Davide BucciSomeone reported a bug on <a href="https://mastodon.sdf.org/tags/SilkDust" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#SilkDust</a>. It appears only in the versions of the game where all the parts are spliced together in a single executable (Amiga, Macintosh, Atari ST, etc.). The game can be finished, but there is an object that is not shown in the inventory (but can still be used) and there are some quite misleading messages.

Base config, 13" color screen with 640x480 in 256 colors, with Hypercard and Think Pascal on it. And some word processor.Coming from the Atari ST, the Mac II wasn’t much faster than what I had, and the GUI was theoretically similar.But ThinkPascal felt sooo much more advanced due to the tight integration of its source level debugger into the IDE. On the ST, debuggers weren’t integrated yet into the UI, and were cumbersome to use.So Think Pascals step-by-step debugger and variable inspection in windows were mind-blowing for me ("how to they do this in supervisor mode, and yet have full access to high-level OS/grafport/window calls?" -- little did I know how hacky System 6/7 were).These memories.<a href="https://freiburg.social/tags/retroprogramming" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#retroprogramming</a> <a href="https://freiburg.social/tags/retrocomputing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#retrocomputing</a> <a href="https://freiburg.social/tags/macos" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#macos</a> <a href="https://freiburg.social/tags/mac68k" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#mac68k</a> <a href="https://freiburg.social/tags/atarist" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#atarist</a> <a href="https://freiburg.social/tags/pascal" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#pascal</a>

It always occured to me that RAM Doubler was a cure for programs that didn’t use newer APIs but the “old” pre System7 way of allocating memory fixed through settings in the Finder.But, this is obsevation is deduction and guessing. Would be great to read here from someone with actual knowledge of the memory manager of System 7.Perhaps <a href="https://mastodon.social/@Cdespinosa" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@Cdespinosa</a> can help or reach out?<a href="https://freiburg.social/tags/system7" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#system7</a> <a href="https://freiburg.social/tags/mac68k" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#mac68k</a> <a href="https://freiburg.social/tags/memorymanager" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#memorymanager</a>
