What are the best (if any) options for fullscreen video playback on a bare bones Plus/Classic? Click to expand... No problem, just by-pass the Macintosh motherboard and use the…

As Mac128 said, it might be possible if you use some kind of animation software or whatever, but you can forget about anything that uses QuickTime - even QuickTime 1 requires a 680…
