Re: Mini vMac for NON-Jailbroken iOS

Hey... I just noticed this in the source: (NSArray<NSBundle*>*)emulatorBundles { From that, it looks like you've carried over mnvm support such that I could create and load emulator bundles with specific configurations. How would that work with the current interface? Does it mean you could have mult...

Re: Black Screen With 256 Colors

That about sums it up :) Back in the day, I hardware modified my Color Classic to run 640x480 in Thousands of colors by replacing the VRAM and rerouting a trace on the board. I think the Classic may have been the last hardware that allocated video RAM in main RAM storage; after that, the ROMs were j...

Re: Hidden Things in Mac ROMs

That one's new to me -- likely it isn't accessible in any way other than by a direct look -- I think at that time, that's the only way they would have got it through QA.

Re: Windows 8.1 option key

We should probably compile a list of builds and their MD5s on the wiki for easier tracking. Or, when people build, just add in the date on the version string :)

Re: Pce-Macplus setup ?

Configure might need some custom switches for PPC. "inline asm" relates to how C can embed assembly code in-line in the code, which is faster for some routines, but is processor specific. You're getting both: *** RAM not found at 000000 and: TERM: driver=null ESC=ESC aspect=4/3 min_size=51...

Re: Classic Environment vs Emulation.

As long as you've got a recent TLS library on your old web browser, any 68k/PPC computer is actually much more secure on the modern Internet than a more modern machine -- this is due to the fact that the malicious software/landing pages that are out there only know about x86 and ARM architectures, s...

Re: Pce-Macplus setup ?

I didn't realize it had been compiled for any target except Windows-x86. Is all the code portable to PPC? Check to see if you've got any inline-asm that will need to be ignored during the config/make process.

Re: Mac-on-Mac on Tiger(or Leopard)?

I've tried a few things with all this; I never got mac-on-mac to work with anything higher than 10.3. mac-on-linux works under Arch, Debian and Mint. Arch is best; Debian you don't want to touch above v4 due to memory/speed.

Re: System 7 Golden master CD?

CD support started with version 7.0; the installer format was also changed so that you could put the "disks" in folders, enabling sticking all the disks on one master image or CD.

The one sad mac that can be triggered and easily recovered from is the "0F00D" error, which can be triggered by hitting the interrupt switch during first disk access. A soft reset will fix this. This error can also occur when the floppy cable is loose, or a hardware component of the floppy...

Re: Mac OS X 10.5 and VirtualBox

That's (kind of) the easy way out. Using VMWare Fusion, you need to apply the VMWare patch, as VMWare actively looks to see if it is installing the client version of 10.4 or 10.5, due to licensing issues. This can be patched. However, once patched, I still run up against the CrystalWell incompatibil...
