current status: used all my remaining blank CDs on powerpc mac related things, everything classic mac or osx i've burned so far (and that includes the one already installed on the 20GB hd, which is ja-jp 9.2.2) reconfigures the framebuffer to 640x480

...i know the radeon 7500s in these ibook G3s are notorious for dying, but OF's setting up the initial 1024x768 framebuffer fine...

i would burn disc 1 of 10.2.4 for ibook g3, but as just said i'm out of blank CDs

oh well, if I port NT to this thing I'll only care about the OF framebuffer anyway

wamwoowam,

@Rairii as in, reconfigures and there's no way to change it back? that sounds like very normal Mac OS behaviour if the OS was set to 640x480 in software

downloaded a bunch of old world mac ROM dumps

the powermac G3 (v3) is the earliest to have an MS ARC-style COFF loader in its open firmware implementation

they were released nine months after MS announced they were abandoning PowerPC NT

edit because i got confused with the models. the blue and white G3 is of course the first new world powermac

wamwoowam,

@Rairii one of my powerbooks has openfirmware entries for coff-loader but also pe-loader? and it's from 2004, i have absolutely no idea what it could've been used for

wamwoowam,

@Rairii doesn't appear to work? i assume you already know this but i thought it was interesting to try

(to be clear i had no expectation this would run, i am somewhat surprised the loader itself doesn't function though)

wamwoowam,

@Rairii dont worry, i've not touched the little-endian parameter, so veneer is an ARC on OF "emulator" that... already exists in NT4?

wamwoowam,

@Rairii didn't appear to for me, going to assume i got lucky and not poke further 😅

update it definitely did but i never cleanly shut down the machine afterwards so i just got very lucky

wamwoowam,

@Rairii so then the question becomes if the little-endian? toggle actually does anything on a hardware level or just confuses the firmware?

wamwoowam, to random Latin

anyone order iOS on PowerPC?

yet winmsd is working on real hardware!

Picture of a TV screen, showing the System tab of winmsd. The system information is unknown, other than one processor with description "Broadway"
The Memory tab of winmsd, showing 15576 KB free of 79872 KB total, 2368 KB kernel memory, and a half-used 16MB pagefile.
The environment variables tab of winmsd, showing the processor PVR: 0x87200 split up into high word PROCESSOR_LEVEL and low word PROCESSOR_REVISION; a PROCESSOR_IDENTIFIER of Broadway; and a PROCESSOR_ARCHITECTURE of PPC.

wamwoowam,

@Rairii i assume you've been asked this already but i couldn't find it, is there any chance any of this work/knowledge/tooling would be applicable to powermacintoshes?

wamwoowam,

@Rairii i thiiink the binary would have to be big endian to start with then switch the CPU into little endian mode before chain loading NT? not 100%, i've been meaning to look into it but lack expertise and also test hardware/tooling

wamwoowam,

@Rairii you'd also likely need a small HFS partition for openfirmware to even see the bootloader

wamwoowam,

@Rairii fascinating, so that's down to the "chipset" on the boards so to speak? is there a standard way to do this in powerpc land?

wamwoowam, to random

that's actually so real

wamwoowam, to random

looks like someone's scared of antitrust lmao

working with games is so funny you fuck up the swap a,b macro and it manifests as "can only homing attack in one direction"

wamwoowam,

spot the problem 🙃

wamwoowam,

it's okay C# is a cool language

wamwoowam,

@gsuberland given the target here is uh... Silverlight 4 on Windows Phone 7 (.NET Compact Framework) I'm not all too worried about x86 codegen :P

wamwoowam,

ALSO THESE PHONES HAVE HARDWARE FUCKING DRM FOR PLAYREADY I AM SO BONED HOLY SHIT

wamwoowam, to random

well that's new

wamwoowam,

@CarePackage17 currently, you can't install the zune drivers successfully on 11, Windows 10 or a VM works just fine, there is a fix in the pipeline but it's not released to GA yet

"This ad used too many resources for your device, so Chrome removed it" is possibly the most fucked up text I've ever seen on an error message

julia, to random

Looking at Godot's api documentation as someone who hasn't used it before-- does it not seem like a mess?

If this is the "better unity", I REALLY don't want to see what unity is like.

wamwoowam,

@julia to think unreal engine manages to be even more painful ​:blobfoxgooglyholdingitsheadinitshands:​

update they have so far completely fucking ignored this as if that's going to make it go away 🙃
