Alt nua ar eim.ie! 🏳️‍🌈 D'aistrigh mé VGAPride - clár DOS le @foone@digipres.club a thaispeánann bratacha bróid - go Mac OS 9 ar PowerPC. D'úsáid mé Retro68 agus QuickDraw chun é a dhéanamh. Tá roghnóir bratacha ann anois, agus oibríonn sé ar mo iBook G3 féin. Agus tháinig an portán slán! 🦀 https://eim.ie/posts/2026/vga-to-quickdraw.htm #Bród #PowerPC #Ríomhaireacht

New blog post! 🏳️‍🌈 I ported @foone@digipres.club's VGAPride, a lovely, MS-DOS program whose whole job is drawing pride flags — to run natively on Mac OS 9 on PowerPC. The flags turned out to be *data*, not code, so most of the port was one wee QuickDraw shim. Built with Retro68, complete with a flag selector, and it runs on my actual G3 iBook. Alice's sunglasses-wearing crab made it across intact. 🦀 https://eim.ie/posts/2026/vga-to-quickdraw.htm #RetroComputing #PowerPC #ClassicMacOS #FOSS #LGBTQ+

Just happen to see this: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48283099 https://github.com/mplsllc/macsurf "MacSurf, a web browser port of Netsurf for Mac OS 9 with native TLS" Downloaded it to the #iBook running #MacOS9 and started MacSurf. I could browse sites like #osnews pretty well actually. #PowerPC #G3 #Retrocomputing #VintageMac #Apple #Macintosh #PPC

Sadly it looks like enough parts on this are missing that it’s not easily usable. Would sure love to Mac OS 9 again. #apple #PowerPC #MacOS9 #classic #AppleCube

Oh, hey! It was on this day May 6th, in 1998 that Apple launched the iMac in a world of beige that turned around the company. https://everymac.com/systems/apple/imac/specs/imac_ab.html #apple #PowerPC #MacOS9 #classic #iMac

The power button on this Cube is a light capacitive touch sensor that is able to detect touch through the thick plastic top. The internal block has an impressive clamp to attach itself to the top vent piece. #apple #PowerPC #MacOS9 #classic #G4Cube #AppleCube
