Hexxen II with Qemu

[Sebiohazard]

Goodnight all !

I saw that the PearPC show is closed it's a shame because I really like this emulator it is much faster than Qemu although the sound does not work but does not allow the launch of my game.

I tried Qemu to run Hexen II on System 9.2.1 (see my post here) unfortunately I got this error message:



Can anyone help me to make it work? Cheers

A Type 2 error is a memory address error -- the application can't access the memory the code is suggesting it access.

Have you tried increasing the app's maximum memory via the Get Info window?

Type 2 errors can also be caused by extension conflicts.

Also, how much memory have you allocated the OS in the emulator?

I put 512 MB for RAM with a G3 CPU... here is the command line:

Code: Select all

qemu-system-ppc-screamer.exe -L pc-bios -cpu G3 -boot c -M mac99 -m 512 -hda "Mac OS 9.2.1.img" -cdrom "d:\Games\Macintosh\Hexen II.iso"

That should be enough, I think. So how much are you allocating in OS 9 to Hexen II?

I do not understand the question ? How should I allocate memory to the game ? Doesn't this happen automatically ?

Use get info on the program and look at its recommended and required memory fields. You can make changes there.

Best,
