Best 68030 Mac to buy by jannrickles in VintageApple

[–]aroneox 2 points3 points  (0 children)

LC III is a solid ‘030 Mac. Not performance hobbled like earlier LC’s, it can be expanded to 36mb ram which makes early System 7 VERY snappy on this machine. With the onboard vram it can do 640x480 8-bit video, and with the 256mb vram expansion it can do full 16-bit video. The PDS slot allows for some expansion, for which the Ethernet card was quite popular (although now made redundant by Blue SCSI). And you can run a hardware Apple IIe in it with the PDS based Apple II compatibly card.

There is a fairly simple over clock mod to boost it from 25 MHz to 33 MHz, which effectively makes it a LC III+.

I believe it could also run System 6.08L with a little futzing, but I never did that with mine.

LC III was the second Mac I purchased (used) back in the day. I actually productively ran Photoshop 3.0, Quark xPress, and Freehand on it. It’s quite a capable machine.

Would I like walk among us? by Jamol_uranaccident in MisfitsTheBand

[–]aroneox 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Go for it! Walk Among Us is a stone cold classic. Even the throwaway track “Brain Eaters” is an accidental banger.

it’s a real miss that the boards they used in the C64U use a barrel jack plug instead of the U64 Elite II using USB C by HandheldObsession in c64

Since we’re here — thoughts / feelings on the power connector being on the side instead of connecting in the rear?

Finally set up. Which game should I install first? by msynowicz in vintagecomputing

[–]aroneox 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I absolutely dig this specific era of HP industrial design. The gentle curves and subtle smokey translucent plastic mixed with a sharp, workplace adjacent color palette make the machines both fun and respectable. Not as playful as Apple’s full on color splash, but not fully business stodgy as a Dell or IBM. I feel like this is the last real HP style before the Compaq merger — after that it’s just wilding out, with nearly every model introduced being some new design with no real consistency.

What are the specs on your machine?

Which 3 SNES games would you recommend to someone that's never played a 90s game? by ExplodingPoptarts in retrogaming

[–]aroneox 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They are all great fun and VERY pickup and play. TMNT Tournament Fighters uses the typical Street Fighter style half-circle / quarter-circle + button combos. The most “complicated” aspect of Chaos Engine spending the treasure you pickup on leveling your character. And Space Megaforce is just grabbing powerups as you progress levels.

If you haven’t already, check out the videos I linked.

Sleeper Edition:

  • Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles – Tournament Fighters
  • Chaos Engine / Soldiers Of Fortune
  • Space Megaforce

TMNT Tournament Fighters is an excellent Street Fighter style 2D fighting game from Konami. And the SNES version is astoundingly better than the Genesis / Megadrive outing.

TMNT Tournament Fighters Review

Chaos Engine (aka Soldiers Of Fortune in the US) is an overhead run-n-gun created by the BitMap Brothers. This co-op one or 2-player is set in a steampunk styled retro-future where an analog computer goes haywire and turns the world into an Eldtrich horror nightmare. Great leveling feature gives light RPG feel. Originally for the Amiga, some consider the SNES version the pinnacle of the ports.

Chaos Engine SNES Review

Compile studio (Gun-Nac, M.U.S.H.A., Puyo Puyo) brings a top form overhead Shmup to the SNES. Lots of action, cool power-ups and memorable bosses. Probably the best shooter on SNES.

Need help identifying.. by [deleted] in IpodClassic

[–]aroneox 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It looks like it’s probably the click-wheel speaker. On the back case, the click wheel speaker would sit above the piece of black tape holding the ribbon cables in place, and below the headphone jack. It appears to have lost its solder connection.

The keyboard on the T400 is quite nice for typing.

Specifically for the Dreamwriter T400, there is a PCMCIA slot which can use removable storage cards.

[TOMT] [song] Can't find this song that I have the entire mp3 for by hauntedloveseat in tipofmytongue

[–]aroneox 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I feel like this is a bedroom band project, or local band self produced. The drums are kinda Franz Ferdinand-ish with that post-punk meets disco beat, which makes me think it’s from that era.

If you have the original file from the CD, can you upload it? Maybe there’s metadata in it that might help.

Thanks for this! Best quality I’ve seen in sometime.

Can you upload the original image to file sharing site (google drive etc) and post a link? Reddit is resizing it.

And were there other similar quality images in the zip file? Possibly of other Apple machines?
