An old thread out at 68kmla picked up steam talking about this project, FYI for folks looking for active commentary. Intereseting side convo in there about the use of AI in the vintage computing hobby which honestly is something I’m really interested in discussing with our community. If...

That’s pretty wild from the prototype to the resistor findings! Very cool

Anyone with a tricked out SE/30 with a faster clock speed or even a 68040 - if love to hear how it performs on target.

I don’t know the Classic II’s specs but a quick search shows that it’s RAM maxed out at 10MB. If that’s true then no this won’t run the way it’s programmed right now. The RAM requirement is high most notably because it loads the entire WAD into memory at the start of the application so there are...

Also — as the options screen points out .. you can mess with the gamma/black pt /white pt. options in game by settings with the keys listed. I’m OK with the default settings but I bet some intrepid folks could turn the game into some pretty interesting looks (see screenshot below of default...

Updated this to v1.0b3 just now for some minor fixes — Mainly that previously I had disabled a few of the options on the top of the Options… dialog box (affine textures and Half Line) but I found out that Full Screen mode (another option) looks like <expletive> without turning off “Half line”...

I loved every byte of this post. What a genuine idea. And man that setup shot takes me back. I grew up with my first computer a 7500/100 power Mac which had that outrigger case lik the two in the middle. And then my dad upgraded us to the PowerPC G3 minitower just like that one on the left. I...

Thx! I take it your the/an author behind Snow??? If so thanks so much. That has been invaluable in accelerating dev of doomSE30. I was doing the 5-min transfer to real hardware for performance testing until you all hooked me up. Performance evaluation iteration speed skyrocketed and was like...

Def won’t work out the box with the Xceed stuff mainly because built into the approach is a black and white dithering that happens in the rendering. But no doubt a grayscale replacement could be dropped in to die sample only to that. It doesn’t use QuickDraw to do any of this so none of it...

Yea. I had to make the decision right at the start to either work with the leaked MacDoom source code from Lion entertainment or the open sourced Linux doom provided by id software. Ended up going with the latter but honestly I’d trust a lot could be done very quickly to optimize the Lion soft...

Ha - i forgot to set the repo to public — it’s updated :D

Not sure what this means so probably not? Graphics are dithered to true black and white only. You mean like for an XCEED card or whatnot?

RELEASED: MacDoom SE/30! Started a thread to discuss: https://tinkerdifferent.com/threads/released-macdoom-for-se-30.5154/ Feedback welcome! Git repo here: https://github.com/retrospectmike/MacDoomSE30 seee RELEASES page for download of .sit file. Pop it onto a System 7.5.3 system and...

Git repo with readmes and the .sit file with all the good:https://github.com/retrospectmike/MacDoomSE30 (or direct Releases page: https://github.com/retrospectmike/MacDoomSE30/releases/ ) Super excited to do this and wanted to start this thread to discuss technical details and feedback etc...

I’ll give it my best shot...

best of lluck! I have one from my SE and I couldn’t make it happy. I ended up jiggering up a raspberry pi with a motor controller and GPIO’ing to my BlueSCSI’s activity LED pin and wrote a little program that would just drive the miniscribe motor to spin some whenever the LED activity light...

Ah i feel like a total goober but I replied a few times to the linked thread instead of here — but tldr : Spot on guys — I was getting about 2fps on my real se/30 and am getting what seems like the same thing from Snow!. Very cool and saves me the 5 minute transfer process from macbook to SE/30...

Spot on guys — I was getting about 2fps on my real se/30 and am getting what seems like the same thing from Snow!. Very cool and saves me the 5 minute transfer process from macbook to SE/30 just to do iterative on-target testing! At the very least i can reduce how often I do a self checkpoint...

Got it up and running! Certainly seems to run more like the speeds of my SE/30… now to try my development and optimization efforts on it! Thanks guys!!

Yes! I had come to the same internet archive site via a different site!! :D
