Re: System 7.1: Shift key does something strange

Hi there, I have noticed that, when emulating a System 7.1 capable Mac (Mac II CI, Quadra 800), pressing SHIFT sometimes makes the system emit a piercing sound and there's an small icon that looks like a pressed key appearing on the upper-right corner of the screen. Does not happen on System 6.x ap...

Re: Qemu-system-m68k macOS to run Mac OS 7-8 /AUX3.x /NetBSD

Is A/UX compatible with Mac games? Let's say I want to run Prince of Persia, or Lemmings, etc.. under A/UX. Do you guys know if they should work? I have read that A/UX is compatible with Mac apps, but there isn't a single word about games on A/UX anywhere. Rule of thumb: If a game can run on System...

Re: Mac System 7/8 games with smooth scrolling?

Best place to ask a question like this is probably Macintosh Garden. The one that comes to mind for me is Abuse by Bungie. There's also flight simulator games that "scroll" in all directions. And for System 6 era games, I believe Beyond Dark Castle has some smooth scrolling action when you...

Re: Mouse Not Scrolling in Mac OS 9.2.2

Ever since I installed Qemu and Mac OS 9.2.2, it seems that I am unable to scroll in windows, and must resort to using the scroll bars. Is this a known bug in Qemu, or am I missing adding a string to the qema-ppc-command script, or does something need to be done within Mac OS 9.2.2 itself? You're u...

Re: A/UX AppleTalk information

If you're setting up an A/UX 3.x environment, it's probably best to use QEMU-M68k for that, as it supports SCSI and so theoretically should support HD SC Setup. This environment could then be used to set up the 1.1.1 target image and copy the iso contents over, and set the init. Then the result coul...

Thanks guys. I have finally settled down to using HFSUTILS (hmount, hmkdir, hcopy, humount).

Re: Help! Copying games from HFS volume to HFS volume on GNU/Linux

Personally I've switched to always assuming data fork only from the host system -- so for HFS-only img files, I'll just copy it into the guest image, then use ShrinkWrap, Disk Copy or Toast to mount the image internally. Disk Copy Image files, Stuffit files, Binhex files and MacBinary files may lose...

Interesting that the issue is consistently moving from 512 to 1024MB VRAM in the BIOS.

There's not really any reason to do that; you can just turn on CD sharing for the Mini and have the drive show up on a different Mac via the network.
