Watching Classic Mac Gaming’s video on Glider awakened something in me.

well that wasn't hard after the work to get 7.1.x booting. system 7.0 predates enablers, so patching the boot2/boot3 resources in from 7.1 gets it to boot with the enabler

well, I think it’s more or less OK to release. you may have issues on your hardware, but these patched TBXIs at least try to boot whatever you throw at it, 7.5 onwards up to whatever it’s supposed to boot…

very hacky and your mileage may vary, but now you too can try to boot 7.5 or 7.6 or 8.1 on stuff that wasn’t ever meant to run it, without it instantly crashing due to its boot wanting some function or interface that got stripped out the tree…

the system enabler in chrp 7.6 has a version check in boot3

by patching out the version check you can potentially go lower

search for 0C 50 07 60 65 08 08 38 00 02 0B 20 replace with 0C 50 07 60 4E 71 08 38 00 02 0B 20

here’s 7.5.5

lots of real hardware debugging pain, and it turns out the problem was some flipper interrupts had been left unmasked

here is mac os 9 new world toolbox image booting on the wii up to the point where it wants a block i/o driver (blinking floppy), on real hardware

I found out that the smile is not horizontally centered and I can't unsee it…
