It's happened a few times when an Apple/Mac enthusiast acquires a PC but doesn't know what to do with it, what games are good for it? What sound card should you get? Here's my take on it, having used a: 386 SX25 in 1992-1996** Pentium 1 166 in 1996-2000* Athlon 600 MHz in 2000-2004 etc, to...

This is the video that inspired me to follow in his track (Adrian's Digital Basement) and install a RGBtoHDMI pi zero + hat + buffer board to first my Macintosh Classic 1, then to my Mac Plus and eventually to a SE/30 in an upcoming update to this thread. Project page to RGBtoHDMI...

This has made the rounds on youtube and on Twitter, so here goes an attempt to make a comprehensive thread about it. A Canadian computer called the NABU, which didn't have disk drive storage, tape cassette or anything (just a keyboard, joystick port and expansion ports for printer, disk drive...

Every PC DOS gamer has lusted after the Gravis Ultrasound at a specific point in time near the mid 90's. It offered a significant audio sample quality boost compared to the massively standard sound blaster, SB Pro or SB16. What added to the frustration is that a handful of demos from the scene...

This a hardware capture (video using RGBtoHDMI for capturing the original 1986 software for the left half parts, audio using the speaker out port) from a Macintosh Plus running Bogas Productions' "Studio Session" a music software for Mac Plus released in 1986 capable of playing back 6 mixed...

Use case #1: Clone my Mac Plus signal to a HDMI capture stick, a small lag is acceptable Clone that signal to a LCD screen, sub 1-frame lag is needed here. This is what I've been using ever since I build my own RGBtoHDMI early in 2022, to great success (you can check that out here ) Use case...

Can't seem to give my PB170 interesting boot options. The internal HD is dead. PB180 Behavior: Everything works instantly with my PB180 (same power adapter, same external bluescsi assembly, working internal HD though). PB170 Behavior, initially: w/ external BlueSCSI plugged in: I got a gray...

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...

Montage time!

Has anyone been able to go to HD20 mode on their floppyemu since the December firmware patches? Whenever I attempt to switch out 3.5 disk emulation mode to HD20, I get a freeze of my floppyemu in the submenu where the switch is performed.

It's been a long, long, long game hobby of mine to be able to program a new 68k, black and white game that runs smooth on real hardware. I know that C is my only reasonable modern chance to get there, with some dips into assembly inline blocks for some memory block movement that has to occur for...

It wasn't immediately obvious in which category I should put it, so I decided upon Events & Meetups, even though everything is done remotely through the magic that is the internet. Here's the thread in question...

BREAKING VINTAGE MAC NEWS: moof support was added to the FloppyEMU. This means it can read surface-level perfect copies (copy protection or not) for your vintage macs. And the collection of moofs keeps growing and growing these days. Awesome! This hits the 1984-1985 era emulator folks usually...

I got this ages ago around 2005 and I paired it with my then working iifx (no longer in my posession) and my LCIII (now battery bombed). I have no working machine that can test it out straight away. Symptoms: black screen, no matter how the brightness/contrast knobs are rotated. I get an...
