#PicoIDE production update: after a delay due to supply constraints, boards are currently in production! All enclosures have been manufactured. www.crowdsupply.com/polpotronics...

D. Bohdan faithfully ported Glider 4.0 (a Mac game I wrote & released back in 1990) to run in your browser. (It's the first port I am aware of that also brings along the Room Editor.) Try it out! If you find issues, let him know. dbohdan.github.io/glider/ #vintagemac #Mac #vintagegaming

I set up the new BlueSCSI Ultra Wide in my first workstation and see if it can compare to my original setup. youtu.be/Jrphu6DYSeU

I've released Amend 4.0, now with native resource file support so you no longer have to use SADerez, plus a bunch of bug fixes https://jcs.org/amend

Me: work on something for a few months Me: tell someone about it, just a few tech details <few days later> Them: fed it into claude and built it and published it. Can't even talk to people anymore...

Grimdoomer has just released the first version of the "Peer Pressure" softmod for the Xbox 360, giving code execution at boot time, within 20 seconds, with no hardware modifications required, supporting the majority of console motherboard revisions! github.com/grimdoomer/X...

"The PicoIDE will never work on the B&W G3" - Ian Scott, September 25, 2026 "The PicoIDE works fine on the B&W G3 with an OpenFirmware workaround" - Ian Scott, September 26, 2026

33 years ago today, the Stranger stepped onto the dock of Myst Island for the first time. We can still hear the water splashing against the pilings.

I've switched over Infinite Mac's classic Mac emulation to recently-released and awesome Snow, which unblocks A/UX emulation: infinitemac.org?filter=aux There's a behind-the-scenes blog post at blog.persistent.info/2026/09/infi... detailing this and other site updates.

New Podcast Episode ! This time we explore Vintage Computer Festival Midwest! youtu.be/LamG412IQgA

Mad props to @museumjoe.bsky.social for the awesome BlueSCSI drive that has brought the club's traveling Macintosh Classic 2 back to life! 🥳

My good pal @ronscompvids.bsky.social is hosting a fun chat TONIGHT about the recent VCF Midwest show. Join me, Ron, and a bunch of awesome folks as we chat about what we saw, what we took home, and more! This stream will also be simulcast to my channel, so tune in! 🍿 youtube.com/live/vpwQg26...

I thought I had the best time at the largest vintage computing event in the world. But then someone rolled up with a cesium atomic clock, and I was no longer sure... My video covering VCF Midwest is here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=oW-H... #vcfmw

Oracle Media Objects https://macintoshgarden.org/apps/oracle-media-objects Oracle Media Objects 1.1 for Macintosh on CD-ROM. The disc has files with dates of February 1996 on them. #macgarden #DevelopmentTools #1996 #Oracle

what are some smaller software projects or networks that need donations?

Thinking about the story @engineersneedart.com gave about Duane Blehm was interesting - he passed & his mother returned the $10. Years later one of Duane's friends sent the code which allowed his legacy to live on & be talked about in 2026. You never know how kindess will have an effect 50yrs later.

I posted a 68K Macintosh "game shell" on Github if anyone wanted to dabble in writing a vintage Mac sprite-based game. github.com/EngineersNee... Included, a beta of "Flappy Toaster" (a game-shell demonstrator I threw together). #vintagemac #retro_gaming #vcfmw

I'm starting to add A/UX to Infinite Mac (thanks to the awesome Snow emulator). An early version (with a few releases) is available at https://infinitemac.org/?filter=aux Would appreciate any leads for 1.0 or 1.0.1 install media (or pre-installed images), and […] [Original post on hachyderm.io]

I will be at Vintage Computer Festival Midwest this weekend with a table (B114) of Dolch stuff, because there are too many Macs there vcfmw.org #computersshouldhavehandles #vcfmw

My friend Veronica Explains and I started a podcast! It's called Kate & Veronica - the first episode just came out :) ! Listen / watch now! www.kateandveronica.net

Coming to VCF Midwest? If you're like me, it's hard trying to remember where everything is, especially with VCF taking up the ENTIRE expo hall this year. So I made this tool last night: geerlingguy.github.io/vcfmw21-map/ Now it's a lot easier to find exhibitors! #vcfmw

I'm doing a YouTube Premiere in 35 minutes, stop by and say hi in the chat! 👋🍿 www.youtube.com/watch?v=vRrb...

Today we're going to (try) and repair some things before VCF Midwest. Also, I'm starting a month-long fundraiser to help a wonderful animal rescue organization, you can donate directly via the YouTube Giving function on the stream. Going live in about 30 min! 🐶 www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q_6G...

A little Mac SE/30 surgery leading up to #VCFMW 21! <2 weeks remaining until VCF Midwest 😬

Huge PiSCSI release - biggest is moving away from the install compiling/downloading anything - web/control rewritten in go + a ton of other features/fixes github.com/PiSCSI/piscs... #piscsi #vintagemac #scsi

This is amazing! SimCopter had a great soundtrack by Jerry Martin but the game’s files were highly compressed. So LucasVB got in touch with Mr. Martin and he was able to find most of the original high quality tracks! Awesome to hear “Hangar” in such clarity after 30 years archive.org/details/SimC...

Got the PicoIDE and BlueSCSI installed into the SGI VW 320 to demo at VCF Midwest in a couple weeks! I love the auto opening door on this thing.

To honor Tim Curry's memory, we are making Brütal Legend FREE on Itch.io, for 666 minutes: itch.io/s/199277/the...

Did you know you can buy an FPGA implementation of the Apple Lisa? Now you do! LisaFPGA, on pre-order now. Get one and get to know the Mac's older cousin! jcm-1.com/product/li...

Oh yeah, live streaming is a thing, heck it's been a while... tune in shortly for *checks notes* repair attempts of some kind! youtube.com/live/D5sW6Cm...

Great news! Pico Micro Mac now supports audio! If you have an existing v3 unit, you can upgrade with this linkie right here: jcm-1.com/product/pi... If you don't have a Pico Micro Mac yet: no worries. Just watch this space because v4 is coming out soon that includes audio right on board.

VCF Midwest is a bit over 2 weeks away so I’m getting PicoIDE demo rigs set up for my table. One will be an SGI Visual Workstation 320 with both a BlueSCSI Ultra Wide and a PicoIDE in way-too-cool black front panel enclosures. These are 3d printed because I’ve only gotten molded samples in beige

LisaFPGA is back, on pre-sale! Order one now and get in on the action. While supplies last? Never! Everyone gets one. That's why it's a pre-sale! jcm-1.com/product/li...

I made some cool icons! 🎨 I'm proud to say the BlueSCSI Toolbox apps for the Mac (v1.1.1) now include my new icons. You can read about my process for creating these new icons via my blog post here: mac84.net/web/2026/08/... Also, visit bluescsi.com/toolbox to grab the latest apps! #bluescsi

I want to reiterate how much I love #bluescsi #initiator mode for imaging old rusty HDs as soon as you get them cos they’re probably going to die when you boot them the 2nd or 3rd time but now you never have to know cos you have an image of the drive that's been in someone's closet for 35 years.

Release with a lot of new bug fixes and features - check it out (if github is up...) github.com/BlueSCSI/Blu...

Thought this might interest some as I've done quite a bit of work building out testing hardware and software for @bluescsi.com #BlueSCSI www.patreon.com/nulleric/pos...

Join me as a refurbished this Apple pPippin controller!

BlueSCSI's been around for almost 6 years now - and we've had a lot of first and milestones in that time. If you're new to the project or just haven't been keeping up checkout bluescsi.com/milestones What's your favorite? Any you didn't know about?

This is a crazy awesome story. A former XCOM 2 dev bought a vintage computer off of Amazon, which happened to have a build of the cancelled Quake 4: The Awakening expansion. It's now been uploaded to GitHub! www.pcgamer.com/games/fps/ca...

Here's a brand-new article today from a brand-new writer for our website, Dan Schnur! Thank you for writing this up. lowendmac.com/2026/restori...
