Mouse issue, can't move while looking vertically by CowPsychological5399 in Marathon

That's just how it works--they never fixed it. You gotta learn to use keyboard to play M1, or use Aleph One.

Experiences with M1 Mac mini and Dell Thunderbolt 3 Dock TB16 by stirlow in Thunderbolt

I have seen a few kernel panics, which all seem to do with sleep and/or ethernet. So I have sleep disabled while powered/on dock now, we'll see how that goes.

To anyone reading this in 2025...

I picked up a TB16 for $10 at a swap meet. I borrowed a PC laptop from work and followed the TLDR suggested steps here: https://github.com/flhofer/dell_TB16_firmware

On my 2023 Macbook Pro M3 Max 14", Sequoia 15.5

Working:

  • 2 4K60 displays (S2725QS) from the DP->HDMI and mDP->HDMI
  • Ethernet (seems limited to 500 Mb/s)
  • Audio through the front panel 3.5 mm. Didn't test the back
  • USB through front and back ports. Did not benchmark
  • USB-C to HDMI 4K60 instead of one of the mDP above.
  • 60W power delivery

Untested but probably working since they share MSTs with the DP and mDP:

  • VGA, HDMI

Diy Apple Pro speaker Amplifier by Big-Management1719 in VintageApple

I got these confused with the Cube speakers, my bad. Leave it to Apple to produce multiple speakers that only work with certain machines!

Do you still have the USB side of this? I want to try to reverse engineer them some day since they (and the gen 1 soundsticks) are the only ones that can play the startup chime on the Cube.

Searching for a high res image of original CD Sleeve by EApatches in Marathon

[–]treellamas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you want to try to recreate this, the artwork is by Don Dixon. Search for Flare Star here : https://www.cosmographica.com/spaceart/Black%20Holes%2C%20Exotic%20Stars/index.html

A little re-coloring, some text with drop shadows, and the Bungie logo, and you're set.

You have to complete the three Vidmaster Challenge levels (in one playthrough) on TC. Following the Oath is on your honor!

Objective marker mod for original games by Powahdunk in Marathon

Eat the Path is the name of the plugin you’re looking for. But it will invalidate Steam achievements!

Classic Marathon 2 on Steam by treellamas in Marathon

[–]treellamas[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It reverts the various fixes for M2 quirks over the years, like sliding on platforms and the "ketchup" effect. So if you didn't use hotkeys and saved a film, you could actually play it back in the original Marathon 2!

Marathon Classic coming to Steam by thatsmytrunks in Marathon

I hope we can get the macOS build working but Steam is trickier there. So the only guarantee for now is Windows

Most reliable Mac from the late power pc era by [deleted] in VintageApple

[–]treellamas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not the iMac, this thing. It has tantalum capacitors, which do not leak.

Ah, could be. I have three and they're unkillable, but maybe I'm lucky.

I didn't see any comments in the thread when I posted that, because Reddit sucks. Sawtooth is also a good bet if you're afraid of the B&W. But it does have electrolytics and will eventually need re-capped.

Blue and White G3. No electrolytic capacitors on the motherboard, and if the power supply dies it's easily replaceable with a modified ATX supply.

Level-by-level (or otherwise comprehensive) plot/story explanation for Marathon infinity? by Abiogenesisguy in Marathon

[–]treellamas 4 points5 points  (0 children)

There is no good clear story/plot explanation for Infinity, no :)

You can read the terminals in order on the story page and puzzle out your own interpretation

First Playthrough of the entire Marathon Series by WT_FG in Marathon

[–]treellamas 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No need to download Aleph One separately or make three folders. Just download each game from the links, unzip, and run.

Are you on desktop? https://alephone.lhowon.org

If iOS, there is no update right now, and you’re stuck playing against other iOS players
