MAME and A/UX 2.0.1 - success?

Post by egrath »

Hi,

has anyone had success in installing A/UX 2.0.1 with MAME (0.287) on a emulated Mac IIci?

I followed the installation guide for 2.0 which is available on bitsavers, but soon after I start the installation process by running "A/UX Install" i get a "sh: Out of memory" error and the system immediately asks into which runlevel I want to boot.

Tried different emulated machines and also different A/UX 2.0.1 installation sets, but it makes no difference.

This is my latest configuration script used to start MAME:

Code: Select all

mame maciifx \
	-inipath ini \
	-keepaspect \
	-skip_gameinfo \
	-mouse \
	-cheat \
	-lowlatency \
	-unevenstretch \
	-resolution0 1120x840 \
	-window \
	-uimodekey F11 \
	-prescale 2 \
	-ramsize 32M \
	-fdc:0 35hd \
	-scsidma:scsi:6 harddisk \
	-hard1 ../aux/scsi6.raw \
${*}
Anyone any ideas?

With kind regards,
Egon

I'm not sure that it works yet; I seem to recall there were some bits that weren't yet implemented. But assuming things got/get fixed on the hardware emulation side, you'll also want to adjust your screen resolution to 800x600 and probably decrease your RAM.

I'm not sure which guide is on bitsavers, but the authoritative guide to setting up A/UX 2.0 on real hardware is here: https://aux-penelope.com/aux_2.0.htm
