Re: GSOC qemu Boot Mac OS >= 8.5 on PowerPC system
Take a look at the vga driver source.... https://github.com/ozbenh/QemuMacDrivers/blob/master/QemuVGADriver/src/QemuVga.c Best, Cat_7 Heh... my first reaction was "Great! That's an easy fix!" Which I promptly made. Then I looked at the IDE file... CodeWarrior 5 !?!? I guess I could try an...

Re: GSOC qemu Boot Mac OS >= 8.5 on PowerPC system
Hmm... I finally got to building OpenBIOS. Good news: it builds fine :) Bad news: having difficulty figuring out what to modify to get 1280x720 resolution -- mmolvideo.c hints at it, but I haven't quite figured it out yet. The vga and video files don't appear to have a hard-coded list of resolutions...

Re: How to use very old fonts in System 7?
You need a copy of Font/DA Mover. ResEdit could also do it, but I can't recall which resources you'd need to grab, as the issue is that the old font suitcases don't include some specific resources matching the FONT and FOND resources, IIRC. The OS uses these to handle the metadata for the fonts so i...

Re: Mini vMac Development Snapshots: June 2, June 12 2016
...and more news! As of August 28: Mini vMac 3.4.1 is out of beta! I presume that means the 3.5 branch has now moved from alpha to beta. This means that the stable Mac II build with audio is now in the official release stream (although the Plus is still the default download). Also, there's now a por...

Re: QEMU Mac OS 9 and X Software Compatibility List
The click/key issues you're describing are actually due to "stuck" keys when qemu grabs the keyboard. It doesn't always happen, and you can get out of it by switching modes and/or hitting the offending key a few times (can't remember whether that's while in host context or guest context). ...

Re: GSOC qemu Boot Mac OS >= 8.5 on PowerPC system
According to what enginox said, it looks like we're getting stuck in a loop on the modem port -- which kind of indicates it is sitting on the modem port waiting for an external device to connect to get to the OF prompt. So it looks really good; we just need to build the device tree and load a video ...

Any idea what's being held in r13 at the time? If we can backrace to what was loaded there and why, we can likely figure that part out.

What command-line values are you passing to qemu? This might help us figure out why you get the load error. The sample command line provided by Cat_7 should be enough to get things running, switching from d to c after initial install and removing the DVD parameter. For your other comments, I believe...

Re: GSOC qemu Boot Mac OS >= 8.5 on PowerPC system
That sounds like what I recall/what I was thinking. Once we see how g3beige performs, we can figure out what the next steps are for older devices that can use OF but don't have the new world device tree. More of the work is already done, and the work to be done is already understood. And it results ...

Pardon me for asking, but wouldn't a Wallstreet/PDQ Powerbook G3 ROM also work with sol. 2 (with a couple of modifications), seeing as it's the only other Mac OS X 10.0+ compatible machine that has an old world ROM?

Yet another problem: I managed to install Mac OS 9.0.4 on a hard disk using an install cd for the Power Mac G4 Cube, but when I try to boot up from the disk, qemu crashes. This happens with both the mac99 and the mac99p machines. Which qemu/OpenBIOS builds are you using? We appear to have 4 on the ...

Re: GSOC qemu Boot Mac OS >= 8.5 on PowerPC system
What's the error message part? What is it in response to?
I have to admit, I've never attempted to install the CLTs (or XCode) into an alternate location since it all got bundled as an App Store app. Too many things broke from my original toolchain every update.

Hopefully that's enough time to get a working qemu profile for ROM-based PowerPC Macs.

Re: GSOC qemu Boot Mac OS >= 8.5 on PowerPC system
I'd say that if you have the time and resources, do both 1 and 2, with 1 taking a higher priority to 2. This would be optimal solution (in terms of results) to the problem at hand here. If we don't have the time and resources, I'll gladly take 1 over 2. I agree here; I was basically proposing 2, wh...

Re: GSOC qemu Boot Mac OS >= 8.5 on PowerPC system
While OpenBIOS exist for this profile at QEMU, Apple doesn't support booting Oldworlds in this way, and as consequence MacOS ROM files don't have any resources, drivers or code to support any OldWorld system. In some sense, OpenBIOS was done for this profile only to allow FOSS *nix OSs to boot from...

Re: GSOC qemu Boot Mac OS >= 8.5 on PowerPC system
from what I can see, the qemu changes all look fine; it's just the most recent OpenBIOS changes that cause some problems. I'll try running David's 2.8WIP with the master OpenBIOS later today to see what sort of results that gives.

I just re-built with the qemu master git sources, and disk handling seems fine there. I haven't built openbios from scratch before, and it appears I'm missing a ppc cross-compiler :\ So I can't do any fine-grained tests there. More than willing to test multiple builds if someone throws the pre-built...

Do the older builds have the same issues? Just wondering if we can pin this down to a refactoring issue, or if it is indeed something still unimplemented.

Re: QEMU Mac OS 9 and X Software Compatibility List
Noted; I'm attempting to find the edges of what is currently supported. qemu gets as far as loading the application, even though it has no JOY; I'm thinking OpenBIOS likely needs to throw an error instead of loading into memory and failing on the first instruction.
