New blog post! 🏳️🌈
I ported @foone@digipres.club's VGAPride, a lovely, MS-DOS program whose whole job is drawing pride flags — to run natively on Mac OS 9 on PowerPC.
The flags turned out to be *data*, not code, so most of the port was one wee QuickDraw shim. Built with Retro68, complete with a flag selector, and it runs on my actual G3 iBook. Alice's sunglasses-wearing crab made it across intact. 🦀
