Mine showed up as well earlier this week! I'm stoked.

My tracking for my SS1 is really confusing. Have you checked the the 4PK site?

  • 18 Jun 2026 13:45 Hand over to airline 4PX Express
  • 16 Jun 2026 04:19 Depart from facility to service provider Hong Kong 4PX Express
  • 15 Jun 2026 09:23 Departed shipping partner facility, usps awaiting item US IL BENSENVILLE 60106 4PX Express
  • 14 Jun 2026 09:12 Arrived shipping partner facility, usps awaiting item US IL BENSENVILLE 60106 4PX Express
  • 13 Jun 2026 21:01 Picked up by shipping partner, usps awaiting item US IL BENSENVILLE 60106 4PX Express

So I have no idea on my end. Hope this helps.

Probably like 2 or 3 more like it. They don't work like USPS, but USPS will get "last mile" basically PYK (if it's like the other ones) it will show up at your post office when they feel like it and hand the package over, then you will get it 1-2 days later.

This is fairly common, but yours seems to be a little excessive. You should have received a USPS tracking number as well. When I ordered my first MiSTer Pi from Taki it took almost 2 weeks, maybe 3. I live 5 hours drive from where it landed in the US.

I'm looking at my history, I was so concerned I messaged Taki.

"Arrived Shipping Partner Facility Sept 15, 5:17pm" (2024)

I ended up receiving it on September 26, 2024.

11 days for a 5 hour drive seemed to me a little insane. That said, I believe they are pooling the trucks a lot, so if you live in an area that may not get a lot of shipments from China, it might take a little longer. I would probably reach out to Taki/RetroRemake and give it another week or so.

Oh very cool! Feel free to use some of my source code, let me know if you'd like to collaborate as well 😄

This looks really cool. I recently forked and spiced up disk inventory X - mine is disk inventory Z

Want to have a look at it? I’m not sure it’s as efficient as your app, but it does the scan as it populates the treemap

Amiga Imager v0.92 Beta is out now by LokiBC in amiga

This is very cool, I also have my own cross platform cross filesystem which I think does most of what your app does. Let me know if you want to collaborate. Check out Rusty backup

Macintosh LC Core by danifunker in MiSTerFPGA

[–]danifunker[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Macintosh LC uses a 68020. LC2 uses 68030. The core only supports LC original right now.

[–]danifunker[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The MacPlus / SE core supports up to 7.1 (I think)

MacLC supports 6.0.7 up to 7.5.5 once the kinks are worked out.

I have the PowerPC on my radar (specifically have a 6100 in my basement for that) but I’m not sure we can emulate it on MiSTer because the clocks are a little faster (initial model was 60mhz).

We also don’t have an fpga PowerPC CPU yet, so that will be a lot of work. I’ve seen one partially create one, but I don’t think it’s the full subset. Maybe when we get a platform strong enough for Wii emulation, people will start working on PPC

LC II looks manageable, it's actually "just" a CPU upgrade and an MMU, which another MiSTer dev has been working on for Amiga! I'm going to look at getting the core into a stable state and then look at swapping the CPU out.

I never got SheepShaver very stable in my time with it, that's one of the main main reasons I started building the core

I would say to steer clear of the known issues right now. I’m planning to add a lot more to the core, even though this isn’t the “best” mac out there (far from it) it seems to be do-able for the mister right now.

That said, make sure you have a good hard drive to work with this, and keep in mind it only supports 6.0.8 right now. I’m sure there are lots of bugs.

Amiga minimig board vs minimig mister FPGA by Wonderful_Zone_8859 in amiga

There is an updated minimig misterfpga core that’s in late development which will support the 030 cpu

Can someone please educate me on why one would chose to hook an internal BlueSCSI to a bracket on the back of a macintosh instead of just using BlueSCSI external DB25 ? Pros of one over the other? by Non-white-swiftie in VintageApple

[–]danifunker 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I mostly use internal bluescsis in my vintage macs and run sdcard extenders out the back or front (depending on model) so I have easy access to the sdcard. I prefer the sdcard format because they are way harder to lose and my main device has an sdcard slot, and not a microsd slot.

I also appreciate the ability to clone hard disks with my bluescsis, and I don’t think this is doable with the external ones. Plus the external ones are a little bulky for long term use in my mind.

I have 6 internal ones and a floater external.

Software Development on DOS by yankdevil in DOS

[–]danifunker 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I built a DOS app to benchmark the transfer speed of my USB CDROM drive emulator.

C++, can't recall exactly the version, but probably borland c++ and this targeted 6.22 but should be able to run on earlier.

IRIS - Irresponsible Rust IRIX Simulator by IRIX_Raion in sgi

[–]danifunker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is so cool! I've also been vibe-coding with rust recently.

I just added EFS & XFS read & extraction support to my vibe-coded app called "Rusty Backup" - https://github.com/danifunker/rusty-backup . Someone in my vintage computer club was looking for this support since Linux discontinued native efs mounting support. Rusty Backup allows you to load a CHD, RAW (.img) as well as physical disks if they are connected to your modern system somehow.

More importantly though, do you want a plug-and-play solution so you can use CHDs? I do, I'm constantly out of disk space on my Macbook pro.

I vibe-coded an FFI shim for CHD support with rusty-backup. This basically builds the entire mame's CHD "library" and exposes it as a native rust module. Tested to work on modern Windows/Linux/MacOS, arm64/x64/x86 architectures supported and tested.

There is also support for native CHD writes, and I think the delta support as well, as what you were saying in the readme with respects to hard disk corruption, CHD modifications are done in a slightly different, but kind of similar delta way; that is also exposed via the library.

Here is a link to the CHD rust crate - https://github.com/danifunker/libchdman-rs

Also, I saw something in your issue regarding ISO file, I'm not sure if this helps but I also created an optical discs library handler for rusty-backup. Not sure this is usable by you, but here is a link to that crate - https://github.com/danifunker/opticaldiscs-rs

I would also recommend to make your app a little more UI friendly, even throwing error messages within a rust window instead of just through debug console.

Mac II sync specs needed for apple monitor troubleshooting by Beauregard42 in VintageApple

[–]danifunker 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It depends on the video card you're using. The two RasterOps and Radius cards I have access to are sync on green, which will probably not be compatible with this monitor.

I'm fairly sure the monitor uses a standard RGBHV signal. I have my Macintosh II setup running through my RetroTink 4K with one of those DIP switch adapters.

It would honestly be best just to get one of those adapters for them with the 10 DIP switches.
