    Unfortunately, the project uses a Pi Zero (doesn't need to be a W, or a 2). I think you can sub it for a pi3a, which has slowly become available at the end of 2022, especially in Europe. Use https://rpilocator.com/ to attempt to source one. To make the RGBTOHDMI more useful, I also got a cheap...

    You can always try cmd-shift-option-3 to get a MacPaint screenshot on your booting drive, but I'm using a far more involved solution and just press a button on my RGBTOHDMI and create a new .png on its uSD card.

    FloppyEmu Dec firmware patches bug? HD20 mode won't be set

    I was able to go forward one step by checking out the emumode.txt file present. You can manually change its content from 0 (3.5 mac disk mode) to 1 (HD20 mode) using a modern computer. Once put back in the floppyEMU, it was strangely still in 3.5 disk mode, but I was able to go to the mode...

    It's a game that needs the Sound Driver and will likely crash when it can't access it. You really need to go old here. Emulation will make this painless in mini-vMac

    Just go the emulator route then, I recommend System 4.2, or 6.0.3 and maybe 6.0.8.

    What mac did you try for that one? Plays well on a Plus and iirc, on a SE.

    FloppyEmu Dec firmware patches bug? HD20 mode won't be set

    Has anyone been able to go to HD20 mode on their floppyemu since the December firmware patches? Whenever I attempt to switch out 3.5 disk emulation mode to HD20, I get a freeze of my floppyemu in the submenu where the switch is performed.

    ThinkC [Study Group A - GameDevTrack] - Time Measurements

    It's been a long, long, long game hobby of mine to be able to program a new 68k, black and white game that runs smooth on real hardware. I know that C is my only reasonable modern chance to get there, with some dips into assembly inline blocks for some memory block movement that has to occur for...

    Drawing for a drawing (1BitFeverDreams youtube channel)

    After a too long hiatus due to work, I started working on winner #2 (Alberto Martinez) in a sudden live stream. You can go ahead and skip to 10:35 because I was stuck using System 7 and had to install the Mac-a-Mug fonts for a while on my real Mac Plus (as usual, video feed is live from real...

    Mine is 47 in an emulator, I think higher on my save on my floppyemu and/or physical disk. But it's a chore retraining the ol' nervous system for sure.

    And with that, I burn my 1st attempt of 3 in Glider 4.0. I haven't played this game in years, an effort that I'll make sure to beat later!

    I started a monthly game event if you're in need of a healthy, friendly competition

    It wasn't immediately obvious in which category I should put it, so I decided upon Events & Meetups, even though everything is done remotely through the magic that is the internet. Here's the thread in question...
