@Webecedarian do you have one of these? USB Floppy Drive, available now on the market (amazon, computer stores, etc) Any modern computer with a USB port can now read and write these high density (1.4 mb) floppy disks. It's a great, simple way to send not-too-big stuff to a vintage computer...

Under @eric 's guidance yesterday, I was able to accomplish this on my Mac Plus - there's a bug for the Mac Plus that @eric and @jcs are aware of and will be working on. -Flashed my BlueSCSIv2 with Pico W with this beta .uf2 file by connecting with USB to my PC while holding on the button...

Mu0n's Mac Plus configurations:

In trying to help @Ron's Computer Videos make his Texelec board work, which was based on the 12-bit board with his Classic 1, here are all of my configuration screens: Mu0n's Mac Classic 1 configurations:

Made some minor revisions and added pictures for the wires that go into the RGBtoHDMI. Left to do: better picture of those same wires going into the Mac Plus J connector side.

Also, rereading that thread again in this post: https://68kmla.org/bb/index.php?threads/whats-your-recollection-of-mac-plus-offscreen-copybits-refresh-rate.38001/post-411778 particularly this passage from National Treasure @Crutch, Testing that idea out: I get flickering again, because I...

mini-vMac benchmarks at 1x speed VS real Mac Plus 16-bit - move.w using a flexible reference pointer allowing for other sizes (aka +0x40 to go to the next line with that reference) ASM block copy with words (16bit) of a 128x72 bitmap, average of 100 times: 3166 microseconds VS 3666 ASM block...

I'm an idiot. The move from C to asm remove the outer loop so I was always doing it only once. I've set yet another register for the repeat loop control. Also I read that I shouldn't use any old register freely to make sure I don't lose control as per: so I replaced: A0 -> A2 A1 -> A3 A3 ->...

EDIT- these results are no good, see below for correct ones. Early results (mini-vMac, Finder 4.1, under 1x speed): ASM block copy with words (16bit) of a 128x72 bitmap, average of 100 times: 166 microseconds per blit (copybits was 14166 microseconds!) ASM block copy with words (16bit) of a...

YES, thank you! A little bit more was needed though: asm block is now: asm { move.l nbOfLines,d1 //number of lines to do move.l source,a0 @startofline: move.l nbOfWords,d0 //number of words (or 2-bytes, 16bits) to draw move.l dest,a1 @stilldoingline...

is correct, I got blindsided by the (a0)+,(a1)+, thinking everything is symetrical, they are of course not! Thanks for the sanity check. I believe you're missing the fact I'm using 2 variables for addressing instead of just a single parsing one. The first variable is a register (A1) and lets me...

Sanity checks: Start of 72 lines loop Start of 8 words loop source = (long)bm.baseAddr = 0x398F6F0 dest = (long)backgroundWin->portBits.baseAddr + 16 (just to put it 16*8 pixels to the right, arbitrarily somewhere else) = 0x05EC0010 a0 = 0398F6F0 a1 = 05Ec0010 d0...

for a few minutes before I wrote my last post this morning, I thought this was it, but that can't be for 2 reasons: 1) I wouldn't have gotten a nice rectangular area of graphics if I was starting of the right edge on the next line 2) I'm adding 0x40 to a left aligned backup of the base...

ok, I'm getting some progress; instead of doing this: addi #0x0020,source //bump source and dest by $20, which 512 in decimal, next line addi #0x0020,dest I do this instead: add.l #0x40,source //bump source and dest by 0x40, which 512 in decimal, next line add.l #0x40,dest gives this...

@Crutch , another one made specifically for your talents. Striving to do a video about it will convince me to get to the finish line. I've been mulling for multiple years about these methods. As seen evidenced here...

On a related note, I sent Adrian a letter with a magnet of my channel icon & forum avatar (the "1Bit") along with a letter and a couple of QR codes linking back to my channel in general and a live playthrough of Dark Castle played through my RGBtoHDMI attached to my Mac Plus. I mention it here...

I had to go back to his video to understand what you were talking about. Here's his video where the URL timestamp will get you to a moment where you can see Crystal Quest: Here's a still of that moment: Here's one of my OWN videos playing Crystal Quest as well, featured on my channel. I...

I solved my zoomfloppy writing unreliability problem by 1) absolutely formatting before copying 2) remove the n switch for format and let the head bang to properly align itself with the disk! yes it sounds annoying, but it's necessary!

At the start of 2023, I thought I had: -3 shot very vintage breadboard C64s, possibly cooked to death last time I used them in 2016 -Stock power supply that I know MUST NOT BE USED, they send out way over 9V from the 9V rail and it WILL cook your chips. -one working 1541, one non-working...

turns out my SE/30 had its ROM simm inserted partially (it got pushed out) so I didn't have to recap its analog board ASAP
