naturally there are *two* different versions of the heap code, the 68k version in supermario and the powerpc version that gets loaded in from disk later.

so "getting classic mac os to work with over 2GB of RAM" means "finding the places where pointers are checked using a signed comparison" for the most part

and patching the heap implementation to prevent stuff that must be mapped at constant vaddrs from getting clobbered

here's a video of Mac OS 9.2.2 booting on my Wii btw

made a guest blog post on virtuallyfun about the details of my classic mac os port to gamecube/wii(/wii u later), i figured it'd be interesting to document the broad details given a lot of this kind of stuff for classic mac os isn't documented, in a way it was for NT

Mac OS 7.6, booting on Nintendo Wii real hardware (Vegas chipset)

i count about 30 seconds from openbios to desktop (obviously minimal extensions though), maybe 40 seconds boot time total and that's using slow SD over SPI!

i love how slow this is, i don't know how much of it is the emulator's fault but i can see everything render lol

anyway here's mac os 7.6 on chrp booted on an emulated nintendo wii

will test on real hardware soon

imagine someone trying to exploit a host with the php vuln and they can't because it's running OS/2

i would link to the site of the one guy porting everything to os/2 but it's down right now, three guesses why that is

i just thought of the funniest thing about the php stuff
php on os/2 exists, and the poc probably won't target that for a while so for the 5 or so people using that in production you'll probably be safe for now?

all are ECC pubkeys, the funniest possibility is nonce reuse so please let it be that

ok but where is the interesting technical information about the intermediate CA private key compromise? i want to read some interesting crypto-fail hilarity :(

got the new firefox UI update, i have to admit i don't really understand why people hate it so much

are people going to switch from ffmpeg to ffmpreg now

tired: training a large language model
probably fired: potty training a large language model

oh look, yet another vulnerable anti-cheat driver? https://github.com/hseoa/zakynthos-navagio-rootkit

this time: read/write/protect memory of arbitrary processes, including protected process/PPL

of course the wii is retro it's the last console where devs targeted the bare metal application processor

first, debian releases got named after toy story characters

now, there's a toy story character that debian can theoretically run on

OH: to err is human, to really screw things up requires a techbro
