Thanks for sharing a little update. Obviously that guide was written many years ago!

Oh, pardon me. I didn't see the link!

Cute!

Here is an update (found in my email inbox) from Weston dated April 2001: Mace hasn't made any progress for the past year now, due to lack of coding help. It's got a lot of potential, but I get the feeling that most other developers don't want to touch it until we get it to the point where a Mac app...

I think you hold the record. But Mark Nadelin was very young when he was our most active member, as I recall.

There is a 68k version. It is a beauty!

It works in SheepShaver!

Here's a Chat GPT client for Mac OS 9: https://manticore.nz/legacyai Of the features, it says: Allows you to converse with OpenAI's ChatGPT on Mac OS 9 Free to use but API access is dependent on donations Save conversations for future reference Change AI models to adapt to your needs Optionally use ...

This website turns 24 years old this week.

You may have already noticed that the wiki has been upgraded to a more modern style: https://www.emaculation.com/doku.php/sheepshaver

Would you believe that I've been working on this site for 60% of my life?

I just noticed that a long development blog was posted on the MACE page in February of this year. Just in case you missed it:

SheepShaver was mentioned on Hackaday. That's cool.

Note that chrome users can use the Internet Archive browser plugin and automatically trigger an archive of every site they visit. That's fun.

Welcome back!

I guess the forum has been operating for about 20 years now, with the oldest accounts dating from that period.

The website itself will celebrate it's 24th birthday in May.

Thanks for keeping up the search. I worry we might not get closure on this issue, but it is worth trying.

Thanks for sharing that, Richard.

Have you come across an obituary of Al? It would be nice to read more about his life outside of his work on this game.

Al Evans, creator of Cap'n Magneto, passed away recently.

Richard Moss's twitter is a good place to find a few remembrances: https://twitter.com/MossRC

Evans was featured in several of Moss's books on video games. I'll post an obituary if I can find one.

Honestly, it doesn't really seem like him: https://www.tributearchive.com/obituari ... nard-Pratt

I put out a call on a Facebook group populated by emulation fans from the old days, but no one had heard from him.

I tried all of the addresses I have for him (three?) and did not get a response.

I assume he is just enjoying some time away from computer screens!

Sadly no. But I tried another address this morning.

Let's not assume the worst.

I have a handful of personal email addresses I have used to reach Paul over the past 21 years (!). I'll cycle through them over the next couple weeks.

Might be best to email that in, or send him a link to the forum!

Anyone get a response? Paul isn't a guy with much of a social media footprint, that's for sure.

I read about the "Infinite Mac Project" on good ol' Slashdot: https://apple.slashdot.org/story/22/04/01/2032251/infinite-mac-project-lets-you-boot-up-mac-os-in-your-browser It says: "What makes the ["Infinite Mac"] project unique isn't necessarily the fact that it's browser-...

I spotted the Macintosh Bible Guide to System 7 in my feed of new arrivals at the Open Library:

Might be of interest to some fans!
