Re: Mac OS 7.1 - MacsBug 6.2
As far as I know, the only version of Basilisk II that works with MacsBug is Windows build 142. And even then, it only works under the right set-up, and you'll still get error messages on each time you enter or step. I think it was due to a missing implementation for a MOVE to/from SR instruction.

The command line parser is including all of the options in the file name path.
Try putting the file= at the end instead of at the beginning:

Re: calculating problem with may 2019 BII
Odd; 68040 has an FPU built-in, so there should be no situation where someone has an 040 without FPU. This means either we've got a setting for a fictional configuration, or 68040 with no fpu still attempts FPU, making it a misleading configuration. There were Macs shipped with a 68LC040. My Perfor...

Re: Sorry if this is a stupid question
Copying to the Mac OS system desktop requires holding down the option key when dragging. Unlike Windows, Mac OS makes a Desktop Folder for every disk volume, and by default the Finder will move the file within the volume. The option key tells the Finder to necessarily copy instead of move (at least ...

Re: How to configure Power Button in Basilisk II and SheepSh
I remember being able to configure the power button to F15 for build 142 years ago, and it worked, being able to enter MacsBug via Alt-F15. (The incomplete 68k CPU emulation broke instruction stepping in MacsBug, but having a debugger is better than not having one.) As far as I know, the problem her...

Re: Nativized APIs that look like QD and sound like SM
One final update here.

Much of the PICT results are pixel-for-pixel identical to QuickDraw rendering with the lat...

Re: Black Screen With 256 Colors
Possibly it has something to do with how the ROM allocates memory for video RAM; could be a related bug in BII, or just that the original hardware couldn't handle that. The ROMs supported by Basilisk II always expect the allocation to be in hardware (VRAM). (Only the earliest ROMs allocated this me...

Re: Wolfenstein 3D Problems
SoftwareFPU is not necessary here. Wolfenstein 3D uses the software-based SANE (Standard Apple Numerics Environment) for floating-point calculations. The problem lies in the fact that SANE utilizes the FPU when it’s available, so the bugs in an FPU can be reflected anywhere floating-point calculatio...

Re: Wolfenstein 3D Problems
Wolfenstein 3D uses floating-point calculations to build the trig tables (needed for rendering and movement), which if these fail (namely with Mini vMac), the game will render horribly and eventually crash.
Try turning 68K FPU emulation off ("fpu false").

It depends on the build and keyboard you’re using. Left-Windows as Option works with my Dell keyboard, running 8.1. Rarely is there an issue with builds 142 and 143, but the start screen also comes up with the SDL builds. It may be that SDL doesn’t have all of the keys mapped. What keyboard are you ...

The emulator doesn’t really do drag & drop with the native system. And the only thing it opens (from the command line or dropping a file onto the program icon) is allow the user to select a system ROM to load, not a document (such a web page). Use the Virtual Desktop folder to copy files. It s...

Though GFX boards have been implemented for other emulated platforms due to frequency of use (such as consoles, PlayStation, N64), I wouldn’t expect projects to go that far in this area (old Macs).

Re: need more memory
Ram Size Lowering the Minimum Size for the program might not be a good idea, as any given program may need as much (too low and it will crash). (And 15,000 KB is quite a lot for a 68K app.) You should increase the RAM size for the emulator instead—at least 8 MB more than that minimum so the OS has ...

Re: Speed Control Extension?
If it doesn't work in vMac, it's unlikely to work in BII/SS. However, you could probably use something like screen refresh rate to limit speed to some degree. The refresh rate limit for B2/SS exists to speed up emulation, not slow it down, updating the screen less so drawing takes fewer CPU cycles....
