There is exactly one active SoftMac user on the forum (you) so it might be hard to get support here. But what ROMs are you using?

Oh yeah, that was me. :) If anyone wants to connect with some of their old pals from the Macintosh Emulation Forum on Delphi, here's the link: https://www.facebook.com/groups/328020689211/ Jim Watters is there, as is Al Hartman. And a few others. Thanks for bubbling that up! Also useful in that thre...

Here's a neat item: https://www.gryphel.com/c/sw/arcade/patcs/ Paul Pratt (developer of Mini vMac) has resurrected "Professional Air Traffic Control Simulator" (from 1988) by compiling the only known version of the source code. After I update the Mini vMac guide I'll probably add this to t...

Lauri Pesonen popped in to chat on Macintosh Garden a few days ago and shared some memories of working on Basilisk II

Really wonderful stuff!

You seeing the new forum design now? I just want to make sure that I properly reset everyone's default preference.

You seeing the newest forum design now? I think I moved everyone's default setting over to it. I don't want to add to the burdens of the admins, who already have more than enough to keep them busy, but is there any hope of a customized bulletin board, like the old one? It was one of the best-looking...

I think that the current consensus among the mod team is that "like" and "thanks" buttons might not add much to the forum. We'll consider adding "solved" buttons, but it is worth considering that many of the topics here branch out in various ways which could limit the u...

Sadly, the theme was originally created way back in 2002. Through a Herculean effort Ronald was able to update it to more modern versions of the board software until 2020, but that just isn't feasible anymore. The current versions of phpbb are just way too different.

Well. I think you were the first person to post on this version of the board. An all-star, indeed. Enjoy the kudos while ya can, cuz this thread will get nuked soon enough!

This is now available. Here's a link: https://www.gryphel.com/c/minivmac/extr ... index.html

Just for whimsy, I guess! Any topic with a "Mac Emu" AND a Stephen Coates post is a-okay in my book.

Hey, this is neat - https://www.gryphel.com/c/news/nva9.html Paul Pratt is working on a "modification" of The Unarchiver for Mini vMac (as a replacement for Stuffit Expander for Windows) that will be as small as possible and serve only to to extract the System 6.0.8 install disks. I'll hol...

Indeed, using QEMU is the general suggestion here. PearPC is ancient. It is important to approach it with limited expectations.

In case anyone has a few extra bucks, this project is about 478 GBP from meeting an interesting stretch goal that would add a new section to the book.

Thanks for coming by, Richard. I loved your book on Macintosh gaming, and am eagerly awaiting this one. I'm glad to see that you blew by the Kickstarter goal in just a few days!

Hey, if you are in the mood to support one more Kickstarter, maybe check out this one: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/vicreeves/shareware-heroes Our friend Richard Moss is following up his book about Macintosh Gaming with "Shareware Heroes - Independent Games at the Dawn of the Internet.&...

Wow. I can't believe that the upgrade was nine years ago. We've been using phpbb 3 as long as we used phpbb 2.

Time flies.

I don't know. I really like how the forum is. We've had our trademark look here for 18 years now.

We did it!

Thanks for the feedback. I will check it out and revise the guide where needed.

Hey, just $760 bucks to go with two days left. If anyone here has a few dollars left now is the time!

Actually, it has already been discussed on 68KMLA.

I posted a link on a Facebook group for emulator fans that looks to have generated a few bucks.

One dollar at a time, I guess...

I notice that it was already discussed on Macintosh Garden. I dunno how many people use the forum there, either.

You should stick a note on 68KMLA. That place is still pretty popular.

Maybe also Mac OS 9 Lives, too: http://macos9lives.com/smforum/index.php

Well, I upped my pledge by a couple of bucks to help the game inch forward a bit. Is there anywhere else to post the link? I'll toss it up on Macintosh Garden later today, but has anyone tried sharing it on 68kMLA or whatever?

I don't know. I only just learned about it from a Twitter yesterday. Maybe I should have read a bit more before sending my 11 bucks!
