Re: Basilisk II sound doesn't work for games

What about the rom you are using? Did you try another one? Can you point us to the rom you now use?

Re: Latest SheepShaver version displays blurry image

You might try to manually edit your prefs file and add one of these (or both) lines:

scale_integer true
scale_nearest true

Re: MCL on Apple Silicon

Can MCL 5.1 even run on Mac OS 9.0? For PPC I see it needs Tiger or Leopard? It can also run using Rosetta.

Re: Qemu package and guide for Windows available

Hi,

How much of a performance hit do you see?

There seem to be multiple performance issues that gradually slow qemu down:
-usb-audio slows down the system as it constantly keeps the audio stream open. This can't be helped
-accel tcg,thread=multi,tb-size=8192,split-wx=off ^ should only be used when ...

Re: Qemu package and guide for Windows available

Hi,

It might very well be that the shared folder functionality in that build slows down Qemu. I haven't tested that.
With which command line are you running that build?

Can you point us to a norton utilities download?

Re: What am I doing wrong here?

If you downloaded the zip file, the solution is to first unzip the zip file.

You then get a .toast file. Rename it to .iso
Remove the spaces in the file name and add it like:

Re: Port forwarding in Sheepshaver

Lets recap:

You say you could redirect to the same port number to the host IP address when the port was below 1024 and when running as root.
I feel I should ask again: Are you absolutely sure that used to work?

The working examples you mention all use different ports for origin and destination of ...

Re: Port forwarding in Sheepshaver

How come you use redir tcp:22:51.222.85.183:22
and not redir tcp:22:10.0.2.15:22

As the redir is only useful when using slirp networking that sets the ip address to 10.0.2.15

To me it looks like you are redirecting directly to your external ip address?

I guess how this should work: redir port 22 ...

Re: Qemu-system-m68k-Win64 to run Mac OS 7-8 / AUX3.x / NetBSD

Hi,

The Command and Option keys are reversed but the Windows menu does not show up when the mouse is captured in the Qemu window and you press the Windows (Command) key.
So you can type Command + .

Or does that not work in your Qemu-system-m68k?

Re: OS 9 in QEMU faster on M4 than PowerPC G4?

That is very difficult to answer. The FPU performance of Qemu is less compared to a real mac. How close you would get on a M4 or M5 is unknown.

But perhaps you might try one of those latest experimental builds that have multi-processor support.

Re: Some basic questions

Example:

In the prefs editor set the shared disk to Z:
After you configured Basilisk to your liking create a batch file to run BasiliskII.exe with this content:

Code: Select all

subst Z: C:\Shared
BasiliskII.exe
This lets the C:\Shared folder appear as drive Z.

Thanks,

I did notice that in OS X when playing an mp3 with Quicktime the sound could be garbled. However, after playing the same mp3 with iTunes first the mp3 would then play fine with Quicktime also. I don't know what causes that.

There is another experimental build in the second post in this thread.

It should fix the alias and program corruption when copied to and from the shared disk.
It allows running programs straight from the shared disk ;-)

Re: Qemu package and guide for OSX available

This path might not be correct: //Users/oepieke/Desktop/OS9

Try with a single slash before Users. Or better, open the command file and drag the folder you wish to share on your host to behind the path= so macOS pastes the folder name there.

the usb-audio works great even for be radio-stations via iTunes.
