Yeah, sound! But now no 256 colors mode

Post by ctar »

Hi all, I built a screamer version of QEMU on linux based on this thread - the setup/image I was using would offer 256 color options, but the same config w/ screamer doesn't give that option, and games asking for 256 colors complain about this and won't run. Any ideas? I'm running with these options. Sound does work, BTW!

./qemu-system-ppc -L pc-bios -boot cd -M mac99 -m 512 -hda Macos9.s.img -g 1024x768x32 -cdrom os9.2.2_install.iso -netdev user,id=mynet0 -device sungem,netdev=mynet0

Hi,

You can try to copy the file qemu_vga.ndrv from the pc-bios folder of your no-sound build into the pc-bios folder of your sound-enabled build.

Best,
