However, it will search for littlefm.gb and not ask for it, if the program finds the file in the same directory as the. The patcher will ask for three things, a clean LSDj ROM, the littlefm.gb file, and a location where to sav the output. Should you need to execute it manually from the command line, you should be able to run it with something like java -jar ShitStrapOn.jar If you have Java installed, starting the application should be as simple double clicking the file. There has also made a number of under the hood tweaks and small bug fixes. The stupid screen scroll bug is gone! You can now scroll to the bottom of the song list in SAVs with 32 songs, without problems. If the SRAM is malfunctioning on the hardware level, the program will halt with an error message. If the SRAM is corrupt or uninitialized, LittleFM will offer you to initialize it, but also to leave it as is. LittleFM now checks that the SRAM is ok, both in terms of hardware and corruption. Currently only in the form of transfering a whole 128 kB sav at a time, but this may still be useful for backups and redundancy. LittleFM now supports song trading over a link cable. This includes interfacing with the virtual “file system” of the Derp and making sure that any song data stored in flash will be copied back LittleFM is fully Drag’n'derp compatible. No more IPS patches that only work with a single version of LSDj. LittleFM now comes with a Java based patcher application for easy application to any unpatched LSDj ROM, including (most probably) future versions. Here are the key features in this version: Key features This is the latest and greatest version of LittleFM, and alternative file manager for LSD. This week's project is (again) slightly late, but hopefully worth the wait. My drive pops up as "hard disk" so I will be using that to refer to the macintosh drive under linux menus. Next I need to deal with the hard disk first mounting Once that is done, I keep the terminal window open we will need it a bunch more I am going to link it here unless instructables says something, only with the understanding that you are only going to use it to bootstrap your real physical classic Macintosh computer, and not just leech it for emulator usage, if you do its your own butt, I claim no responsibility for the use of this outside of booting your machineįirst I need to install Basilisk II, open a terminal window and bang in sudo apt-get intstall basilisk2 Sytem7.0.smi.bin /Apple_Support_Area/Apple_Software_Updates/English-North_American/Macintosh/System/Older_System/System_7.0.x/īasilisk II starter disk Basilisk II compatible rom, these rom images can only come from a mac you own, course if you can not boot how can you get them? I googled some shady looking sites and finally found a rom image for a "performa" which works fine with the emulator Macintosh SE, 800k floppy so I could not just make a boot disk, if your computer has a "super disk" you can just download image files on your pc and make floppy boot disks, 800k disks require a different drive mechinism that IBM heritage pc's do not supportĪ amd X64 running ubuntu 9.10, and a compaq scsi card, yes you probably can use other flavours of nix, but that is out of the scope of this article One pc with linux installed and SCSI interface (host) What I used:Ĩ0MB hard disk out of my dead performa, it would boot but was just a minimal install to only work on the performa 200 / classic 2, so my SE would halt One Macintosh computer with a SCSI interface (target) capable of running system 7 One working HFS or HFS+ formatted SCSI hard disk with apple firmware This instructable also gets sorta complicated, it requires specific things and software, but it is much better than the alternative in this case, which is 800k floppy disk drive (dont have another mac) apple firmware SCSI cd rom (dont have), or have "someone" snail mail me a floppy disk (bah!) This is a narrowly focused instructable that should apply to any classic Macintosh with a SCSI hard disk and that can run system 7.0 but I have no way to test it so run wild with itĪlso you can use this information to take a hard disk out of a failed computer and retrieve information off of that disk (as long as the hard disk is still ok) In the following instructable I will show you how to do it using a apple formatted and apple firmware installed hard disk, a pc running ubuntu, a pc SCSI card, and a emulator so you can transfer the hard drive to a Macintosh SE and have it boot With no other working Mac's in the house how do I get this thing to boot? So here is the scenario, I have an idea for a project, that project needs a classic Macintosh computer, so I picked a couple 68k compact macs from the local recyclers for a dollar each (ones really dead, atm) the one that functions is a Macintosh SE, with a dead hard disk and a funky 800k floppy disk
