Re: MPW Pascal {$...} directives

If you're looking for the list of all the directives available in MPW Pascal, it's worth checking Macintosh Programmer's Workshop book and especially chapter "7.5 Compiler Directives" on page 376. I would also recommend reading THINK Pascal User Manual (p. 203), because it contains some us...

Re: How to extract data from a physical Mac

I would be interested if anyone else can receive ONE byte into SheepShaver (with no additional termination character such as CR). Well, I've just tried to repeat my earlier takes on serial communication and got success again. So, I created a pair of virtual COM ports with com0com and got COM10 and ...

Re: How to extract data from a physical Mac

Don't know if it helps in this case, but in 2016 I had success using COM ports in SheepShaver (System 7.5.3 w/ Old World ROM). It were purely virtual ports though, created with com0com null-modem emulator on the host OS (Windows). In SheepShaver I was choosing my port on Serial tab and after that I ...

Re: How to extract data from a physical Mac

It also appears to have debug data it writes to help track errors; it's possible something may need to be set during compile time to output this to stdout. As long as I can remember, to get a debug build of SheepShaver/Basilisk the option "#define DEBUG 0" should be set to 1 in the source...

Re: [SheepShaver – Mac OS 9] Reverse Engineering a game

What do you suggest (or/and which are the differences) using Macbugs, debugger in Codewarrior (?), Hopper just saying a recent app to be run on the host machine.

Re: [SheepShaver – Mac OS 9] Reverse Engineering a game

mePy2 Maybe it wouldn't be a much of help here, but you could try to do this task not on SheepShaver, but in QEMU as the recent QEMU versions (3.0.0-rc0 and higher) support MacsBug (native Mac debugger), so it would be easier for you to reverse-engineer that game. As to SheepShaver, I was unable to...

Re: Help wanted for Russian MacOS, please.

mabam, thanks for the hint. But sadly it doesn't work also. The popup now says that the disk is incorrect. I guess there must be System 8 Russian installed and after that it's possible to update it to 8.1. So to make this CD complete one should find RS-8.0 and insert into the image.

Re: Help wanted for Russian MacOS, please.

You can copy the entire install folder to another disk, and if you launch the installer from there, it should find all the folders if they're in the same location as the installer application. That doesn't work for some reason. Tried to copy the whole CD content and "Mac OS 8" folder only...

Well, this is strange. I have a dynamic IP from my ISP. But I checked it with anonymizers too and some of them are also banned. It looks like this mac garden tries to protect itself from some attacks or something else maybe.
