "Screen Shaver" Concept and art by Japhy Riddle C programming from me, Mu0n aka 1bitfeverdreams aka Michael Juneau...

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!

damn it, Master of Orion isn't a multiplayer game. That would have been SO FUN. (at least 1.0 isn't)

I connected to your stuff on appletalk and I was glad to find stuff like ZTerm and BlackKnight. I have no idea how to make either connect to your BBS, though. I didn't own a mac back in those days and on first impressions, it seems both software expect a phone line, which is not gonna happen...

Thanks for the feedback! I added the new link (kept the old one, made it clear with version numbers), I modified the screenshots for the DNS server inside the MacTCP stepts.
