I guess a color classic compact mac with acceleration, but I'm not going out of my way to find it, especially not at the current prices. I'm less keen on finding one compared to others, since this period of Macintosh isn't nostalgic for me, I was moving on to PCs by that time. I like to maintain...

**** One Must Fall 2097: surprisingly engaging upgradeable giant fighting robots (think street Fighter /mortal kombat) with enthralling pumpin' music and a thin story layer that's just enough to make you want to see it though the end.

The first measurement I did with an oscilloscope borrowed from my work place was to check the signals output by the photoresistors: I probed here: and I was able to get a sinus signal going - the instability you're seeing is because this is driven by a piece of paper held with my hand...

Back in 2019, I bought this iconic piece of gaming history with the hopes of using a passive converter (spoiler: doesn't work, it would need a microcontroller solution) to the old serial connect of a Mac Plus since of course, it doesn't have an ADB port. Still, I have plenty of machines that...

After the last 4 intense years of using Intellij for Java and enjoying intellisense, go-to-method-definition-shortcut, navigate-back-shortcuts, etc., yes it's hard going back to my olden 68k C project. Just deciding how I want my source files to receive information that's supposed to be tied to...

My favorite environment is: Symantec THINK C++ v6 running on System 7.5.3 (through Basilisk II v1.1 running on Windows, but that's besides the point) accompanied with THINK Reference to easily look up library functions, data definitions, globals, etc. Acceptable alt choices: Symantec THINK...

I'll watch this thread. I'd like all of these: -cheap -good triggers -some standard character signal recognition -enough bandwitdth Dunno if it's realistic to expect all of these in 2021 yet. I haven't dug deep yet.

A few months ago, I saw this video from Adrian's Digital Basement, where he added HDMI output to his Mac Classic 1: It's something I'd like to do - both for the immediate payoff of the geek factor, but also to future proof my Mac Plus (computer I kept from my childhood) should its CRT ever...

On my PC, using visual studio 2010, I dabbled a bit with fractals myself. The C# compiled app still runs off win10, here's a screenshot (I used grayscale colors):

I assume these are all for North American values? I remember that I had to watch myself when searching for component lists back in 2019, I often stumbled upon the values needed for European/International analog boards, which sport different caps.

Will v.1.1-a exacerbate my fear of missing out if I have 2 working units of v1.0-c

Games that this machine can run well: Anything between 1983 up to games that didn't require 3dfx voodoo or opengl is fair play. It should run without lag or compatibility issues. Here are some examples: Games I've played on it: DOS: Dune 1, King's Quest Vi, DOOM, Duke3d, Pinball Illusions...

Clock frequency: Despite the SOM (system-on-module) being a Vortex86DX running at 800 MHz, it isn't an equivalent to a pentium 3/4 era, those could reach 800 MHz around 2000-2001. Both DOOM, Quake and 3dBench 1.0c all point towards an equivalent somewhere around Pentium 1/2 MMX 200 MHz to 233...

In June 2021, I ordered someone else's PCB project, sourced all the necessary components with some local help and built my own extremely small, (think smaller than a NUC pc) Vortex86DX cpu perfectly x86 compatible PC. The project is called 'Weecee' and was shown earlier this year by youtuber...

Let's fire the first salvo with dos games. Until 1995, Windows didn't get many top-of-the-heap games and game companies were slow to divert development away from their advanced dos game projects to Windows until win98 was on the scene. There are exceptions to this rule but my friends and I were...

Insta-buy after a mere viewing of 3 screenshots.

This is only my opinion but it comes from the standpoint of someone who has been on forums for ages and been an early adopter of ICQ back in the early days of instant messaging (user number 197701 of veteran 6 digit account numbers yo!). Keep in mind I wasn't sold on Discord for years, I found...

(feel free to move this under the sticky post if that was your intention to regroup every non-staff member there) First Apple: Macintosh 512k for a week, quickly replaced with a Macintosh Plus Favorite Mac: Mac Plus, closely followed with SE/30 Location: in the Quebec province of Canada Age: 43...
