This is his code for the most part. It's a Retro68 project that can target various vintage Macs. I successfully built his code and sent it to my Mac Plus here. I took the liberty to add a standard file picker dialog which was missing and a Load button. The meat of the program is MIST's doing, porting code from an Atari MOD tracker.
Le Corbeau et le Renard: "Maître Corbeau, sur un arbre perché, Tenait en son bec un fromage. Maître Renard, par l'odeur alléché, Lui tint à peu près ce langage : Et bonjour, Monsieur du Corbeau. Que vous êtes joli ! que vous me semblez beau ! Sans mentir, si votre ramage Se rapporte à votre plumage, Vous êtes le Phénix des hôtes de ces bois. À ces mots, le Corbeau ne se sent pas de joie ; Et pour montrer sa belle voix, Il ouvre un large bec, laisse tomber sa proie. Le Renard s'en saisit, et dit : Mon bon Monsieur, Apprenez que tout flatteur Vit aux dépens de celui qui l'écoute. Cette leçon vaut bien un fromage, sans doute. Le Corbeau honteux et confus Jura, mais un peu tard, qu'on ne l'y prendrait plus."
English Translation: "Master Crow perched on a tree, Was holding a cheese in his beak. Master Fox attracted by the smell Said something like this: “Well, Hello Mister Crow! How pretty you are! How beautiful you seem to me! I’m not lying, if your voice Is like your plumage, You are the phoenix of all the inhabitants of these woods.” At these words, the Crow is overjoyed. And in order to show off his beautiful voice, He opens his beak wide, lets his prey fall The Fox grabs it, and says: “My good man, Learn that every flatterer Lives at the expense of the one who listens to him. This lesson, without doubt, is well worth a cheese.” The Crow, ashamed and embarrassed, Swore, but a little late, that he would not be taken again."Lemmings Mac Plus #vintage #macplus #lemmings #retro #macintosh #retrogaming #retrocomputing1Bit Fever Dreams2025-08-01 | Lemmings demo running on a real hardware Mac Plus.

Foray into 68000 - Game programming website for the Mac Plus in C (started in 2004): mu0n.github.io/ForayInto68k/index.htmlMac Plus programming in 20251Bit Fever Dreams2025-01-05 | My videos on 68k Macintosh C programming will continue and show you how to program flicker free, fluid animated sprites with masks. 60 fps is the goal and 30 fps is the fallback in case the loop gets busy.
Bonus: a MIDI playback engine in C that I've been working on for few months now, starting in python on a modern PC, but then porting it to the old 68k macintosh in C. This requires a MIDI interface that plugs into a serial port and some way to make the sounds, like a Roland Sound Canvas.
The music engine is a good basis to use the built-in Sound Device of the Mac toolbox anyway, stay tuned for that as well.

These MIDI selectors create one link at a time between a selection of one MIDI signal producing device (like a computer, synth, drum machine) to a selection of one MIDI signal consuming machine (like a Sound Canvas, MIDI module, or another computer with MIDI in).
Rapidly change your configuration in a package that costs WAY LESS than the standard “MIDI THRU” boxes that multiply signals. With this, you can avoid re-plugging cables between your various vintage MIDI friendly equipment. Just supply your own MIDI devices and MIDI cables, select the input and output sources, and you’re good to go!MacRecorder Clone - lets build and mess with it1Bit Fever Dreams2024-09-07 | TashRecorder github page: github.com/lampmerchant/tashrecorder Mouser BOM list (for building): https://www.mouser.fr/ProjectManager/ProjectDetail.aspx?AccessID=31409f3429

#globaltalk is a brand new event within the event of #marchintosh. the gist: connecting old macintoshes using Appletalk and bringing their devices such as printers using localtalk/appletalk. Rummage through everyone's shared public folders and send each other some printouts to their linked printers. Sounds weird and strange? Here are my impressions after a few days of using it.
