Re: A super PowerBook 550c for $99.00

Added the latest google-chrome installation to the script.

Works very fast under Debian but is, unfortunately, outside of BasiliskII. Small price to pay I'd say... better than running Classilla and older browsers.

Re: Raspberry Pi4, BasiliskII performance - must use X!

Yes I have the pi3 running fine with 800x600 without X. The pi4 is the problem as the performance is dreadful unless launched via X. There may be a way to recompile SDL to take advantage of the acceleration, but I have not resolved it yet. How did you run Basilisk 2 at 800x600 without X. I could on...

Re: Raspberry Pi4, BasiliskII performance - must use X!

Hi both the pi3 and pi4 are built with sdl2. There is quite some debate online regarding the OpenGL drivers for the pi4. More energy has gone into X support. Running without X on the pi4 results in poor stuttering performance. If launched via X the performance is a lot better. As an update to the a...

I'd recommend some changes. Basilisk II actually emulates a Quadra 900 for the most part. So if you set it to use the Quadra 800 ROM and the 68040 CPU, you'll be in better shape. ROM info here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/ ... -Dk7QDyKPY
