Oh man, how my desk has evolved since I last posted in here:

This is the fruits on my struggle with video making and/or live with a vintage comp feeding audio and video into my modern PC and trying to make my mic sound nice. In 4 increasingly difficult steps. No expensive hw faders/mixers, all controlled with the free Voicemeeter Banana. IF YOU FIND...

Investigating a static related behavior with my weeCee (tiny 486/pentium like PC based on the Vortex86DX system-on-module, I hand soldered it myself back in June 2021 and it's usually rock solid mostly under MSDOS): sometimes, they'll get under a mode where no matter what, there's some heavy...

New videos in the series: Video 19 - Gravis UltraSound: Video 20 - Win9x emulation and challenges: Video 21 - Remote Multiplayer:

The v6 is not out yet. It's slated for a late October or November release. Only the v5 is downloadable for the time being.

Want to plan for storage for all of this? I just found this search result over on the discord: Base Pack Compressed: 637 gb Media Pack Compressed: 161 gb Base Pack Installed: 757 gb w/ media pack installed: 1.07 gb size with all games installed 1.75 tb lite version will be released, a few...

If you wanted some tasty modern recreation fonts of the olden days of Apple, here's a chart with the old name on the left and its modern counterpart on the right (they are searchable and all free) I've zipped them all up for your convenience. Some of the names are changed so this table above...

I know most people around here know and love Macintosh Garden, which has been around for as long as I've unearthed my Mac Plus back in 2003 and started collecting a few more machines after that. It's mind boggling how organized it is, how special it is and how many people have been helped by it...

I added solder to one side this morning. It brought the thickness very close to my stock ROM Simm that has 1.38mm, so I got 1.36mm with the BMOW Simm (from 1.20 mm). The ROM socket doesn't give great confidence at its age that it even holds the stock one well anymore, let alone the BMOW one (no...

I published a video explaining how I prefer to connect a RGBtoHDMI to my Mac SE/30 here:

The about screen in Megaroids is TANTALIZING: This is a great promise to see the source code of a fluid, action oriented game, this can serve as a beacon of inspiration and teaching for would-be programmers of the platform. This in fact, was crucial for the developpers of "Continuum", another...

I added a better image of where the cables go into the connector on the Plus which links the logic and analog board (J4 on the analog side); wires are inserted from above the logic board connector

I don't plan to swap-in/swap-out ROMs often and I don't plan to own a programmer. If I need a ridiculous amount of fast loaded software with no size limits, I'm just happy with a BlueSCSI v2 rather than the hoop jumping of gettting a programmer. That's just me though. I don't have a case...

I checked my SE/30 ROM SIMM bought earlier this year from BMOW and indeed it is a 1.20 mm variant. I'll be doing the drag soldering technique, I don't expect to move it much. My soldering equipment is there on my bench if I need to apply a new coat, which I don't expect to do. I don't have...

NEW AND IMPROVED 9 HDMI cables, 3 INPUTS (was 2) and still 3 OUTPUTS

The other day, I was browsing Mac Garden and stumbled, as one does, upon an interesting 30th Anniversary font https://macintoshgarden.org/apps/macintosh-icon-font , which promised to help me do this infographic I was thinking about doing for years, but put it off because pixel art is tough to...

Here are the pins used on the Mac SE/30 J12 connector, seen from ABOVE the board. Pay close attention, the four corners are marked with the silkscreen around the connector on the logic board. (sept 8 edit made a better J12 connector (seen from above the logic board) diagram)

Here are the settings in text form for the SE/30 Mac SE/30: Geometry: Setup Mode: normal H Offset: 176 V Offset: 28 Min H Width: 512 Min V Height: 342 Max H Width: 512 Max V Height: 342 H Pixel Aspect: 2 V Pixel Aspect: 2 FB Size: Normal FB Bits/Pixel: 8 Clock Frequency: 15667200 Line Length...

I'm trying to install a RGBtoHDMI to my Mac SE/30 and I get an unstable image. Anyone else deal with this exact machine? Taking the Classic profile I have that's stable on my Classic 1 and just flipping the polarity to H+V+ does not do the trick so far. edit - ok I'm an idiot. wire colors are...
