There is one capability, that most vintage machines - no matter which brand - generally lack. Realtime video playback.

Not anymore. Heard of Macflim already?

If not, you need to give this a read. Frederic Stark the creator built a piece of software, that is able to play back fullscreen video with up to 21 frames per second on a SE/30 and up to 10fps on an upgraded Macintosh with 128kB RAM.

Of course, there are limitations. There always are 😉.

The video is black & white but has a wonderful esthetic. Frederick includes an encoder utility into the source available on github and even if you don’t own an old Mac, you can use the encoder with a MP4 backend to produce these so much retro looking videos.

We officially love it!
