Requirements |
| 51 |
< |
------------ |
| 50 |
< |
|
| 51 |
< |
To use Basilisk II, you need either a 512K Mac Classic ROM image or a |
| 52 |
< |
512K or 1MB 32-bit clean Macintosh ROM image. You also need a copy of MacOS |
| 53 |
< |
(0.x thru 7.5 for Classic emulation, 7.x or 8.0/8.1 for Mac II emulation). |
| 54 |
< |
For copyright reasons, none of these items are included with Basilisk II. |
| 55 |
< |
MacOS 7.5.3 and earlier versions can be downloaded from Apple and various |
| 56 |
< |
other Internet sites. Mac ROM files are not freely available. You have to |
| 57 |
< |
own a real Mac and read out its ROM. No, I don't know where you can download |
| 58 |
< |
ROM files. No, I won't send you one. |
| 59 |
< |
|
| 60 |
< |
Depending on the platform you use, Basilisk II has additional requirements: |
| 61 |
< |
|
| 62 |
< |
BeOS: |
| 63 |
< |
You need BeOS R4 or better. On a PowerPC system you also need the |
| 64 |
< |
"sheep" driver that comes with SheepShaver. To use Ethernet, you need |
| 65 |
< |
the "sheep_net" add-on that also comes with SheepShaver (both items |
| 66 |
< |
are included in the SheepShaver Trial Versions). The PowerPC version of |
| 67 |
< |
Basilisk II cannot do Mac Classic emulation. |
| 68 |
< |
|
| 69 |
< |
Unix: |
| 70 |
< |
You need X11R4, pthreads support and GNU make. To use the GUI preferences |
| 71 |
< |
editor, you also need GTK+ version 1.2 or better. On Linux, you need |
| 72 |
< |
glibc 2.0 or better. |
| 73 |
< |
|
| 74 |
< |
AmigaOS: |
| 75 |
< |
You need at least a 68020 and AmigaOS 3.0 or better. To get the GUI |
| 76 |
< |
preferences editor, you need gtlayout.library V39 or later. To get sound |
| 77 |
< |
output, you need AHI V2 or later. Both items can be found on Aminet. You |
| 78 |
< |
also need the "PrepareEmul" utility that somes with ShapeShifter (or any |
| 79 |
< |
equivalent PrepareEmul substitute). The AmigaOS version of Basilisk II |
| 80 |
< |
cannot do Mac Classic emulation. |
| 81 |
< |
|
| 82 |
< |
Windows: |
| 83 |
< |
You need at least Windows NT 4.0. Windows 95 and 98 can be used too, with a |
| 84 |
< |
somewhat reduced set of features. Basilisk II supports DirectX version 5 or |
| 85 |
< |
later, but version 3 may also work, depending on your graphics card. |
| 86 |
< |
|
| 87 |
< |
|
| 88 |
< |
Installation |
| 89 |
< |
------------ |
| 90 |
< |
|
| 91 |
< |
BeOS: |
| 92 |
< |
If you have a binary distribution of Basilisk II for BeOS, there are |
| 93 |
< |
executables for BeOS/PPC and BeOS/x86 included. If you have the source |
| 94 |
< |
distribution, cd to "src/BeOS", and type "make". Basilisk II cannot run |
| 95 |
< |
concurrently with SheepShaver. Trying to do so will crash Basilisk II, |
| 96 |
< |
or SheepShaver, or both. On a PowerPC system you must have installed the |
| 97 |
< |
"sheep" driver that comes with SheepShaver. To use Ethernet, you must have |
| 98 |
< |
installed the "sheep_net" add-on that also comes with SheepShaver |
| 99 |
< |
|
| 100 |
< |
Unix: |
| 101 |
< |
To compile Basilisk II, cd to "src/Unix", and type "./configure" followed |
| 102 |
< |
by "make" and (optionally) "make install". To use Ethernet networking under |
| 103 |
< |
Linux, you either have to configure your kernel for ethertap support or make |
| 104 |
< |
and install the "sheep_net" driver: cd to "src/Unix/Linux/NetDriver" and |
| 105 |
< |
type "make". This should produce a kernel module "sheep_net.o". Now su root |
| 106 |
< |
and type "./MAKEDEV" which will install the device node "/dev/sheep_net". |
| 107 |
< |
Then say "/sbin/insmod sheep_net.o" and the driver should be ready for use. |
| 108 |
< |
You should give appropriate access rights to /dev/sheep_net if you don't |
| 109 |
< |
want to run Basilisk II as root. |
| 110 |
< |
|
| 111 |
< |
This is what Brian J. Johnson says about compiling for IRIX: |
| 112 |
< |
"I recommend compiling with "-Ofast". This requires changing "-g" |
| 113 |
< |
to "-Ofast" in the Makefile, and adding "-ipa" to LDFLAGS. This |
| 114 |
< |
turns on massive interprocedural optimization, and makes for much |
| 115 |
< |
better performance." |

Requirements and Installation |
| 51 |
> |
----------------------------- |
| 52 |
|
|
| 53 |
< |
AmigaOS: |
| 54 |
< |
If you have a binary distribution of Basilisk II for AmigaOS, there is an |
| 119 |
< |
executable included. You must also have the "PrepareEmul" utility installed |
| 120 |
< |
that comes with ShapeShifter (or any equivalent PrepareEmul substitute, |
| 121 |
< |
see the ShapeShifter docs). If you have the source distribution, cd to |
| 122 |
< |
"src/AmigaOS" and type "smake". To recompile Basilisk II, you need SAS/C |
| 123 |
< |
6.58. Earlier versions may not work. |
| 124 |
< |
|
| 125 |
< |
Windows NT: |
| 126 |
< |
If you have a binary distribution of Basilisk II for Windows, there is a |
| 127 |
< |
Windows NT binary included. To access CD-ROMs under Windows NT, the driver |
| 128 |
< |
"cdenable.sys" must be copied to your "\WinNT\System32\drivers" directory. |
| 129 |
< |
To access CD-ROMs under Windows 9x, the driver "cdenable.vxd" must be copied |
| 130 |
< |
to the "\Windows\System" directory. To recompile Basilisk II, you need |
| 131 |
< |
MS Visual V++ 5.0 or later. Symantec C++ should work, too, with some |
| 132 |
< |
modifications. See the "sysdeps.h" file in the "Windows" directory. |
| 133 |
< |
|
| 134 |
< |
The ROM file has to be named "ROM" and put in the same directory as the |
| 135 |
< |
Basilisk II executable but you can specify a different location for the ROM |
| 136 |
< |
file with the "rom" option in the preferences file. |
| 53 |
> |
Please consult the file "INSTALL" for a list of system requirements and |
| 54 |
> |
installation instructions. |
| 55 |
|
|
| 56 |
|
|
| 57 |
|
Configuration |
| 139 |
|
installed CD-ROM drives. The format of the "CD-ROM drive description" |
| 140 |
|
is the same as that of "disk" lines. |
| 141 |
|
|
| 142 |
+ |
extfs <direcory path> |
| 143 |
+ |
|
| 144 |
+ |
This item specifies the root directory for the "Host Directory Tree" |
| 145 |
+ |
file system (the "Unix/BeOS/Amiga/..." icon on the Finder desktop). |
| 146 |
+ |
All objects contained in that directory are accessible by Mac applications. |
| 147 |
+ |
This feature is only available when File System Manager V1.2 or later |
| 148 |
+ |
is installed on the Mac side. FSM 1.2 is built-in beginning with MacOS 7.6 |
| 149 |
+ |
and can be installed as a system extension (downloadable from Apple, look |
| 150 |
+ |
for the FSM SDK in the developer section) for earlier MacOS versions. |
| 151 |
+ |
|
| 152 |
|
scsi0 <SCSI target> ... scsi6 <SCSI target> |
| 153 |
|
|
| 154 |
|
These items describe the SCSI target to be used for a given Mac SCSI |
| 178 |
|
"scsi.device/2"). |
| 179 |
|
|
| 180 |
|
Windows: |
| 181 |
< |
Ignored. Basilisk II scans for all SCSI devices and the first 6 found |
| 182 |
< |
devices are made visible to the MacOS. You cannot explicitly enable a |
| 255 |
< |
device, but you can disable a device (see the "disablescsi" command). |
| 181 |
> |
The "SCSI target" has the format <"Vendor"> <"Model"> (e.g. |
| 182 |
> |
scsi0 "HP" "CD-Writer+ 7100"). Note the use of quotes. |
| 183 |
|
|
| 184 |
|
screen <video mode> |
| 185 |
|
|
| 209 |
|
Color display in an X11 window of the given size. The color depth |
| 210 |
|
(8/15/24 bit) depends on the depth of the underlying X11 screen. |
| 211 |
|
This is the default. |
| 212 |
< |
dga |
| 213 |
< |
Full-screen display using the X11 DGA extensions. The color depth |
| 212 |
> |
dga/<width>/<height> |
| 213 |
> |
[if Basilisk II was configured with --enable-xf86-dga] |
| 214 |
> |
Full-screen display using the XFree86 DGA extension. The color depth |
| 215 |
|
(8/15/24 bit) depends on the depth of the underlying X11 screen. |
| 216 |
< |
For DGA to work, Basilisk II must be compiled with DGA support |
| 217 |
< |
enabled (selectable in the configure script). |
| 216 |
> |
"width" and "height" specify the maximum width/height to use. |
| 217 |
> |
Saying "dga/0/0" means "complete screen". |
| 218 |
> |
dga/<frame buffer name> |
| 219 |
> |
[if Basilisk II was configured with --enable-fbdev-dga] |
| 220 |
> |
Full-screen display using the frame buffer device /dev/fb. The color |
| 221 |
> |
depth (8/15/24 bit) depends on the depth of the underlying X11 screen. |
| 222 |
> |
The "frame buffer name" is looked up in the "fbdevices" file (whose |
| 223 |
> |
path can be specified with the "fbdevicefile" prefs item) to determine |
| 224 |
> |
certain characteristics of the device (doing a "ls -l /dev/fb" should |
| 225 |
> |
tell you what your frame buffer name is). |
| 226 |
|
|
| 227 |
|
AmigaOS: |
| 228 |
|
The "video mode" is one of the following: |
| 433 |
|
Unix: |
| 434 |
|
|
| 435 |
|
keycodes <"true" or "false"> |
| 436 |
< |
keycodefile <Keycode file path> |
| 436 |
> |
keycodefile <keycodes file path> |
| 437 |
|
|
| 438 |
|
By default, the X11 event handler in Basilisk II uses KeySyms to |
| 439 |
|
translate keyboard event to Mac keycodes. While this method is very |
| 444 |
|
not on the selected keymap. Unfortunately it depends on the X server |
| 445 |
|
being used and possibly also on the type of keyboard attached. So |
| 446 |
|
Basilisk II needs a table to translate X keycodes to Mac keycodes. |
| 447 |
< |
This table is read by default from /usr/local/lib/basilisk_ii_keycodes |
| 447 |
> |
This table is read by default from /usr/local/share/BasiliskII/keycodes |
| 448 |
|
unless you specify a different file with the "keycodefile" item. |
| 449 |
< |
A sample keycode file ("basilisk_ii_keycodes") is included with |
| 450 |
< |
Basilisk II. |
| 449 |
> |
A sample keycode file is included with Basilisk II. |
| 450 |
> |
|
| 451 |
> |
fbdevicefile <fbdevices file path> |
| 452 |
> |
|
| 453 |
> |
This option specifies the file that contains frame buffer device |
| 454 |
> |
specifications for the fbdev-DGA video mode (when Basilisk II was |
| 455 |
> |
configured with --enable-fbdev-dga). The default location of the file |
| 456 |
> |
is /usr/local/share/BasiliskII/fbdevices. A sample file is included |
| 457 |
> |
with Basilisk II. |
| 458 |
|
|
| 459 |
|
AmigaOS: |
| 460 |
|
|
| 495 |
|
|
| 496 |
|
Note the use of quotes. |
| 497 |
|
|
| 498 |
< |
disablescsi <"Vendor"> <"Model"> |
| 498 |
> |
rightmouse <0/1> |
| 499 |
|
|
| 500 |
< |
Disables this vendor/model combination. You may need this simply because |
| 501 |
< |
you have more than 6 SCSI devices, or the particular device has problems |
| 502 |
< |
under BasiliskII. E.g. |
| 500 |
> |
Defines what the right mouse button is used for. The default values of 0 |
| 501 |
> |
means that it is used to move windowed mode BasiliskII screen. |
| 502 |
> |
Value 1 sends a combination Control and mouse click to the MacOS. |
| 503 |
> |
This may be useful under OS versions 8 and above. |
| 504 |
|
|
| 505 |
< |
disablescsi "HP" "CD-Writer+ 7100" |
| 506 |
< |
|
| 507 |
< |
Again, note the use of quotes. |
| 505 |
> |
keyboardfile <path> |
| 506 |
> |
|
| 507 |
> |
Defines the path of the customized keyboard code file. |
| 508 |
> |
|
| 509 |
> |
pollmedia <"true" or "false"> |
| 510 |
> |
|
| 511 |
> |
If true (default), tries to automatically detect new media. |
| 512 |
> |
Applies to all "floppy", "cd" or "disk" removable media except |
| 513 |
> |
1.44 MB floppies. May cause modest slow down. If unchecked, |
| 514 |
> |
use Ctrl-Shift-F11 to manually mount new media. |
| 515 |
> |
If you have auto-insert notification (AIN) enabled, you may turn this |
| 516 |
> |
option off. Note that some CD related software require AIN, |
| 517 |
> |
and some other need it to be turned off. Consult the documentation |
| 518 |
> |
of your CD software to learn which one is optimal for you. |
| 519 |
> |
|
| 520 |
> |
framesleepticks <milliseconds> |
| 521 |
> |
|
| 522 |
> |
The amount of time between video frames. |
| 523 |
> |
|
| 524 |
> |
showfps <true/false> |
| 525 |
> |
|
| 526 |
> |
If true, the real frame rate is displayed. |
| 527 |
> |
|
| 528 |
> |
stickymenu <true/false> |
| 529 |
> |
|
| 530 |
> |
If true, the main menu bar is kept open even after the mouse button is released, |
| 531 |
> |
under all OS versions (OS 8 has this feature already). There are extensions to do |
| 532 |
> |
the same thing, but it's faster to handle this in native code. |
| 533 |
