I just released version 2.0.61 of HotStuff with a lot of fixes and added features. Get it while it's Hot (Stuff) at the usual place.

A snippet from the version history file:

2.0.61
•Games are working! Start a private chat with a friend and start a game from the "Games" menu in the bottom left corner to start playing :-)
•Sped up the user icon handling, they should render much faster now
•A default user icon is drawn instead of the resource ID number in the userlist if a specified user icon can't be found
•Added better crash handling code through out the application
•Added Appearance Manager sound support for the PowerPC PEF target
•Revised button code for icon buttons
•Revised preferences panel
•Revised visuals throughout the client to make it more 68k friendly
•Fixed a bug that would crash the client when finishing a download
•Fixed a bug that would crash the client when uploading a file that contained a resource fork

you can buy it here

i got a 7.4 M-powered license its the first legit one i got back in the day.

I did IT support for a small recording studio some time ago and I did install Pro Tools there.
So I looked in my archives and found Pro Tools HD 7.4 & 7.4.2.
I think 7.4 is the last for Tiger and 7.4.2 is Leopard only.

I uploaded them (and some cs Updates) to the Hotline Server.

Huge Find! Thank you for posting these. Now I just need a 7.4 License lol.

good morning.. I read information about the
Sound Burst - Ethnosphere 1.1 VST, it seems compatible with OS9! unfortunately for mac I didn't find it on the internet..not even a demo. does anyone have it? would you post it here? let me know, thanks

Hey thanks for that I will be sure to try it.

The built in email client in Classilla still works fine. It’s what I use on a daily basis without any problems

are there any email clients that would work with OS9.2 in 2025? I'm new to this site so if I'm asking questions in the wrong place then can someone point me in the right direction. Thanks:D

Here’s a mention / notice that one of the discs images (iso) was missing, by Hyram back in 2018 and IIO’s response that “this specific download is currently >being< used >as< a test case for moving the forum content to a new host.”. https://macos9lives.com/smforum/index.php?topic=4433.msg31588#msg31588

And then there’s this original description of that 2003 MDD Restore set from DieHard (back in 2016).

691-4681-A (DVD)  SOFTWARE INSTALL & RESTORE 1

2Z691-4744-A (CD)  SOFTWARE INSTALL & RESTORE 2

691-4078-A (CD)  SOFTWARE RESTORE 1 OF 4

2Z691-4103-A (CD)  SOFTWARE RESTORE 2 OF 4

And then, compare the above with the images shown from Macintosh Garden…

691-4872-A (DVD) Software Install and Restore 1 of 2

2Z691-4873-A (DVD). Software Install and Restore 2 of 2

2Z691-4744-A (CD)  Software Install and Restore 2

691-4681-A (DVD)  Software Install and Restore 1

Z691-4681-A (DVD)  Software Install and Restore

Note:
The first two above, show © 2004 and have 10.3.2 as opposed to 10.3.
I would be tempted to try the first two DVD downloads from Mac Garden.
And especially if the 691-4681-A (DVD) from the 2003 MacOS9Lives set is lost.

What-a-mess.

And… “tit shakers”? ...Really?

I've tried multiple hotline clients, and they all can't connect.
Are the credentials (username and password) not the same as those on the forum?

I had a similar problem when the Hotline server first started. At that time the problem was an incorrect server name. A kind soul on a DIFFERENT blog gave me the correct name, and I was eventually able to log on.

There was also someone here who used to advertise a First Class BBS and also always gave the wrong server, so he never picked up additional users.

I've been told the name for such posters is "tit shakers".
