Re: Saturday: First Ever (Maybe) Internet MazeWars+ Tourname

That sounds like an extremely good fit for archive.org -- do you have an account on there? Jason's the main curator, but those of us with accounts can add files and written content as well. The big thing would be deploying your framework on top of archive.org, which I think would be an excellent fit...

Re: GSOC qemu Boot Mac OS >= 8.5 on PowerPC system

Do the older builds have the same issues? Just wondering if we can pin this down to a refactoring issue, or if it is indeed something still unimplemented. From the fact that when using a raw device it appears to be hit and miss, I'd guess this isn't in the emulation itself, but more likely in the Op...

Re: QEMU Mac OS 9 and X Software Compatibility List

Noted; I'm attempting to find the edges of what is currently supported. qemu gets as far as loading the application, even though it has no JOY; I'm thinking OpenBIOS likely needs to throw an error instead of loading into memory and failing on the first instruction.

Re: QEMU Mac OS 9 and X Software Compatibility List

Just to test backwards compatability, I tested Pararena 2.0 -- doesn't work as of Aug 21 build of 2.8. This is a 68k game, so it's possible I need to adjust some parameters to get it to stop crashing.

But that's not really your ...

Re: SheepShaver Can't Open the Old World ROM from RedundantR

In your SheepShaver prefs, you need to ensure the ROM file is named exactly the way the file in your sheepshaver folder is named. By default this is “Mac OS ROM” (without the quotation marks and without a file name extension). Ensure that your ROM file has no file name extension, and no underscores.

Re: QEMU Mac Image Converter: tool for converting disk image

I considered using compressed images with a shadow copy, but then the shadow copy ends up being a single slice, so I'd be back to the problem of ever-growing Time Machine backups. I might try one that way just to see how the two methods compare.

Re: QEMU Mac Image Converter: tool for converting disk image

Good idea; I was going with simplicity on forcing array output and taking the first token, but perl parsing the block num will be safer, just in case hdiutil spits out something odd. I wanted to avoid spitting out and parsing the XML they recommend, although I think the XML output includes the block...

To explain what's going on a bit more: wireshark sets your ethernet packet capture to promiscuous mode, which means it captures all packets on the wire. It then saves all packets that go to/from the ethernet adapter in a pcap file. Wireshark then has a number of filtering and visualization features ...

Re: BII support like in SheepShaver for self-contained bundl

Yes -- it's a quick hack. However, it's also a bit more subtle than that -- the xpram gets written back after the BII process is spun up, not after it quits. This means that any changes made during the initial boot process will be written back, but any changes made during execution will be reverted ...
