I've gone down a deep rabbit hole working on a strange new project: a standalone After Dark module player for modern macOS. No OS emulation or ROM required -- just the original classic Mac OS AD module files! I can't believe this is working!

Snow v1.3.1 is released!

This is mostly a bug fix release for HTTPS stripping NAT, LocalTalk-over-UDP and FPU fixes for SimCity 2000 and Macstodon; so you have the best #globaltalk experience during #MARCHintosh

That time I stacked 10 classic Macs and ran After Dark to see Flying Toasters wide screen.

Maybe I should do something like that again for #MARCHintosh.

The 68NC040 was a version of Motorola's 68040 that lacked an FPU, MMU, and CPU - and came in a convenient weight-saving package that also used almost 15% less power.

#Macstodon now runs in the latest bleeding-edge build of the Snow emulator! And if you use Snow's built-in HTTPS stripping, then you don't have to configure WebOne or another proxy, just install Macstodon and start using it 😎

Thanks @twvd for the FPU fixes and all the other hard work you put into Snow! This is the kick-in-the-pants I need to get the next version of Macstodon out the door 🙂

Snow v1.3.0 is released!

This release focuses on networking features and brings Ethernet and LocalTalk-over-UDP to Snow! This allows you to network your Snow-emulated Macs to real Macs, other emulators and allows you to easily browse the web through userland NAT and integrated HTTPS stripping.

Other new features include writing to 1.44MB floppies, Zen mode and more shader features. Bug fixes include better performance, fixed Prince of Persia and others.

Transparent HTTPS stripping is now available in Snow bleeding edge. This makes it a bit easier to surf the modern web with an old system by letting the emulator deal with TLS without having to set up a proxy yourself.

Today, the Macintosh Plus turns 40.
Here is my tribute video for it.
