There is an effective tutorial on the openbios site. If you run OSX, you nee to install the fcode utils and use the awos cross compiler linked to: http://www.mediafire.com/download/wy5xgj2hwjp8k4k/AWOS_Cross-Compilers.zip This is my script to build the OpenBIOS binary: PATH=:/usr/local/ppcelf/ppcel...

Can anyone tell me, or point be to, how to build Openbios, when I build Qemu-PPC??

I'm emulating mac99, seems I need to set the subsystem-id, and maybe the sub-device-id, and sub-class id, for OS 9 to load the drivers.

Does anyone know the key command to invoke Macsbugs, once the OS has loaded to the Finder, it use to be Ctrl+Command+I, but that doesn't seem to work for Macsbugs 6.6.3? EDIT: Ok, I fond a way. Defining an 'FKEY' Resource to Invoke MacsBug 2 Another way to invoke MacsBug is to define an 'FKEY' resou...

I'm trying to work on the voodoo2, I've got it initializing in Open Firmware, and OS X can see it in the IOReg, but the drivers can't see the device in OS 9. http://farm1.staticflickr.com/446/32463908010_33239833b1_b.jpg http://farm3.staticflickr.com/2925/32002004874_25234c3cf3_b.jpg The System Prof...

I tried playing around with Bochs, to get an idea how Voodoo2 emulation works, but it's dog slow. I mean, it was faster on my old Powermac 8600 with a 450 Mhz G3 upgrade card, 45 Mhz bus. Even running Dos in Bochs is too slow, what a piece of crapware. I don't know what they did to Bochs in the last...

As an aside, I decided to try to get this up and running on my Raspberry Pi. Interesting results occurred. https://i.imgur.com/Tpswviv.png https://i.imgur.com/PFVy96L.png https://i.imgur.com/xnaph45.png This is using QEMU 2.8 master branch compiled from source, running Mac OS 9.2.2 with 256MB of RA...

I tried to patch OS 8.6 to run on the mac99, but I just ended up with either "Unemployment Trap" or other errors. At this point what may be needed is to use the real Beige G3 Old World Rom, in Qemu. I was told, on the qemu-ppc mailing list, there was an effort to do this, but I've been una...

Likely would, I think Qemu uses the VGA code from Bochs.

Hmmmmmmmmm............................................

So far, my code changes to Qemu, should build on any platform. I'm going to try to just get SDL to pass the OpenGL calls to the Host, should work on all platforms. I can't find the Rage Pro 128 documentation, ATI/AMD may have never released it, tho there is an open source Linux driver, so it maybe b...

There's another emulator that have the Voodoo 2 emulation. It's PCem that implement Voodoo/Voodoo 2 emulation on register level. And, the Voodoo 2 Macintosh drivers can be found here: http://falconfly.de/voodoo2.htm Thanks, tho I may go the Rage/Radeon rout, once I get some preliminary support goin...

Ok, I need to extract the NDRV from the Rage 128 Pro rom:

I know it starts with:
But I don't know where it ends?

Alex?

Hmmmmm............. http://farm1.staticflickr.com/532/32366482160_31a06954e1_b.jpg That's Panther( 10.3.9 ), I get some weird screen redraws, and the mouse pointer tends to disappear, but then I'm not emulating the Rage 128 chip, itself, I'm still emulating whatever GPU QEMU_VGA uses? It's progress,...

hmmmmmm................... http://farm1.staticflickr.com/718/32366001800_af5ee6f1e2_b.jpg The ATI Extensions didn't load, I'm sure the Startup would have bombed out if they did. I really still emulating the QEMU_VGA, I think I just changed the Vendor ID the Device ID and the name in the Device Tree,...

Ok, so now I think the next step is to get the Voodoo2 to enumerate on the PCI Bus of the emulated mac, I found something interesting in the pic_database.c: static const pci_dev_t vga_devices[] = { { PCI_VENDOR_ID_ATI, PCI_DEVICE_ID_ATI_RAGE128_PF, NULL, "ATY", "ATY Rage128", &qu...

BeOS may be started from Mac OS ,but it seems it doesn't support Mac OS 9.That's why I want 8.6. But booting 8.6 in mac99(with changed MacOS ROM and edited System file) fails with "bus error".That's why the hope is for g3beige.Though currently it fails,too I think it maybe easier to get t...

I think people have Linux working on the ppc64 mac99, using 970fx, but I'm not sure. I'm not really sure the point of trying to run 8.6 on the g3beige. The g3beige seems to be the one closest to a real mac, I've even encountered the 768MB ram limit for the Beige G3. It may need a rewrite of the mac_...

Thanks steven, I I've been checking out booting emu-system-ppc64 with -cpu 970fx, but it hangs at BootX, so maybe this will tell me why the mach_kernel never loads. hmmmmm....................... Must be missing the code for mac99_U3, or the 970fx? http://farm1.staticflickr.com/643/32582886542_a8e58...

MacOS.app in DP2 provides Mac OS 9.0 with Mac OS ROM 3.0.In DP1 it is MOS 8.6.By the way,it's a proof of concept: MOS 8.6 and 9.0 can work in qemu g3beige.We only need to find the way. Interesting, I thought the "Blue Box" ran in some sort of emulation, I thought I read somewhere that it ...

I don't think I was able to boot DP2 with mac99, I think it has to be g3beige, but I was just checking if steven's BootX with logging would tell me anything useful as to why the mac99_U3 G5 wouldn't boot Panther's kernel.

Can you help me out with my issue? It keeps closing down me. I can't seem to run DP2 from a build of the source code that alex linked, I think Cat_7 built the qemu.exe from that source code, I'm not sure it will run DP2. It keeps rebooting on me, before I get passed BootX, but it maybe the Screamer...

Just looking at the code for DOSBox, it looks like it uses SDL for windowing and OpenGL calls to the host. So, I figured a good starting place would be to get a working SDL build of Qemu. I tried first with the Qemu source from GitHub, but that built, but I got some crazy error when I run make insta...

I set: -g 1024x666x8 And BootX shows at that resolution, but once the Kernel loads, it switches to 640x480x16 or 32, I'm not sure. http://farm1.staticflickr.com/704/32727326185_87d3e69efd_b.jpg There doesn't appear to be a way to change the screen resolution in DP2, the Mac OS Preferences, doesn't h...
