your assumption would be half-correct, in that it's the half of YOSmas that couldn't be found on this side of the border

A mysterious box. Perhaps the labeling hints at its contents?



No party hats. Something else, wrapped in bubble wrap.



A handsome looking example of the 520ST. Lets fire 'er up and see what we've got here...



...aw gently caress what the hell is this cruel joke of a power port?!



Well, guess this is a scavenger hunt now! I hope those adapters aren't toooooo rare.

nice, I used to work with a guy who kept a 1040ST in his office and the dude had the works. floppy drives, hard drive (with its own fuse on its separate power supply lmao), joystick, software, even got the ROM chips to upgrade TOS/GEM to the latest version.

are you that mainframe hacker guy?

It's been four days so I think that's enough time to share with the rest of the yosmas people.

The 'Boot Me' usb stick I sent was supposed to boot but I suck so I made an 'app' but that didn't work because gently caress macs I'm a dumbass and should've asked first but I have a good reason. So, I took the time to instead writeup the instructions to make it work with Boxer (linux/windows touchers instructions at the bottom).

  1. Go here and download Boxer: http://boxerapp.com/download/latest (this will download a zip, or you can download it from the site yourself here: http://boxerapp.com/)
  2. Once downloaded, double click to open the zip file, and then run the boxer program once.
  3. Double Click the zip, then you'll see this app:

  4. Double Click the boxing gloves to get this window:

  5. Next you can click whatever you want or close this window.
  6. Next download this link: https://www.dropbox.com/s/qnlg1kg1fgwrd56/YOSMAS%202016.boxer.zip?dl=0 (56k no!)
  7. Once you download it double click the zip file:


  8. You (hopefully) have this icon:

  9. When you get these messages answer Y or N it doesn't matter:

  10. Double click it and you should be ready to go. Make sure you're speakers are on. Enjoy being a director!
  11. CMD-Click to get your mouse back. CMD-F to go full screen.

Ok, for Linux/Windows touchers get to the unzip step (#8) and:
  1. Download this file and place it in the YOSMAS 2016.boxer folder: https://www.dropbox.com/s/ahtigesyh8b1wh6/yosbox.conf?dl=0
  2. Install DosBox somehow
  3. CD to the YOSMAS 2016.boxer folder and run:
    code:
    dosbox -conf ./yosbox.conf

I won't spoil what it is but if you get this far feel free to share with the thread, I've also got a folder full of converted 'PCT' files that may be of interest to Godzilla lovers.

Not a fan of live crabs..... but my wife and sister in law are.

Also not a problem bringing something in on Christmas eve. Not going anywhere.

Edit. Wait what kind of crabs?

Also. Depending on time we might be out xmas eve in the early evening.

quicktime (in mac) will let you record screen selections, so if you make a video you can record it using quicktime. also, I don't think you can print anything (I had to compile a new version of boxer and the printing wasn't that great) but all the stuff you would print I've converted to PNG here: http://imgur.com/a/JSBXx?grid

also, quick screenshot on the mac is CMD-Shift-4 and for animated gif screen recordings I use licecap, like, all the time for my talks.

but yeah, reading your post history etc thought you'd like it, too bad it was such a PITA to get working.
