My YT channel is nearing 200 subs, so I'm announcing a drawing...for a drawing. I'll draw your face in Mac-a-Mug + MacPaint. Check it out!

In MSDOS, it's very easy to get a list of files with a restriction in the name, for example its suffix. dir *.txt and you can send the result to an output stream other than the screen, for example, a file dir *.txt > results.txt I already know how to use the olden Macintosh file retrieval...

I'm trying to load a CD ROM image using RaSCSI. I don't care about special extra features such as playing a CD audio, I'm mainly after loading up a volume in a cd image format, containing Mac HFS data. Which exact driver will let me do this? Sometimes, the drivers you can find on Mac Garden...

anyone with an access to a modern Mac use Disk Jockey and could make me a Mac Plus friendly (ie SilverLining instead of Lido) 40 mb System 6.0.8 HDA disk, then another 7.1 40 mb HDA? I received a 2Gb version of the Mac Pack extraordinarily stuffed disk with a bootable System version that...

I have a question about detecting mouse-over event management. There's no MacTrap function destined for it so you have to poll the mouse location with GetMouse (gets you local coordinates) and compare it to something related to the GrafPort you're using (window, whole screen, etc.). My question...

This is such a cool find I saw on Twitter. Andrew Lindsay back in 1989 at 16 years old, programmed this centipede clone on his Mac Plus with his 18 year old brother (who did the art). In this video, he talks about the visuals, the gameplay and plays through it while he comments. I wish we had...

I've been thinking about doing a reorganizing of a corner of my basement for a while. If I don't do it, this is the kind of thing that happens and drives my girlfriend and kids nuts (well, not so much the kids, for now...). Every piece of equipment is brought from various places from the...

https://amendhub.com/mu0n/MovieCrawl/files/MovieCrawl.c I just started a small project for fun, it imitates a movie crawl. Here's the state of it after 2 hours: -Will set up a compact mac sized centered area of 512x342 where the action happens, on a black background (works regardless of the...

I just created a new article based on Symantec THINK C development. If you have any interest in programming C and want to target System 7 Macs, all the way down to the first System version, this is a good way to get a jump start on that. The coding environment (emulated or real machine) that you...

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...

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...

Live 9PM EST - Let's progress on a fresh game together in The Fool's Errand (1987), a classic black and white game for the old compact Macs. Straight live capture from my real Mac Plus. Shout puzzle answers at me in the chat while I struggle! It'll be fun! (now fixed, first link was bad, this...

I came across this demo I had forgotten in some nondescript collection of graphics applications folders I had laying around. Some people in the Boston Computer Society took it upon themselves to recreate (in 1986) the 'boing!' demo from the Amiga which features a fake 3d bouncing ball animation...

(TW: anxiety inducing cable mess) In 2011, when I moved into an appartment with my girlfriend, she wanted us to tackle cable management. In my head, it was a 'let's buy 1 thing and get it done, anytime you want'. ... Fast forward into 2022, we've since then re-moved into an house (2015) and...

Archon (1986) from Freefall Associates and Electronic Arts One of my absolute favorite games on Macs - my brother and me used to play this a lot in hotseat back in the day. I used light side with the mouse and he played with the keyboard with dark side. Always. This game carried heavy copy...

Again, I'm comparing the Roland SC-88ST Sound Canvas against the Kawai XC-3 GMega LX, running a pretty spiffy midi probably dating from the 90's (the info inside the .mid file tells of a geocities website). I've discored that group (Casiopea) last year and their style meets the olden midi synth...

Methodology: I reflash the Blue Pill in my BlueSCSI using Visual Code Studio, PlatformIO using the Upload task within the project, since the STM32 cube utility has never worked with my counterfeit Blue Pill (which I didn't plan on getting, it's what a generic electronics store sold me). When...

I'm very glad I spotted this in a lowish resolution picture of an estate sale where someone was trying to show off mac software and hardware that his grandpa had accumulated over the years. There were Apple ii mixed in. It was entirely possible that this Uninvited box would be the Apple ii...
