Re: Shoebill - a Macintosh II + A/UX emulator for OS X

…there seems to be an issue with NSOpenGL, as libshoebill is drawing at half scale in the full scale window on my Retina screen. This is due to the fact that NSOpenGLView.wantsBestResolutionOpenGLSurface defaults to true if the app is linked against 10.15 or later. Either set NSOpenGLView.wantsBest...

Re: Programming my own Mac emulator

How did you do the install? What 8.6 installer did you use? It was an installer from the Macintosh Repository. I know it's a custom-made CD image because it includes installers for software released after 8.6 was released (I know CarbonLib 1.6 wasn't released back then). Although the 8.5.1 image I ...

Re: Programming my own Mac emulator

Just been fiddling with DingusPPC. It's amazing how far it's come. Some things I noticed (and you are probably aware of): As I remembered, the G3 ROM has color icons. :mrgreen: I'm able to boot from a floppy with a 7200/120 ROM, but I can't get to the Happy Mac if there's either a CD-ROM or hard dri...

Re: Programming my own Mac emulator

From my understanding, Old World Macs (at least those that had a PCI bus) had a stripped-down version of Open Firmware.

Re: MACE: an New Classic Mac emulator project

A similar project is Executor. You can find a more up-to-date fork here.

Re: Proposition: GUI for QEMU

There's also Q/Kju by Mike Kronenberg, which I have forked. However, it is massively outdated.

Re: New Classic Mac emulator project

My idea for a name for Executor (on the Mac, at least) would have been NeoClassic.

That said, Autc04's fork is developing at quite a pace. He's also working on PowerPC emulation and support.

That said, his syn68k fork also compiles for 64-bit architectures.

Re: Executor Compiled for Linux

Nice! How much work would it be to cross compile to BSD and OS X? It appears that has happened already: https://github.com/MaddTheSane/executor I can say with certainty that that fork won't work. You'd have better luck with the fork here . It even has a rootless mode if compiled with the Qt back-end.

Re: GSOC qemu Boot Mac OS >= 8.5 on PowerPC system

The NSRunAlertPanel deprecations can be replaced with creating an NSAlert object and setting the variables, then calling -[NSAlert runModal]. [menu setDelegate: [NSApp delegate]] can be replaced with [menu setDelegate: (QemuCocoaAppController*)[NSApp delegate]]; Also, my fork: https://github.com/Mad...

The key codes used by the system are mapped to defines found in Carbon.

Re: GSOC qemu Boot Mac OS >= 8.5 on PowerPC system

I have made a super version of the cocoa.m file. This file is the user interface file for QEMU on Mac OS X (if you use cocoa). [...] Hope this helps make QEMU a bit more easier to use. Happy New Years! Ooh, thanks for the Mac additions :D Although it looks like file strings are passed through cStri...

Re: GSOC qemu Boot Mac OS >= 8.5 on PowerPC system

Oh yes…
The emulation code in SheepShaver is a bit too old: It won't compile on a Mac with Lion or later (GCC isn't included, and llvm-gcc won't compile it, and Clang doesn't like some ASM directives used by SheepShaver).

Re: CD-Rom on Windows 7 64-bit?

Sorry, my bad.

I remember reading from either SheepShear or MacEmu about getting old drivers from a repository. I thought CDEnable was one of those drivers. Sorry for the misinformation

Re: CD-Rom on Windows 7 64-bit?

It looks to me that the source code to the cdenable driver is available on the MacEmu Github site. If someone was willing to build a 64-bit driver, it might be able to use CDs on a 64-bit version of Windows.

Re: SheepShaver for Windows not recognizing physical CD-ROMs

For those interested, the source for the cdenable.sys is available on the GitHub MacEmu source. However, there's no project files or makefiles, so those would need to be created.
