[pcklee123]

The Macintosh emulator BasiliskII by Christian Bauer works on the GPX2. No keyboard yet but you can use keycaps to cut and paste text to your application.

hey cool... will try this later!

 

[pcklee123]

any way of setting 320x240 screen on a mac? or changing the fontsize?
the charaters are too small to read at 640x480 rescaled to 320x240 by Paeryn's libs.

Hmm... now that Basilisk works, anyone want to try Sheepshaver to get MacOS9 support?

It'll be at least as useful as Bochs running Win95, right?

(PearPC is right out, I'd assume... although didn't that one guy get it to boot after about 2 weeks on a Mac II running Debian?)

​

you can get sytem 7.5 from apple for free but i dont know about MacOS9

The point is Basilisk only emulates a 68k processor, MacOS starting with version 8.1 I think required a PowerPC processor. SheepShaver is Basilisk except with a PowerPC emulator. Probably a lot slower though

No, 8.1 will run on a 68040, and I think 8.5 will as well.

Could Basilisk be sped up by disabling the FPU in 040 CPUs, or emulating a 68030? Then it wouldn't have to do all the floating point math.

​

try it and tell us. you can change the cpu and fpu by changing the prefs file

Nice icon. Thanks

 

[Mudi]

Umm, doesn't the mac emulate an FPU when running with a 68030? So that would be emulating the emulation of a FPU

 

[pcklee123]

Has anyone tested if sound works?
What about with tvout? the resolution coud be better.

​

I am not aware of it emulating an FPU. I thought that it had an optional FPU.

I tried it and every time I ran it it crashed to menu. Others might have more luck though... The linux settings seem to be a bit different than the Windows ones, which I was copying from. I tried using a Classic II rom, a Quadra 605, an LC III, and an LC. (I think those were all of them)

​

Hi can you tell me if there is any output if you run from the g_serial commandline?
Which system/macos are you using? did you use the provided prefs file? Do the prefs,rom & hfv combination work on windows BasiliskII?
Thanks

​

By the G_serial command line, do you mean a serial terminal? If so, I don't have a cable. I was using Mac OS 8.0, and I used the provided prefs file. I haven't tested the prefs rom & hfv combination on windows because basilisk doesnt work in Windows XP 64 bit.

 

[pcklee123]

you can use g_serial without serial cable. Its using the USB (like a serial - usb coverter and then on the pc a USB to serial converter. BTW which firmware are you using? Mine works on cramfs from oddbot and als the one which comes wit Qtopia from NK.
OS8 worked on mine. did you rename to disk.hfv? and the rom to rom? It quits if it cant find rom but it should show the disk missing icon if you start without disk

Anyone got any screenshots of this running on the gp2x?

starting up on GP2X


using TVout
Speedometer crashes if you do graphics test.
CPU 5x faster tham Mac classic and Math 31 times faster
FPU benchmarks 2 x of Mac II (1500 KWhetstones/sec)
Benchmark mix 12x faster than Mac classic

I am using 1.4.0 with networking support. I did rename both things.
