Overview |
| 45 |
|
unimplemented stuff. |
| 46 |
|
|
| 47 |
|
|
| 48 |
< |
Requirements |
| 49 |
< |
------------ |
| 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 |
< |
|

< |
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." |

----------------------------- |
| 50 |
|
|
| 51 |
< |
AmigaOS: |
| 52 |
< |
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. |
| 51 |
> |
Please consult the file "INSTALL" for a list of system requirements and |
| 52 |
> |
installation instructions. |

|
Configuration |
| 166 |
|
"scsi.device/2"). |
| 167 |
|
|
| 168 |
|
Windows: |
| 169 |
< |
Ignored. Basilisk II scans for all SCSI devices and the first 6 found |
| 170 |
< |
devices are made visible to the MacOS. You cannot explicitly enable a |
| 255 |
< |
device, but you can disable a device (see the "disablescsi" command). |
| 169 |
> |
The "SCSI target" has the format <"Vendor"> <"Model"> (e.g. |
| 170 |
> |
scsi0 "HP" "CD-Writer+ 7100"). Note the use of quotes. |
| 171 |
|
|
| 172 |
|
screen <video mode> |
| 173 |
|
|
| 197 |
|
Color display in an X11 window of the given size. The color depth |
| 198 |
|
(8/15/24 bit) depends on the depth of the underlying X11 screen. |
| 199 |
|
This is the default. |
| 200 |
< |
dga |
| 200 |
> |
dga/<width>/<height> |
| 201 |
|
Full-screen display using the X11 DGA extensions. The color depth |
| 202 |
|
(8/15/24 bit) depends on the depth of the underlying X11 screen. |
| 203 |
< |
For DGA to work, Basilisk II must be compiled with DGA support |
| 204 |
< |
enabled (selectable in the configure script). |
| 203 |
> |
"width" and "height" specify the maximum width/height to use. |
| 204 |
> |
Saying "dga/0/0" means "complete screen". For DGA to work, Basilisk II |
| 205 |
> |
must be compiled with DGA support enabled (selectable in the configure |
| 206 |
> |
script). |
| 207 |
|
|
| 208 |
|
AmigaOS: |
| 209 |
|
The "video mode" is one of the following: |
| 469 |
|
|
| 470 |
|
Note the use of quotes. |
| 471 |
|
|
| 472 |
< |
disablescsi <"Vendor"> <"Model"> |
| 472 |
> |
rightmouse <0/1> |
| 473 |
|
|
| 474 |
< |
Disables this vendor/model combination. You may need this simply because |
| 475 |
< |
you have more than 6 SCSI devices, or the particular device has problems |
| 476 |
< |
under BasiliskII. E.g. |
| 474 |
> |
Defines what the right mouse button is used for. The default values of 0 |
| 475 |
> |
means that it is used to move windowed mode BasiliskII screen. |
| 476 |
> |
Value 1 sends a combination Control and mouse click to the MacOS. |
| 477 |
> |
This may be useful under OS versions 8 and above. |
| 478 |
|
|
| 479 |
< |
disablescsi "HP" "CD-Writer+ 7100" |
| 480 |
< |
|
| 481 |
< |
Again, note the use of quotes. |
| 479 |
> |
keyboardfile <path> |
| 480 |
> |
|
| 481 |
> |
Defines the path of the customized keyboard code file. |
| 482 |
> |
|
| 483 |
> |
pollmedia <"true" or "false"> |
| 484 |
> |
|
| 485 |
> |
If true (default), tries to automatically detect new media. |
| 486 |
> |
Applies to all "floppy", "cd" or "disk" removable media except |
| 487 |
> |
1.44 MB floppies. May cause modest slow down. If unchecked, |
| 488 |
> |
use Ctrl-Shift-F11 to manually mount new media. |
| 489 |
> |
If you have auto-insert notification (AIN) enabled, you may turn this |
| 490 |
> |
option off. Note that some CD related software require AIN, |
| 491 |
> |
and some other need it to be turned off. Consult the documentation |
| 492 |
> |
of your CD software to learn which one is optimal for you. |
| 493 |
> |
|
| 494 |
> |
framesleepticks <milliseconds> |
| 495 |
> |
|
| 496 |
> |
The amount of time between video frames. |
| 497 |
> |
|
| 498 |
> |
showfps <true/false> |
| 499 |
> |
|
| 500 |
> |
If true, the real frame rate is displayed. |
| 501 |
> |
|
| 502 |
> |
stickymenu <true/false> |
| 503 |
> |
|
| 504 |
> |
If true, the main menu bar is kept open even after the mouse button is released, |
| 505 |
> |
under all OS versions (OS 8 has this feature already). There are extensions to do |
| 506 |
> |
the same thing, but it's faster to handle this in native code. |
| 507 |
> |
Default is "true". |
