Re: A/UX AppleTalk information

I finished an install of A/UX 2.0.1 onto a BlueSCSI disk image and booted into to it. A/UX 3.0.1 was done about a week ago. Still need to fight A/UX 1.1.1, it doesn't want to work right and KPs when switching to A/UX. I'll try some more this weekend: followed Penelope's instructions to the letter. ...

Adespoton, thank you very much for this! So there has actually been a little known solution to this problem for a number of years now. I just downloaded both files, and I am trying to figure out how to use Decode Applefile 1.1. I read the developers ReadMe file, but I am stilll a little confused, r...

Has anyone ever found a solution to this problem? So many years have gone by, and yet it still persists. There are certain files I want to add to my BBS in SheepShaver, but I can't, because of this AppleDoubles issue. I was hopeful that the DropStuff/Stuffit Expander solution would work, but as has...

Re: Shoebill - a Macintosh II + A/UX emulator for OS X

But this seems to assume that newconfig will find a network card. So we're back to figuring out how to make shoebill report a card to A/UX.... Is all this worth the effort, when the QEMU-based setup works perfectly when the network is started with Cat_7's command line? I've enjoyed experimenting wi...

I am not sure if this game will run in SheepShaver, but it will certainly not run unless CarbonLib 1.6 is installed in MacOS. If missing CARBON is the problem, why do I not receive a notification along the lines of carbon lib not found then? That is what other games (and the OS should) do in that c...

Re: SheepShaver constantly freezes running 'Ares'

Did you try shortening the sound buffer in SheepShaver? Shortening the length of the sound buffer can prevent delayed and choppy sound in some applications but will increase CPU use. That is a good suggestion (note that CPU usage should not be a problem on my rig, I am on an Intel-i7 13700, that sh...

…there seems to be an issue with NSOpenGL, as libshoebill is drawing at half scale in the full scale window on my Retina screen. This is due to the fact that NSOpenGLView.wantsBestResolutionOpenGLSurface defaults to true if the app is linked against 10.15 or later. Either set NSOpenGLView.wantsBest...

Hmm. After that entertaining read, I still don't think it's helped. I suspect VMNet is indeed already initialized, and Neozeed's writeup at https://www.emaculation.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=8483 explains more of what's actually going on -- essentially, the interfaces in A/UX aren't set up yet.

Adding SDL2 to the project is probably a good idea; yesterday, I got a chain of security warnings that Apple couldn't scan my new SDL2 library for malware and I had to go into Security settings and override it -- which probably isn't something we want people having to do who aren't familiar with co...

Re: Shoebill - a Macintosh II + A/UX emulator for OS X

There's one bug in all versions of shoebill -- in core/fpu.c, there's an 'a' function variable declared untyped. I put "int" in front of it and the problem went away. So "double _native_tentox(a) " becomes "double _native_tentox(int a) ". I also needed to replace my co...

So I've started re-compiling Shoebill and have made a bit more sense of what makes it different from other Mac emulators.
