E-Maculation

Yep... I decided to try again to emulate mac and was successful :D . I have Os 8.1 running well and (almost)all is good.

I downloaded EVNova (my whole point of emulating mac ) and it all works fine except quicktime movies raise an unhandled expeption and quit the emulator.

Normal quicktime movies do this as well. I'm using QT 4.0.1 or similar. Is there any thing i can do to make movies play (would QT 3 work maybe?)? i know i can play EVN without them but i kinda wanna watch the cut scenes.

I've never tried the framebuffer settings for video. How do things work without it?

Quicktime 4.0.3 was the last version for 68k Macs. You can download it here: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=120067 (It might fix the problem you are experiencing if you have a previous version.)

Thats the version i'm running... and i am allways switching screen things back and forth... frame buffer seems to crash the least, although it still crashes at least once every 1/2 hour.

As I've never really played Nova, and I won't have access to my PC for awhile, I can't attest to the stability of Build 143 running QuickTime movies. I do know that the person who created Build 143 (Luari) says that it would be a little buggy. Once I get home, I'll try out your prefs on my PC and see if I can duplicate the problem and maybe find a solution.

Meanwhile, can anyone else vouch for the ability of Nova not crashing Basilisk II when QuickTime movies are played?

Well, I have not tried the EV Patch version of Basilisk, but I use Quicktime 4 and movies play just fine, they don't crash the emulator.

I'll test out the other version and see what happens.
