Some features of Basilisk II: |

|
- Emulates either a Mac Classic (which runs MacOS 0.x thru 7.5) |

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 |
+ |
|
| 300 |
|
seriala <serial port description> |
| 301 |
|
|
| 302 |
|
This item describes the serial port to be used as Port A (Modem Port) |
| 524 |
|
error alerts. All errors will then be reported to stdout. The default |
| 525 |
|
is "false". |
| 526 |
|
|
| 527 |
+ |
keyboardtype <keyboard-id> |
| 528 |
+ |
|
| 529 |
+ |
Specifies the keyboard type that BasiliskII should report to the MacOS. |
| 530 |
+ |
The default is "5" which is a "Apple Extended Keyboard II (ISO)", |
| 531 |
+ |
but many other numbers are understood by most versions of the MacOS |
| 532 |
+ |
(e.g. 11 is a "Macintosh Plus Keyboard with keypad", |
| 533 |
+ |
13 is a "Apple PowerBook Keyboard (ISO)" ) |
| 534 |

|
|
| 537 |
|
|
| 576 |
|
the number of key events sent to MacOS for each wheel movement (the |
| 577 |
|
number of lines to scroll). |
| 578 |
|
|
| 579 |
+ |
ignoresegv <"true" or "false"> |
| 580 |
+ |
|
| 581 |
+ |
Set this to "true" to ignore illegal memory accesses. The default |
| 582 |
+ |
is "false". This feature is only implemented on the following |
| 583 |
+ |
platforms: Linux/x86, Linux/ppc, Darwin/ppc. |
| 584 |
+ |
|
| 585 |
+ |
dsp <device name> |
| 586 |
+ |
mixer <device name> |
| 587 |
+ |
|
| 588 |
+ |
Under Linux and FreeBSD, this specifies the devices to be used for sound |
| 589 |
+ |
output and volume control, respectively. The defaults are "/dev/dsp" and |
| 590 |
+ |
"/dev/mixer". |
| 591 |
+ |
|
| 592 |
|
AmigaOS: |
| 593 |
|
|
| 594 |
|
sound <sound output description> |
| 686 |
|
false. |

JIT-specific configuration |
| 690 |
+ |
-------------------------- |
| 691 |
+ |
|
| 692 |
+ |
A Just-In-Time (JIT) translation engine is available for x86. This is |
| 693 |
+ |
aimed at translating 68040 instructions to native equivalent code |
| 694 |
+ |
sequences, thus providing faster emulation speeds. |
| 695 |
+ |
|
| 696 |
+ |
jit <"true" or "false"> |
| 697 |
+ |
|
| 698 |
+ |
Set this to "true" to enable the JIT compiler. Default value is |
| 699 |
+ |
"true" if the JIT compiler was compiled in. Besides, this is |
| 700 |
+ |
effective only if Basilisk II is configured to emulate a 68040. |
| 701 |
+ |
|
| 702 |
+ |
jitfpu <"true" or "false"> |
| 703 |
+ |
|
| 704 |
+ |
Set this to "true" to enable translation of floating-point (FPU) |
| 705 |
+ |
instructions. Default is "true". |
| 706 |
+ |
|
| 707 |
+ |
jitcachesize <size> |
| 708 |
+ |
|
| 709 |
+ |
Allocate "size" kilobytes of RAM for the translation cache. The |
| 710 |
+ |
value given will be rounded down to the nearest multiple of a page |
| 711 |
+ |
size. Minimal value is "2048" (2MB). Default value is "8192" (8MB). |
| 712 |
+ |
|
| 713 |
+ |
jitlazyflush <"true" or "false"> |
| 714 |
+ |
|
| 715 |
+ |
Set this to "true" to enable lazy invalidation of the translation |
| 716 |
+ |
cache. This is always recommended as it usually makes the system |
| 717 |
+ |
more responsive and faster, especially while running MacOS |
| 718 |
+ |
8.X. Default value is "true". |
| 719 |
+ |
|
| 720 |
+ |
jitdebug <"true" or "false"> |
| 721 |
+ |
|
| 722 |
+ |
Set this to "true" to enable the JIT debugger. This requires a |
| 723 |
+ |
build of Basilisk II with the cxmon debugger. Default is "false". |

You can contact me at <Christian.Bauer@uni-mainz.de>. Don't send bug |
| 872 |
< |
reports, send fixes. Ports to other platforms are also very welcome. |
| 873 |
< |
Please contact me before you intend to make major changes to the source. |
| 874 |

You might be working on something that I have already done, or I may have |
| 875 |

different ideas about the Right Way to do it. |
| 876 |

|
| 877 |

Questions about ROM files will not be answered. There is also no point in |
| 878 |
< |
sending me questions etc. that are specific to the Windows port of |
| 879 |
< |
Basilisk II. I don't have Windows and can't say anything about that. |
| 880 |
< |
Ask Lauri Pesonen instead. |

You can contact me at <Christian.Bauer@uni-mainz.de>, but please don't do |

so unless absolutely necessary. I'm maintaining Basilisk II in my spare |

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