AmigaOS: |
| 285 |
|
application via Alt-Tab, Basilisk II is put in "snooze" mode (i.e. MacOS |
| 286 |
|
is frozen). |
| 287 |
|
|
| 288 |
+ |
Mac OS X: |
| 289 |
+ |
The "video mode" is one of the following: |
| 290 |
+ |
win/<width>/<height> |
| 291 |
+ |
win/<width>/<height>/<bits per pixel> |
| 292 |
+ |
A refreshed (and buffered) Quartz window. |
| 293 |
+ |
full/<width>/<height> |
| 294 |
+ |
full/<width>/<height>/<bits per pixel> |
| 295 |
+ |
A CGDirectDisplay full screen mode. <bits> can currently be 8, 16 or 32. |
| 296 |
+ |
If not specified, the default is 32. There is currently no way to switch |
| 297 |
+ |
between the Mac OS X and Basilisk II display, but Apple-Option-Escape |
| 298 |
+ |
instantly and safely terminates the Basilisk II program. |
| 299 |

seriala <serial port description> |

|
|
| 302 |

This item describes the serial port to be used as Port A (Modem Port) |

The "ethernet card description" is the name of an Ethernet interface. |

There are three approaches to networking with Basilisk II: |
| 366 |
|
|
| 367 |
|
1. Direct access to an Ethernet card via the "sheep_net" kernel module. |
| 368 |
|
The "ethernet card description" must be the name of a real Ethernet |
| 432 |
|
your network administrator about the nets and zones you can use |
| 433 |
|
(instead of the ones given in the example above). |
| 434 |
|
|
| 435 |
+ |
3. Access the network through a "tuntap" interface. |
| 436 |
+ |
The "ethernet card description" must be set to "tun". |
| 437 |
+ |
|
| 438 |
+ |
TUN/TAP provides packet reception and transmission for user |
| 439 |
+ |
space programs. It can be viewed as a simple Point-to-Point |
| 440 |
+ |
or Ethernet device, which instead of receiving packets from a |
| 441 |
+ |
physical media, receives them from user space program and |
| 442 |
+ |
instead of sending packets via physical media writes them to |
| 443 |
+ |
the user space program. |
| 444 |
+ |
|
| 445 |
+ |
A virtual network configuration script is required and the |
| 446 |
+ |
default is /usr/local/BasiliskII/tunconfig unless you specify |
| 447 |
+ |
a different file with the "etherconfig" item. |
| 448 |
+ |
|
| 449 |
+ |
This script requires you that "sudo" is properly configured |
| 450 |
+ |
so that "/sbin/ifconfig" and "/sbin/iptables" can be executed |
| 451 |
+ |
as root. Otherwise, you can still write a helper script which |
| 452 |
+ |
invokes your favorite program to enhance a user priviledges. |
| 453 |
+ |
e.g. in a KDE environment, kdesu can be used as follows: |
| 454 |
+ |
|
| 455 |
+ |
#!/bin/sh |
| 456 |
+ |
exec /usr/bin/kdesu -c /path/to/tunconfig $1 $2 |
| 457 |
+ |
|
| 458 |
|
FreeBSD: |
| 459 |
|
The "ethertap" method described above also works under FreeBSD, but since |
| 460 |
|
no-one has found the time to write a section for this manual, you're on |
| 547 |
|
error alerts. All errors will then be reported to stdout. The default |
| 548 |
|
is "false". |
| 549 |
|
|
| 550 |
+ |
keyboardtype <keyboard-id> |
| 551 |
+ |
|
| 552 |
+ |
Specifies the keyboard type that BasiliskII should report to the MacOS. |
| 553 |
+ |
The default is "5" which is a "Apple Extended Keyboard II (ISO)", |
| 554 |
+ |
but many other numbers are understood by most versions of the MacOS |
| 555 |
+ |
(e.g. 11 is a "Macintosh Plus Keyboard with keypad", |
| 556 |
+ |
13 is a "Apple PowerBook Keyboard (ISO)" ) |

|
|

|
|
| 599 |
|
the number of key events sent to MacOS for each wheel movement (the |
| 600 |
|
number of lines to scroll). |
| 601 |
|
|
| 602 |
+ |
ignoresegv <"true" or "false"> |
| 603 |
+ |
|
| 604 |
+ |
Set this to "true" to ignore illegal memory accesses. The default |
| 605 |
+ |
is "false". This feature is only implemented on the following |
| 606 |
+ |
platforms: Linux/x86, Linux/ppc, Darwin/ppc. |
| 607 |
+ |
|
| 608 |
+ |
dsp <device name> |
| 609 |
+ |
mixer <device name> |
| 610 |
+ |
|
| 611 |
+ |
Under Linux and FreeBSD, this specifies the devices to be used for sound |
| 612 |
+ |
output and volume control, respectively. The defaults are "/dev/dsp" and |
| 613 |
+ |
"/dev/mixer". |
| 614 |
+ |
|
| 615 |
|
AmigaOS: |
| 616 |
|
|
| 617 |
|
sound <sound output description> |
| 709 |
|
false. |

JIT-specific configuration |
| 713 |
+ |
-------------------------- |
| 714 |
+ |
|
| 715 |
+ |
A Just-In-Time (JIT) translation engine is available for x86. This is |
| 716 |
+ |
aimed at translating 68040 instructions to native equivalent code |
| 717 |
+ |
sequences, thus providing faster emulation speeds. |
| 718 |
+ |
|
| 719 |
+ |
jit <"true" or "false"> |
| 720 |
+ |
|
| 721 |
+ |
Set this to "true" to enable the JIT compiler. Default value is |
| 722 |
+ |
"true" if the JIT compiler was compiled in. Besides, this is |
| 723 |
+ |
effective only if Basilisk II is configured to emulate a 68040. |
| 724 |
+ |
|
| 725 |
+ |
jitfpu <"true" or "false"> |
| 726 |
+ |
|
| 727 |
+ |
Set this to "true" to enable translation of floating-point (FPU) |
| 728 |
+ |
instructions. Default is "true". |
| 729 |
+ |
|
| 730 |
+ |
jitcachesize <size> |
| 731 |
+ |
|
| 732 |
+ |
Allocate "size" kilobytes of RAM for the translation cache. The |
| 733 |
+ |
value given will be rounded down to the nearest multiple of a page |
| 734 |
+ |
size. Minimal value is "2048" (2MB). Default value is "8192" (8MB). |
| 735 |
+ |
|
| 736 |
+ |
jitlazyflush <"true" or "false"> |
| 737 |
+ |
|
| 738 |
+ |
Set this to "true" to enable lazy invalidation of the translation |
| 739 |
+ |
cache. This is always recommended as it usually makes the system |
| 740 |
+ |
more responsive and faster, especially while running MacOS |
| 741 |
+ |
8.X. Default value is "true". |
| 742 |
+ |
|
| 743 |
+ |
jitdebug <"true" or "false"> |
| 744 |
+ |
|
| 745 |
+ |
Set this to "true" to enable the JIT debugger. This requires a |
| 746 |
+ |
build of Basilisk II with the cxmon debugger. Default is "false". |
