    ThinkC Movie Crawl

    https://amendhub.com/mu0n/MovieCrawl/files/MovieCrawl.c I just started a small project for fun, it imitates a movie crawl. Here's the state of it after 2 hours: -Will set up a compact mac sized centered area of 512x342 where the action happens, on a black background (works regardless of the...

    Have an IBM PC compatible on the 486 or the first Pentium? Please run it for me!

    My 486 doesn't have any connectivity (no network card). Its only link to the world is via a compact flash card (regular disk drive is busted).

    [Idea] Macintosh 68k Programming Study Group?

    @_SDGOL_ " Ok, I successfully installed 7.0.1 on a virtual volume. THINK C opens up but wants 4 mb of RAM preferably. But it seems to go well, you should have no difficulty.

    [Idea] Macintosh 68k Programming Study Group?

    I tried VERY HARD to make a new volume with a fresh System 7.0.1 installation in Basilisk using the Apple recovery CD, but it's asking to insert the Fonts disk at the end, even though it's mounted right there, just like all the other install disks. The dialog is modal and I can't quit out of it...

    ThinkC [New resource article] Think C development

    I just created a new article based on Symantec THINK C development. If you have any interest in programming C and want to target System 7 Macs, all the way down to the first System version, this is a good way to get a jump start on that. The coding environment (emulated or real machine) that you...

    I'm making a resource that combines several of my posts atm The new article is here: https://tinkerdifferent.com/resources/think-c-development.84/ now, to remember how I dealt with a .toast file in the past. can anyone easily convert it to .iso file (that can be mounted in RaSCSI or basilisk...

    I will update my website (see signature) foray into 68k to make these more easily available, but here are the direct links: 30 Mb HDA file (BlueSCSI, RaSCSI, Basilisk II): https://mu0n.github.io/ForayInto68k/files/HD10_512%2030MB.zip 30 Mb HFV file (Basilisk II, mini-vMac)...

    [Idea] Macintosh 68k Programming Study Group?

    Thanks to @retr01 , I just prepared my starter dev HDA. I think I won't bother with a HFV volume since basilisk II can easily deal with it. So can mini-vMac. scratch that - it doesn't open at all in mini-vMac, it asks to initialize it (sys 6.0.8 and 7.5.3) so I'll have to make a HFV as well...

    [Idea] Macintosh 68k Programming Study Group?

    I'd like to make some resources available for all: I can make: a 30 mb HFV file containing Symantec THINK C v6.0, THINK Reference Viewer, Popfuncs, ResEdit and Resorcerer I can't make: a HDA file of the same HFV: runs well on emulators such as Basilisk II (recommend) and mini-vMac (don't...

    Requirements for Retro68 Cygwin...yeah, not touching that. And I say this as someone who learned how to use git on the fly back in 2017, has more than 100k lines of code in a java project repository that I've come to lead. Just learning the intricacies of the vintage Mac toolbox is already a...

    Have an IBM PC compatible on the 486 or the first Pentium? Please run it for me!

    Just for funsies, here are the results when I use a x86 system-on-module from ICOP, the Vortex86DX running at 800 MHz (warning, this is not matching a 800 MHz cpu; the closest equivalent in processor power is more akin to pentium 2 233 MHz) in my WeeCee ibm: 100 = 0.00 1000 = 0.05 3000 = .33...

    Have an IBM PC compatible on the 486 or the first Pentium? Please run it for me!

    I'm sorry to have caused confusion with the markings of my screenshots. Here's why they happened: I took photos with my phone. The photos synced up in Google photos after a short delay. I took lower res partial screen caps of them before I pasted them in this thread. This causes me to catch the...
