I decided to see if that was the issue, so I reverted that particular change by making this tweak to src/mame/drivers/mac.cpp, lines 2373-2380: ROM_START( maciici ) ROM_REGION32_BE(0x80000, "bootrom", 0) // ROM_LOAD32_BYTE( "341-0736.um12", 0x000000, 0x020000, CRC(7a1906e6) SHA1(...

Well that's weird, since while I did get your hang during startup with the current 0.178, my 0.159 build boots and runs 7.5.3 Rev. 2 beautifully. Over here, anyway.

Do you get the hang with the binary I posted?

So, I decided to modernize my MESS build from the old build that I've had sitting on my hard drive, just to make sure no new issues have cropped up in the meantime which might account for the trouble that adespoton was having. Interestingly enough, it seems that MESS no longer exists as a separate e...

Also, even though they're all listed as working, I have yet to get any of them to boot anything above 6.0.8; 7.0 and higher hang shortly into the welcome screen boot process, even with extensions disabled. And the speed seems a bit slow, even though the debug reports Average speed: 99.75% when I te...

Been ages since I tried this, but I remember PoP1 working fine in Basilisk/SheepShaver. It's only PoP2 that misbehaves (and oddly enough, its demo version runs fine).

Still gives the unimplemented trap with 3.5 alpha, over here.

Sorry for the delay in getting back to this topic. I tried using mess with ~/mess/roms that contains maciici.zip. And in maciici.zip I use 368cadfe.rom, because my "$ mess maciici -lr" told me it required that ROM. Newer mess versions may require a maciici.zip with 341-0735.um11, 341-0736....

I was kidding, but thanks.

Just a word of warning: Prince of Persia 2 doesn't run very well in Basilisk or SheepShaver; the background music is badly garbled. It works much better in MESS, although that emulator is more difficult to set up.

adespoton wrote:There's no reason an emulator can't save state; it would be kind of pointless for Mini vMac though, as it can boot to the starting app in about the same amount of time as it could restore a saved state.

Hey, it'd be handy for cheating at Crystal Quest.

Key Caps was built-in way before System 7; I think it goes all the way to the original System 1.0, IIRC.

I think it is mainly ProgrammingKid who is looking into that. There is some sound support when you have an usb headset. I lastly tried with Mac OS 92. It can play the system sounds (in windows at normal speed, in OSX slower and with more "ticking"). But a quicktime movie crashed the syste...

Then I looked at the IDE file... CodeWarrior 5 !?!? I guess I could try and dig out my copy of CodeWarrior, but that's an XML file, and I don't recall my copy of CodeWarrior 10 using XML -- which means this must be something more recent. Ben Herrenschmidt will get his builds included in the qemu so...

To me, being able to run 9.2.2 is way more exciting than the early OS X versions, given that most software for 10.0-10.4 can be run easily enough just by running Snow Leopard in VMWare. A fully emulated 9.2.2, particularly one that's not crashing every five minutes like SheepShaver is wont to do, is...

If you don't mind your images being read-only, you could compress them and use the same trick to save even more space.

You'll probably get slightly better performance connecting to the block device instead of the character device, though. This is what I put in my qemu.command file: cd "$(dirname "$0")" DEVNUM=`hdiutil attach -nomount mac_hd.sparsebundle | perl -ne'if ($_ =~ /^\/dev\/disk([0-9]+)\...

You should be able to convert it to iso pretty easily in the Terminal. Just type 'df' without the quotes and hit Return, and you'll get a list of disks. Look at the right-hand column, "Mounted On", and find your CD there. Then, look at the left-hand column, "Filesystem", for that...

First thing to do is to determine what format the dotfile is in. It's most likely AppleDouble, but if it's something else (like a straight copy of the resource fork), it's good to know that before wasting time on an AppleDouble copy. What happens if you run the 'file' command on the dotfile? Alterna...

You could probably use this trick to install OS 9 straight from the CD, too, without having to image it first.

8| There seems to be some hidden irony in there that software is being written in Swift 3 to create properly partitioned disk images that are compatible with Mac OS 9, when hdiutil can't get it right. I'm going with the general policy that all new projects I make for the Mac are in Swift 3. More fu...

What I was doing was taking a properly formatted existing image, and copying the driver partition to slack space in the image I wanted to work. Sometimes this required an hdiutil resize of the existing partition first, which was annoying, and didn't always work very well. In those instances, someti...

I'm curious how you were doing it in the Terminal with just two steps. My first instinct was to try that with hdiutil and its "UNIVERSAL HD" layout, but it didn't work. It made the driver partitions, and put things in them, but OS 9 wasn't automounting the disk on the Desktop. The fact tha...

So, if you're like me, you might have some old disk images that you were using with SheepShaver, Basilisk II, Mini vMac, or another Mac emulator that contained things you wanted to test on OS 9 in QEMU, only to find that as a more faithful emulation of the old Mac hardware, QEMU is finicky about dis...

MicroMat's app doesn't have much applicability to 1980s hardware (particularly since it came out just this year and the source file with all the MacCheck references in it was last modified four years ago). It's much more likely to be this: https://support.apple.com/kb/TA30339?locale=en_US&viewlo...

Maze Wars+ would have been the big one. I'd actually been planning to port that to OS X for years—grabbed all the sound and graphic resources, but never actually coded it up. Kudos to you for actually doing it.

Other than Bolo, hmm. Is Spectre out of scope? Strategic Conquest maybe?
