You could VIOLENTLY overwhelm parts of the motherboard SO MUCH, that the electromagnetic reaction in the analog board is just so... although some permanent damage may occur.

Resedit is excellent to make your resources, it's what I'm familiar with since the 90's. And I'm fond of resorcerer to poke around code in hex format and read data files that way, with strong search features. Porque no los dos?

Possibly. I'm not the best one to answer after only having done baby steps in the world of INIT programming but if I was a betting man, it would be to set up those "patches" it the base toolbox routines of the ROM to run your hacky code.

I highly recommend not sticking to any single book. We have access to many, MANY sources of material: Mactech articles: http://preserve.mactech.com/articles/index.php Treasure troves of programming book PDFs: https://vintageapple.org/macprogramming/ Inside Mac (old)...

The difference between every week or every other week might make a huge difference for me, but ofc I'm in!

and I got a new special boot disk out of it: You can try it out yourself here, on Macintosh Garden: https://macintoshgarden.org/apps/init-fakes-a-windows-95-startup file 1 is a .sit archive that can be used in a real machine, just drop its content to your System Folder file 2 is a DSK file...

Crossposting from another thread, this is a list of my ongoing goals: Black and white compact macs targetting mostly 512x342 in 1-bit color depth field BUT -must not crash if a more recent machine is used -System 7.5.5 is the most recent that I target -When possible and not too feature rich...

I'd love a PC version of this. I'd live with no GUI at all and it running in pure MSDOS6.22. As it stands, I must bug a modern Mac owner to build images for me and must wait normal business hours to bug them (just kidding.............orami)

I used it ALL THE TIME (iirc) way before System 6 back in the day. I still use it to this day; make a face in mac-a-mug, screen cap it, continue in MacPaint

I'm pretty set on a specific era of retro Mac programming. Black and white compact macs targetting mostly 512x342 in 1-bit color depth field BUT -must not crash if a more recent machine is used -System 7.5.5 is the most recent that I target -When possible and not too feature rich, System 1.1...

I watched the video and it was near the end in your thanks section, mostly (maybe elsewhere as well). So, it seems like you needed something resembling a button activated slide pusher for giving talks, but of course you're activating it in post while still displaying the image as faithfully in...

a MacPaint file is: a 512 bytes header; then packed data that is dealt with the Mac ROM trap UnpackBits and it unpacks into rows of 72 bytes (so 576 b&w 1-bit pixels), which is larger than the screen estate, and up to 720 lines of it (way longer than the 342 lines of the target machine). I...

Almost got a version that can open MacPaint files (type 'PNTG'): although it's not clear if that would be enough for your needs @JDW . You seem attached to the more recent TIFF format...

Yep, was about to propose Gimp, which I also use on my work laptop-tablet hybrid. Let me check how complicated the macpaint and/or tiff file formats are.

Here's a .sit file with the program, my example 2 PICT files and the THINK C 6.0 project file (and additional library files, you need misc.c and misc.h as well as link the standard library MacTraps to compile and build it - but don't worry, the program is already built and included)

Methodology to bring modern images from a modern computer to a Mac Plus: I'm using a free copy that was made available by Adobe itself, CS2 (free link opened up like 10 years ago) on my modern win10 machine Let's start with a std RGB 8bits per channel image file: first change to...

Step 1 of proof: Create a 512x342 test PICT in SuperPaint 2.0F in System 7.5.3 on Basilisk II for PC, so my small program can load it up (PICTs can come from wherever) Step 2 of proof: Save as PICT Step 3 of proof: Launch my program and open the PICT Step 4 of Proof: Run under...

I'll reread the thread and pay attention to the solutions that were offered but I just wanted to quickly poke the thread and say that the full screen 512x342 full screen, graphic display with no menu bar is a problem I've solved with my own C tinkering 16 years ago. I even re-used my code in a...

My setup is finally functional and I've been having a blast making tunes on it this week. Check them out! Cheesy Loops 01 (a practice in the interface, really. Warning, it's very cheesy): https://1bitfeverdreams.bandcamp.com/track/cheese-loop-01 Ominous Space Battle...

I have no childhood memories of using them or having family or friends having them. Only the C64, compact Macs and 90's early macs and PCs from 91+ to current day.
