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

Any chance of vertical resolutions? Hate me for this but I have a couple vertical screens. I guess it should be possible to rotate the screen in the OS. Also, please make sure that full-screen resolutions are indeed full screen, without having a few pixels chopped off thanks :) Windowed resolutions...

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

That's great news that it works in 7! That means it should work in my copy of CW 8 Pro too. I've been keeping 6 installed because it's the last version that supported 68k targets, but the VGA project wouldn't open in it. [edit] Hey...

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

My update on using qemu-system-ppc in KVM mode. The mouse seems to work very well. It is very fluid. Video playback is actually worse on KVM mode than it is in emulation mode on a Core 2 Duo. Audio is non-existent because of a bug with pulseaudio. I did report the bug. My KVM host is a 2 GHz iMac G5...

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

See the benchmarks in the other qemu thread - macbench was the major indicator; while benchmark apps designed for real hardware tend to not be accurate, SheepShaver and real hardware results are similar, while qemu FPU scores are abysmal. You weren't kidding. The very slow floating point unit might...

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

See my later comment... turns out that it's already using 16 bit integer for the USB driver, and that's all that is presented. Floating point to integer conversions do take place during the process of outputting audio data. How do you know that floating point conversion is slow in QEMU? Do you thin...

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

Did the sound output from JACK sound about the same as the USB sound card? Was the cracking sound present? Too bad this solution wouldn't work on Mac OS 9 guests. The JACK software is only available for Mac OS X. That's another reason that creating a virtual JACK device in the emulator is preferred...

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

Has anyone tried my suggestions of using JACK or similar to simply route the audio to the host? Since audio processing seems to work and it's just the output hardware we're lacking, this should enable output to the host. For that matter, JACK inegration in qemu should work, as it's OSS and cross-pl...

I can confirm a regression in the mouse control between QEMU 2.7.0 rc5 (built by Stefan) and QEMU 2.8-devel (built by Cat7). The mouse is harder to control in fullscreen, particularly when the user is trying to click and drag on an anything, including a window for the OS. In this case, I am using M...

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

Seems like the only significant thing left to do is the AWACS support, which allows both Mac OS and Mac OS X to play sound. It's moderately difficult to implement it, but all things considered, I think it's worth it now that we have networking up and running. It's really the only thing holding QEMU...

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

With SDL on in 64-bit Windows 10 and using any OpenBIOS image, the mouse is completely unusable. The mouse can move very erratically for a few seconds and then stops dead in its tracks. Often, that behavior is moving in a random direction and in a certain distance for every mouse movement. Eventual...
