thanks — i wanted a ‘stock’ setup at least one that didn’t have a custom display card - just a stock machine. If you or anyone has leads on the stock display rom that’d be awesome.

Yes - i was able to resolve this!! Thanks. It was a goofy one…. Basically the math was using a “<“ instead of a “<=“ to determine if the HUD was visible and thus needed updating. I’ll post an update soon along with other stuff I’m trying. **Unrelated — does anyone have a Snow...

I’ve been looking for more video roms for using Snow for other machines (all set on the se/30 for now but i wanted a mac iici, iifx, and quadra 650, 700, etc). Starting with setting up a Snow version of a IIci I got stuck looking for a video ROM. The ROM link at the OP of this thread doesn’t...

If he teensy can be attached to an sd card it could use that sd card as ram (basically long winded virtual memory ). I have no idea if this would be so much slower that it’s worthless or if speeds of the critical path (processor to teensy to as card and back) are so much faster that it’s worth it.

Release v1.0.0 — Enjoy all! Finally got it to where I felt comfortable calling it v1.0. @Mr_Anomalya - @patters : it should solve your ram issue. I confirmed the required amount down to 3MB and set it up properly in the application’s resource.

For funsies here’s the Doom 1 wad file mem usage per map. Don’t mind the “Free KB” column, that’s based on an 8MB allocation, the USED one is the important one…. ┌──────┬───────────┬───────────┬────────┐...

fixing assap.. i simply upped the minimum from 8MB to 10MB (probably stupid) — of the major IWADs supported in linux doom (doom1, doom2, TNT, plutonia) — Plutonia map20 is the largest and causes the heaviest mem requirement. So I iterated my way to 8MB being the minimum required for that map to...

@patters - i posted a new release tonight that has various optimizations, support for pWADs and reduce memory requirements. Your machine can run it now even without you fooling in the Get Info box! https://github.com/retrospectmike/MacDoomSE30/releases/tag/v1.0b5PRE

yes absolutely — it actually will work right now for you I bet — go to the app, hit “Get Info” on it in the finder and just lower the minimum amount down to say 12 MB. You should have 12 MB available since of your 20MB only like 2.5MB goes to the OS. I’m going to release a new build...

You absolutely may! Feedback is always welcome. The status bar bug is new to me — I don’t see that issue on my se/30 or in emulated testing. What version are you running (the splash screen with my goofy head animation tells you the version). I’m close to posting a new one with additional...

thx eric — launchappl I’m familiar with from tinkering days making MacDock hehe but using it over serial or networking i don’t know — and hooing up networking in snow is the next layer — not saying it’s hard but you’re a few dimensions beyond what I’m familiar with. I did just try and get the...

Is this the best way to migrate files between the emulated environment (in my case system 7.5 on a pretend se/30) and my host machine (in this case on macOS)? I’m about ready to switch off of basilisk completely for my development workflow on doom but I find that I still need Basilisk for its...

That’s actually a harder gig IMHO! lol. “… he didn’t see rocky..”

Haha that’s **AWESOME**!!! Thanks for sharing. And yes - I played with toning it down to 8MB and it worked fine. I have to update it to reflect actual usage. It also doesn’t truly load the entire wad at game start like the message I put in the opening scene claims — which also would...

Before he blew up buildings and drove motorcycles into helicopters — he was a goody sitcom guy.

Cool!! Had no idea that was really from Macworld. I thought it was just staged. Ah the Macworld expo. Back before Apple built a spaceship for their presentations.

Woz on AI. . Not retro tech but an older tech legend commenting on AI today (tldr he’s not impressed)

Appreciate everyone’s thoughts. How about some thoughts on the potential harms specifically from using AI to make or help with _retro_ tech projects? Lots of good talk on general AI risks (art) or in modern application (i.e. not retro tech) and indirect stuff as well (hardware price impact...

This thread is the mode of folks sharing their opinions openly right now -which is great. Keep ‘em comin’! More food for thought: # Analogies ## Programming Analogies - **Compilers replacing assembly** — moved developers up a level of abstraction - **IDE/autocomplete evolution** —...

Thanks for starting the discussion in a post! Full disclosure - I recently spent a few weeks porting open sourced linux doom over to System 7 specifically targeting the SE/30 . Community has been generally positive. A few negative responses over in a thread on 68kmla related to AI’s use in...
