Ok, lemme get this straight. let's assume X is the number of cycles needed to complete a frame of high speed video game graphics. let's assume V is the number of cycles between vertical blanks of the screen retrace (V being as long as 1 tick, 1/60 th) let's assume X is such that X < V Show the...

This quick code seems to work under mini-vMac, and I assume (!!) on a real Mac Plus as well. I just used the swap_screens() function of the book on p.301 https://vintageapple.org/macprogramming/pdf/Programming_C_On_The_Macintosh_1986.pdf Still got to find the best way to draw something onto...

Let's get it over with: paging @Crutch since I know he has tips inside his mind at the ready, with no need to consult any reference, like always. Goal: I want to prepare an alternate screen buffer graphic a few seconds in advance so I can instantly 'screen flip' at a precise time when needed...

I reached part 2, room 46 and got 162,620, taking the lead for Glider 4.0!

Montage time!

The full 3.8 m (12.5 ft) length of my corner as of Jan 2023 Last pic: finally have a free phone app on Android to take good CRT pictures with 1/70 s aperture thanks to a video from DosFox.

I can see them , might be my cache kicking in. I uploaded them to tinker different, so google has nothing to do with them. edit - under firefox, got a bunch of text garbage instead of pictures. I tried to fix, but it wasn't perfect. I reported my post!

--Attempting again further down the thread--

It still freezes if I go back to the boot mode menu. I assume it means I'll have to do the same song and dance with the manual edition of the config file every time I want to switch modes, which makes it a much higher pain than the feature leads you to believe.

First enemy gets you 200, then 400, then 800 and finally, 1600 if you get the 4th during the same power pill event.

36,910 in Mac•Man Stringing the baddies is key. I almost did 10k on the first level alone one time, and it wasn't this high score attempt either!

I've used: BBSes on a 1200 Hayes Smartmodem up to. 56.6k IRC Forums ICQ, MSN, YIM, Gchat, AIM Google Wave Google+, Facebook, MeWe, Mastodon Discord Agreed that Discord demands too much of your attention for what it can give you, if and only if you don't have the time to constantly monitor it...

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.

System 3.2 running on FloppyEMU on my Mac Plus for the win!

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.

I made 3 more sessions this year, and it's STILL NOT done. Things are getting harder at the end. Here are the other parts: Only 7 puzzles left after part 4. Part 2: Part 3: Part 4:
