So, #SixForty is going to be a smallish, easy project with multiple goals: it's been a while since I want to make a picture-oriented, kind of social network client on the #AppleII. But after the Mastodon project, I don't really fancy handling 20 api endpoints and entities and json selectors etc. So a client for 640by480.com fits the bill as its API is simple, plus I like the vibe of the website.
It will allow me to take pleasure in easy coding here and there, give me patience when I wait for components for my hardware stuff, and should provide me with one or two side quests.
I'm going to have fun !

I am apparently very much back to my bullshit. #RetroComputing #AppleII #SixForty

I intended to write this post about -9- months ago (not to mention maybe a few other posts as well), but the world got crazy and life got busy and, well, better late than never.

Hi folks! Happy to announce it's now simpler than ever to connect a Quicktake to an Apple II. I've worked on a better solution than the Frankencable, and came up with an adapter box. It even allows keeping the printer connected, for easy printing of pictures 🙂 https://www.colino.net/wordpress/shop/apple-ii-hardware/apple-ii-quicktake-connector-box/

"Voilà, ça c'est fait"
This set of adapters allows connecting anything Apple II to anything Apple II

Did my first RIFA replacement today, looks like it was just in time. #appleii #retrocomputing

Playing around with some Boing-alikes on different retro platforms today. Here's Shiny Bubbles from Xanth for the Atari ST, who also famously made the FujiBoink! demo.

Running on my 4MB 520STm. 60fps smoothness is lovely.

Automated cracking the protection found in "Les Secrets de Gertrude" (screenshot is from cracking "Les Puzzles de Gertrude" which I am assured by actual French speakers is the correct translation even though it sounds like someone faking their way through French class)

There were two versions of Apple's "Star Wars" game for the Apple II. The first version was written by R.J. (Bob) Bishop in 1977. The second version, from 1978, was by Dana Redington. Note that "ammo" has been replaced by "energy," among various other changes. No word on whether Greedo shot first in the later version.

Wizard Replay lets you play Wizardry 1-3 and several unauthorized third-party scenarios on your Apple ][, all from the comfort of your ProDOS hard drive.

Version 2.1 upgrades scenarios to Snafaru's "Proving Grounds 3.2" game engine. It fixes the random number generator, restores spells after leaving a "spells fizzle out" area, adds a delay after entering a chute, and improves display of poisoned characters.

@jf_718 And before Mouse Desk, there was Quark Catalyst 3.0, which came bundled with the UniDisk 3.5 floppy drive from Apple -- and was digitally locked to the UniDisk as copy protection.
