I can get color in the other bit-depths, but those run slooooow (as documented). When I select any other 8-bit display size, I only get grayscale (no color display). Other discussions in other forums indicate that Mac-handler will mount the Mac system disk as a folder in Workbench, but when I try that I get the message "device 'Mac:' is already mounted." It seems like Shapeshifter is using the same HDF files as the Amiga, so maybe that's why, but what other way could I access the Mac drives?Ģ.
#Basilisk ii needs disk how to
How can I transfer files into the Mac volumes? I can see the CH1 and CH2 hard files from Amiga Workbench, but I have no idea how to access their contents. I have two questions that I can't seem to figure out, maybe someone here already knows the answer:ġ. Wow, this is an amazing project, and was really pretty easy for me to get up and running- thanks meauxdal! In the case of the Mac image, has anyone tried manually setting the device (vice), unit (1 if 2nd device on 1st channel, 2 or 3 for the 2nd channel), and then firstsector=0, number of sectors = (filesize/512) - or mounting it as a ShapeShifter filedisk accessed over the shared filesystem, instead of as an Amiga drive?

The hardfiles that no longer work aren't images of complete hard drives, they're images of partitions. That's why the MaxTransfer problem cropped up with real hard drives, and (presumably) the new IDE subsystem isn't mimicking ATA-1 behaviour so it's happening again now. (It's not forbidden, just no longer mandated). Unfortunately that behaviour changed with ATA-2, and on command completion the taskfile doesn't have to contain the CHS address any more. The problem is in how it does that:Īfter the first set of blocks has completed, vice assumes that the hard drive's taskfile registers will contain the CHS address of the last block read (as per the ATA-1 spec), increments them by one and starts the next transaction. The IDE command set allows a maximum of just shy of 128k (0x1fe00) bytes to be transferred in a single command, so if MaxTransfer is higher than that, and you're accessing a chunk of a file that's larger than that, *and* your filesystem's not fragmented, so there are more bytes than that in a contiguous lump, then vice will read the data in two consecutive IDE commands. It's not that MaxTransfer's ignored or obeyed by anything - MaxTransfer is nothing more than the maximum number of bytes vice will attempt to transfer in a single transaction.

#Basilisk ii needs disk mac os
Ports of Basilisk II exist for multiple computing platforms, including AmigaOS 4, BeOS, Linux, Amiga, Windows NT, Mac OS X, MorphOS and mobile devices such as the PlayStation Portable.

Mac OS 8.5, which came out nine months later, was PowerPC-only and marked the end of Apple's 680x0 support. The latest version of Classic Mac OS that can be run within Basilisk II is Mac OS 8.1, the last 680x0-compatible version, released in January 1998.

: 37 Newer releases mitigated these problems, 2005 review of the MorphOS version noted only slow CPU emulation (in comparison to built-in 68k CPU emulation for Amiga applications in MorphOS) as a major issue. However, early reviews highlighted several issues like difficult configuration and limited compatibility with recommendation of ShapeShifter as a better choice for Amiga users. no limit for number of emulated disks, improved CD-ROM support and support for the host file system. how big to make it (if only making real hard disks were this easy). Now that we’ve named our new hard disk, we need to tell Basilisk II. 1MB ROM images (For more information on obtaining a Macintosh. Presently, Basilisk II supports many 512K and.
#Basilisk ii needs disk portable
New emulator should be highly portable across several computing platforms : 36 and provided some improvements in comparison to ShapeShifter - e.g. Recall that I stated earlier that Basilisk II needs a Mac ROM image in. In this case the host is the pseudo-POSIX file system that Emscripten creates, which has an API.
#Basilisk ii needs disk software
The software is cross-platform and can be used on a variety of operating systems.Ĭhristian Bauer (developer of a Mac 68k emulator ShapeShifter for Amiga) released the first version of Basilisk II in March 1999. Basilisk II supports mounting a directory from the host into the Mac (via the ExtFS module). Basilisk II is an emulator which emulates Apple Macintosh computers based on the Motorola 68000 series.
