@yon Quite limited utility on Mac OS 9 but interesting at the very least.

@chikorita157 I guess the ANN RSS bot could trivially scan the text for the keywords anime / manga and hashtag them at the end :meowthinking:

@anianimalsmoe It’s something that I can implement, but I need to figure that out to implement this.

@chikorita157 Heard of XBox’s recent issues? That they will open up their exclusives (and I’m sitting here with an XBox thinking, not much to care about their exclusives), poor hardware and gamepass sales, etc.

But that’s not my point. I’m baffled that I can have an idea that apparently senior staff there don’t. Said it before, but I’ll bet you this would be a hit:

XBox “Deck/Switch”, the OS.

Installable on generic x86 hardware (and ARM if that happens). Basically the Windows version of the Steam Deck. Stay in XBox for gaming, and optionally “drop into” windows (if you install that part).

Instant Windows gaming library, Game Pass, and store.

Not that I’m advocating for it per se, just baffles me that they haven’t had the idea.

Or am I super off and nobody would want it? Feels better than “raw” Windows on a handheld gaming machine.

@yon I’m very aware of it, given the rumors that they are going to stop making hardware, but they deny it.

Reeks of desperation. I would never switch to Comcast, since they have data caps and worse internet service than Fios.

Also receive ads and even Comcast people wanting me to switch. I would never.

I swear, I’m not going out there and starting to collect PowerPC G3 accelerators for beige Power Macintoshes.

Also, the ones Japanese companies like Interware comes up with interesting designs. Buffalo also made G3 accelerator cards too. Yes, the Macintosh is popular in Japan back in the day, especially the amount of games made for it.

Yes, it's the same company who made the G3 accelerator for the PowerBook 1400:

I have ordered a bunch of old Japanese language Maintosh games from Japan to play on the vintage Macs I have. They are relatively cheap.

I have a bunch of interesting titles, but I’ll reveal them eventually and they will eventually be archived and uploaded to Macintosh Garden for everyone to play (if you learning Japanese and interested in some of the obscure Japanese only games, it might be worth a try to mess around in an Emulator like Infinite Mac if you don’t have a Japanese version of Mac OS 7 or later installed)

AI developers are brazen stealing other peoples work without permission, hence this.

@yon The thing is, Japan allowed them to train on data so they can get OpenAI offices… LDP has the wrong priorities and don’t care about the creatives.

Everything back together now with G3 goodness

I did discover that three clips that hold the front broke off already, need to glue them back at a later date, but the 8100 is mostly restored and quieter now as it only runs off the BlueSCSI, the HD is disconnected, but causes a slight about 10 sec delay when it cold boots.

chikorita157,
@chikorita157@sakurajima.moe avatar

While an 8100 is a first gen high end Power Macintosh, probably don't get one of these as they aren't easy to work on. It uses the same tower design as the Quadra 800, which is hard to upgrade the RAM or remove the battery (if it haven't exploded yet). The potential of broken plastics if you open it up or take parts out the wrong way is a concern.

If you ware looking for a Mac that can run Mac OS 7 (for compatibility with older games), 6100 or 7100 if you want a Power PC 601 or the 7300/7500/7600/8600/9600 are better bets.

I don't recommend a Performa 6200/6300 since those are really slow and not that great Macs, they are really slow, but you can use cheap CF cards, but there are no G3 upgrades for them, except for those rare cache card PowerPC G3 accelerator cards. 6360/6400/6500 are okay, but limited G3 accelerator options, and can only go up to 128 MB of RAM.

If you don't care about Mac OS 7 or need lower color modes, a G3 or G4 Power Mac towers or a G4 Mac mini with a modified Mac OS 9 install are still cheaper, which will always be faster, at the expense of compatibility with earlier apps that may only work on Mac OS 7 and not 8.5/8.6 or 9.

@yon I haven't really used a computer with a hard drive for a long while now. Most of my computers use SSDs (besides the NAS storage)

I wonder, will the BlueSCSI add an option for a motor to emulate hard drive sounds. :bunhdthink:

chikorita157,
@chikorita157@sakurajima.moe avatar

@yon The WD Red Pro drives are really loud, I have two of them in the ThunderBay when the original RAID 10 array died in 2022, but I did have backups, so nothing got lost.

I wonder if BlueSCSI will ever add emulated drive sounds, for the nostalgia. They have it on the FloppyEmu making those floppy disk reading sounds.

chikorita157,
@chikorita157@sakurajima.moe avatar

@yon Yes, I have like 4 disk images and a folder that has a bunch of CD images. SCSI ID 3 is taken by the physical CD drive since I’m using an external one.

chikorita157,
@chikorita157@sakurajima.moe avatar

@yon I have like two SCSI devices, a ZIP drive and an external hard drive. Basically, it’s like Thunderbolt back in the day, surprised there was an external SCSI video card.

Sure, the whole Performa 6200 and the 630 being terrible because it uses an IDE HD instead of SCSI is a thing, although it can use CF cards without using a BlueSCSI. However, one can’t beat the connivence of dropping files on the SD card that the BlueSCSI uses and not having to deal with ISO mounting programs or physical CDs.

Should try to pick up a beige Mac of any type some time. They can do some things that the newer Power Macs can’t do such as play games that require BW/4/16 colours or greys.

Apparently, you cannot install After Dark 4 on a Japanese version of Mac OS 8.6.

Wait, region locking was a thing. :meowfacepalm:
