    Trying BlueSCSI on a PB170 (have working PB180 for troubleshooting)

    Simply transporting the HD30-SCSI25-OvereasyII-BlueSCSI assembly I have from the non-working PB170 to working PB180 proves that it's not that issue. I made sure I was able to boot my Mac Plus with it, as well as have the HD image mount from my PB180. That's possible, but wouldn't you still...

    Trying BlueSCSI on a PB170 (have working PB180 for troubleshooting)

    Can't seem to give my PB170 interesting boot options. The internal HD is dead. PB180 Behavior: Everything works instantly with my PB180 (same power adapter, same external bluescsi assembly, working internal HD though). PB170 Behavior, initially: w/ external BlueSCSI plugged in: I got a gray...

    I made a Sing Along program in C for my old Mac Plus!

    Go watch it. A lot of very young kids watched it back in the day when they were 2-7 years old only to be trapped by truly tragic and grown up themes throughout the movie. Many people report being marked by that film, in a mostly good way. Process for graphics: I use Photoshop CS 2 to convert to...

    It's an ancient beast. Best to play it on a Mac compact. Maybe SE or Classic 1 and below. Maybe it runs on a SE/30 but I doubt it . Or, mini-vMac way.

    You can't do autofire in crab attack so if you have a modern interface to plug a throwaway mouse, do it!!!

    It's not a game engine yet, but it could be. No, I was working (for now) on a sing-along type app for The Last Unicorn's theme song. It follows the song at the syllable level. The graphics are changed with screen flip so as to never show any weakness in the graphic speed department. I'll made...

    Indeed, I knew that but for some bone-headed reason, the emulator spoiled me into concentrating on other problems first. I think I have to go there for good measure, so thanks for once again putting me on the right track. What you propose, main loop only? pass 1: TickCount polled, no events to...

    Another bug found: mini-vMac doesn't care if you check if an unassigned PicHandle is nil or not, but the real Mac will give you a address bus error ID=02.

    SHAMEFUL DISCOVERY empty out obscure bitmap-like areas before usage, kids. It worked after I filled the space with white. I would like to thank @YMK and @Crutch for their help and patience.
