Re: N64 game patches to increase N64 Core compatibility

Ruleset, if you are still willing to make any patches, here are the issues still on my wishlist for possible fixes (e.g. ignoring all of "attract mode runs too fast" issues, which are trivial issues, as well as potentially not being fixable on the DE-10 nano). Rayman 2 randomly crashes when completing a level, during the save sequence. Ac...

Re: Macintosh Plus Setup

It has Excel, Basic, and Multiplan installed or available via disks. I'm not sure what software you're referring to, so I can't directly answer your question. The linked software is not included currently.

Re: N64 game patches to increase N64 Core compatibility

I've updated my compatibility sheet since all this patching work by Ruleset and the recent core updates to indicate which problematic games have workarounds and what they are. The second page on the sheet is more specific about workarounds. Effectively every game* is playable with patches / turbo / regional variants now. https://docs.google.com/spr...

I am enjoying this fix immensely, at last the Macintosh audio seems to be complete! Many, many thanks for this!

Do you (or anyone else!) know of any other titles which have PWM sound which was previously inaudible (outside of Lode Runner)?

Re: Macintosh Plus Setup

Had to peel off the Mac work I'd been doing. The new release is basically done content-wise, I just have not had any time at all to actually test it. In particular, I want to make sure that every game on the main drive works without needing to switch OS, but I just haven't been able to put aside enough hours to get through it. Maybe I can release i...

Re: MiSTer Judders on 4k OLED TV While Analogue Pocket Does Not

Sounds similar to this:
viewtopic.php?t=1718
They were using a Samsung TV as well. I suspect that's your culprit - the TV not liking the signal.
The Analogue Pocket is totally unrelated to MiSTer and doesn't put out the same video signals.

Re: Macintosh Plus Setup

I've added so much to the MacPack this year that the "1,000 games" thing is really underselling it at this point. There's probably closer to 1200 games now, plus hundreds of utilities and applications. I'll try to get a real count at some point.

New version looms. Was hoping to get it out this month, we'll see.

Re: Macintosh Plus Setup

Is there a way to convert the .vhd image of the MacPack for using it on SheepShaver an MacOS? It will simply work with Sheepshaver (and Basilisk II, and the Mini vMac fork with SCSI drive support , etc.), no conversion necessary. Just add the .vhd to the volume list in Sheepshaver. You might need to use the Old World ROM if you're booting from it ...

Re: Macintosh Plus Setup

A lot of the older games really want to be booted off of a floppy disk and have various conniptions otherwise. Dark Castle I think might want Finder rather than MultiFinder (the default for System 6). Might want to use the Special > Set Startup... to switch to Finder and see if that gets you going. Most games on the image require nothing other than...

Re: Macintosh Plus Setup

I have download the mac pack and copied it to my sd card. The Macplus core starts up fine and boots to the OS (which seems to be system 7.5). I eventually found dark castle on the supplementary disk in the system 6 folder. So I assume this only works with system 6 (it crashes when I ran it). How do I boot into system 6? You could use the System Pi...

If you're just asking "can you perform speedruns on the core", well, yes. Presuming the game works, tricks and glitches relating to the speedrun will almost certainly also work.

Re: Macintosh Plus Setup

No, I'm saying the early compact Macs (with built-in monitors) are very obviously not 4:3. They are extremely close to DAR 3:2. The intended PAR for Macintosh Plus is 1:1, though there of course can be variances and the actual mathematically "correct" DAR might not give exactly 1:1 PAR. I don't have the ability to calculate the mathematic...
