That’s insanely cool and very creative.
Historically accurate portrait of nautical skulldugger, with classic mac classic dithering, and some sort of death clock!?
Colour me intrigued 
I need to play it, apparently it’s amazing.
I’m a huge classic Mac fan. Still an ardent Apple user to this day as well. If you guys are curious, this channel is very interesting for Classic Mac hardware reviews.
He recently reviewed my all time favorite Mac notebook (for sentimental reasons), the Blackbook.

Just booted up my Macintosh Classic and it won’t recognise the hard drive.
I’ve already removed the PRAM battery. Everything looks clean and no sign of any bulging capacitors or the like.
It boots from a floppy but that’s pretty useless.
I guess my best option is an SCSI2SD 5.2? And recap the logic board whilst I’m in there?
Has anybody done this sort of thing on a 68K?
On a similar quest myself. My HDD works but disk drive doesn’t, I have a replacement cog to fix the disk drive though.
But the SD solutions improve performance so much…

I’ve got some RAM coming and about to order some caps. And maybe an SCSI2SD if I can find a UK stockist!
Took the logic board out today and, yeah, caps have leaked.
Hurrah! System 7.1.3 with Japanese Language Kit installed.

Did a bit of digging, sent an email, and now the Samurai Mech website is back online after over 10 years!
So I got Mini vMac and BasiliskII running on our iPad Pro with Apple Pencil.
And now I can’t see me ever using my Macintosh Classic again.
iPad Pro 12" is almost exactly @4x Mac Plus “classic” 512x342 resolution. Looks insanely great.
I plan to play some games soon, but I’ve been doing 1-bit art with Deneba UltraPaint & artWORKS apps.

How do you go about getting Mini vMac on an iPad?
For both:
- Clone source code repo
- Open project in Xcode
- Build to device
- Setup and configure emulator
Mini vMac for iOS: GitHub - zydeco/minivmac4ios: Mini vMac for iOS
BasiliskII for iOS: GitHub - zydeco/macemu: Experiments with BasiliskII
(make sure to clone repo and switch to ios branch)
I also made some custom changes for resolution/screen size but totally optional. Happy to share details if that’s something you want to do.
I’ve always loved that Classic Mac B&W spritework.

I’ve got a PowerBook G3 and 17" PowerBook G4 sitting next to me. I use them both for 3DO M2 development. Granted I suck at coding but I needed them to get the demo disc I released running in the SDK.
Love some classic Macs

I have all of the guts of a Mac Classic that I gutted for a project. It was working before I took it apart. If anyone needs anything, they are welcome to if if they can cover shipping. Hit me up with any questions, and I’ll do my best to answer!
