Some features of Basilisk II: |
| 32 |
|
- Emulates either a Mac Classic (which runs MacOS 0.x thru 7.5) |

|
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) [and very slow] Quartz window. |
| 293 |
+ |
The default <bits> is 32, which is the only depth currently supported. |
| 294 |
+ |
full/<width>/<height> |
| 295 |
+ |
full/<width>/<height>/<bits per pixel> |
| 296 |
+ |
A CGDirectDisplay full screen mode. <bits> can currently be 8, 16 or 32. |
| 297 |
+ |
If not specified, the default is 32. There is currently no way to switch |
| 298 |
+ |
between the Mac OS X and Basilisk II display, but Apple-Option-Escape |
| 299 |
+ |
instantly and safely terminates the Basilisk II program. |
| 300 |
+ |
opengl/<width>/<height> |
| 301 |
+ |
opengl/<width>/<height>/<bits per pixel> |
| 302 |
+ |
Currently unimplemented, will be a fast windowed mode. |
| 303 |

|
| 304 |
|
seriala <serial port description> |
| 305 |
|
|
| 306 |
|
This item describes the serial port to be used as Port A (Modem Port) |
| 572 |
|
the number of key events sent to MacOS for each wheel movement (the |
| 573 |
|
number of lines to scroll). |
| 574 |
|
|
| 575 |
+ |
ignoresegv <"true" or "false"> |
| 576 |
+ |
|
| 577 |
+ |
Set this to "true" to ignore illegal memory accesses. The default |
| 578 |
+ |
is "false". This feature is only implemented on the following |
| 579 |
+ |
platforms: Linux/x86, Linux/ppc, Darwin/ppc. |
| 580 |
+ |
|
| 581 |
+ |
dsp <device name> |
| 582 |
+ |
mixer <device name> |
| 583 |
+ |
|
| 584 |
+ |
Under Linux and FreeBSD, this specifies the devices to be used for sound |
| 585 |
+ |
output and volume control, respectively. The defaults are "/dev/dsp" and |
| 586 |
+ |
"/dev/mixer". |

You can contact me at <Christian.Bauer@uni-mainz.de>. Don't send bug |
| 829 |
< |
reports, send fixes. Ports to other platforms are also very welcome. |
| 830 |

Please contact me before you intend to make major changes to the source. |

You might be working on something that I have already done, or I may have |

different ideas about the Right Way to do it. |
| 833 |

|
| 834 |

Questions about ROM files will not be answered. There is also no point in |
| 835 |
< |
sending me questions etc. that are specific to the Windows port of |
| 836 |
< |
Basilisk II. I don't have Windows and can't say anything about that. |
| 837 |
< |
Ask Lauri Pesonen instead. |

BeOS and AmigaOS. If you are using any other operating system, there's |

no point in asking me how to to X or why Y doesn't work because I won't |

I don't have Windows and can't answer your questions and I'm too lazy to |

forward mail to Lauri myself. In any case, it would probably be better |

to post your questions to a public forum as it will get a much wider |
