Old Apple II’s and Macs will never truly die, they’re just too much fun. Emulation and FPGA solutions exist and once gone over, the hardware is very robust. Replace the old caps with tantalum, align the screen, and you’re set.
- fstark 5y agoYep. Emulation is good, but using the real hardware is magical. Fun fact: the reason why macflim had no sound originally is that my SE30s have bad caps (like most), and no sound. So many people asked for sound that I had to recap those surface mount caps (ouch my eyes!) so I could actually hack a version with sound :-)
- ddingus 5y agoThat is the good fight! I love it too. Simple, fun, pretty robust hardware.
- KozmoNau7 5y agoThere's something special about that stark 1-bit B/W display and the necessary dithering to produce shades of grey. There are patterns to it and a very particular aesthetic. Early 16- and 256-color systems are great too, but pure B/W has that certain look to it.
