Day 2...
After doing a fresh install I can boot into it without having the debugger attached. Now it runs just as smooth as 7.5.x etc. I guess using the bare-minimum 68k machine for debugging wasn't such a good idea alright. It runs pretty well but will freeze up after taking a screenshot, requiring a reset. I checked out the 3 apps in the Mac OS 8 Applications folder. Monitors is much like the regular CP. But GXSlidemaster is pretty neat. It seems to be a QuickDraw GX-powered slideshow program. I've included some snaps taken of it in action.
I'm also using the animated "Gizmo" theme (called "Z Theme" here). There's no control panel to change appearance, so you have to rename it to "Default Theme" to activate it. I tried putting in the "Hi Tech" theme from 8.2 but it froze up before it could load the desktop.
I tried a few standard Mac OS apps. Apple Video Player locked up the system. Apple CD Player couldn't find a cdrom drive (and the system will fail early into boot if there's a cd in the drive). Fetch ran but I didn't have TCP/IP set up to see if it could connect. Stuffit Expander ran but when I tried to open the preferences it locked up the system.
And now it's screenie time:
Desktop again (showing Input Menu)
GXSlidemaster (now using the "Z Theme")
GXSlidemaster debug menu
GXSlidemaster "Perspected View"
GXSlidemaster "Rotated View"
Using this OS is highly illogical, Captain
The ResEdit 3 developer build is a native Copland app. Here we can see how Copland's nested (aka messy) file dialog boxes looked
Shaky cellphone-cam footage of GXSlidemaster in action (up to when it locks up the system)
I've tried hooking up my 5400 as debug machine but for some reason the debugger just doesn't kick in. I'm about to wipe and try D7E1...
