Overview |

|
-------- |
| 17 |
|
|

< |
Basilisk II is a free, portable, Open Source 68k Mac emulator. It requires |
| 19 |
< |
a copy of a Mac ROM and a copy of MacOS to run. Basilisk II is freeware and |
| 20 |

Basilisk II is an Open Source 68k Macintosh emulator. That is, it enables |
| 19 |
> |
you to run 68k MacOS software on you computer, even if you are using a |
| 20 |
> |
different operating system. However, you still need a copy of MacOS and |
| 21 |
> |
a Macintosh ROM image to use Basilisk II. |

|
Basilisk II has currently been ported to the following systems: |
| 24 |
|
- BeOS R4 (PowerPC and x86) |
| 25 |
< |
- Unix (tested under Linux, Solaris 2.5, FreeBSD 3.x and IRIX 6.5) |

- Unix (tested under Linux, Solaris 2.5, FreeBSD 3.x, NetBSD 1.4.2 and |
| 26 |
> |
IRIX 6.5) |
| 27 |
|
- AmigaOS 3.x |
| 28 |
|
- Windows NT 4.0 (mostly works under Windows 95/98, too) |
| 29 |
|
|
| 42 |
|
- Serial drivers |
| 43 |
|
- SCSI Manager (old-style) emulation |
| 44 |
|
- Emulates extended ADB keyboard and 3-button mouse |
| 45 |
< |
- Uses UAE 68k emulation or (under AmigaOS) real 68k processor |

The emulator is not yet complete. See the file "TODO" for a list of |
| 49 |
|
unimplemented stuff. |

BeOS: |

|
It doesn't matter what you give as "ethernet card description", Basilisk II |
| 329 |
|
will always use the first Ethernet card it finds as long an an "ether" |
| 330 |
< |
line exists (e.g. say "ether yes"). As Basilisk II requires the sheep_net |
| 331 |
< |
net server add-on from SheepShaver, you can only use Ethernet on PowerPC |
| 332 |
< |
machines. |

| 331 |

Net Server add-on to be installed. The first time you start Basilisk II |
| 332 |
> |
with Ethernet enabled you will be asked whether it's OK to make the |
| 333 |

necessary changes to your BeOS network configuration to enable sheep_net. |

Linux: |
| 336 |
|
The "ethernet card description" is the name of an Ethernet interface. |
| 352 |
|
configure your kernel to enable routing and the ethertap device: |
| 353 |
|
under "Networking options", enable "Kernel/User netlink socket" and |
| 354 |
|
"Netlink device emulation", under "Network device support", activate |
| 355 |
< |
"Ethertap network tap". You also have to modify devices/net/ethertap.c |
| 355 |
> |
"Ethertap network tap". You also have to modify drivers/net/ethertap.c |
| 356 |
|
a bit before compiling the new kernel: |
| 357 |
|
|
| 358 |
|
- insert "#define CONFIG_ETHERTAP_MC 1" near the top (after the |
| 417 |
|
For refreshed graphics modes (usually window modes), this specifies |
| 418 |
|
how many frames to skip after drawing one frame. Higher values make |
| 419 |
|
the video display more responsive but require more processing power. |
| 420 |

The default is "8". |

mousewheelmode <mode> |
| 485 |
+ |
|
| 486 |
+ |
If you have a mouse with a wheel, this option specifies whether moving |
| 487 |
+ |
the wheel will be reported to the MacOS as "Page up/down" (mode 0) or |
| 488 |
+ |
"Cursor up/down" (mode 1) keys. |
| 489 |
+ |
|
| 490 |
+ |
mousewheellines <number of lines> |
| 491 |
+ |
|
| 492 |
+ |
If "mousewheelmode" is set to mode 1 (Cursor up/down), this option sets |
| 493 |
+ |
the number of key events sent to MacOS for each wheel movement (the |
| 494 |
+ |
number of lines to scroll). |
