Notes on installing A/UX 3.0.1 Unless you set a root password, it'll automatically boot from the CD into the desktop. This makes it difficult to change the session type. But thankfully virtual disks are cheap, and it's easier to make two copies of the ISO, and use both ISO's in the scsi disk chain. ...

I tried some retro GCC-4.2 (gcc-42-5666.3-darwin11.pkg), but the linker wasn't having any of Sheep's insanity.

Not that I don't mind having 10.6 kicking around, I just don't like I can't figure out why my pcap stuff bombs on Sheep, but works fine on Basilisk II...

As of today (December 3rd, 2014) this is my current binary . I've included the 1GB disk file so you can skip the whole booting into MacOS, and partitioning/formatting the disk. But I want to leave how I did it, in case someone wants to create the disk file in a different manner. First off, I'm going...

That looks great. Thank you for writing it! As soon as I have some free time again, I will test the instructions. Feel free to post that as a new topic, meanwhile. Just something with "Shoebill setup guide for Windows" or whatever as the topic. No need for it to be buried in this mega-thr...

Thanks Neozeed! I wish I could chime in, but I have very little experience with the SDL GUI beyond compiling it on windows and briefly testing that it sorta-worked. For the future, I'm planning to rejigger the cli arguments to better support customizing ethernet and other things. Multiple monitors,...

I will look forward to a few setup notes. I can wikify them and promote the link in the usual spots. The emulator could get a lot more exposure... which would only be a good thing. Ok, here is my 1st pass ! I've updated my latest build package ( shoebill+slirp+win32-21112014.7z ) to have the right ...

I should probably do this in a better manner, but hopefully I can edit this as I go and this won't be too error prone... First off, I'm going to be using the following ROM: D:\shoebill\master6\j>md5 macii.rom 2a8a4c7f2a38e0ab0771f59a9a0f1ee4 macii.rom And ISO file: D:\shoebill\master6\j>md5 Apple_UN...

The problem stems from how sheepshaver uses memory. It just doesn't allocate a block and use it like a normal program, instead it tries to duplicate a powermac address space in the user space. So the contention is in mapping 0x00000000 and other traditionaly reserved blocks. This is why sheepshaver ...

Yeah, sheepshaver is a total mess... I think it pretty much requires a rewrite. It works, however! But when you try to change stuff, it's just too ugly. Or, you could contribute to qemu/openbios ... Every time I've tried to do anything with Qemu it's rejected with no real explanation and bug report...

Now that I finally have a bit of time on my hands, I would like to try this emulator out. Is there any quick setup guide to getting this up and running in Windows 7 and/or Ubuntu? There needs to be.... mostly on how to setup new disks and copy the cd-rom onto the new disks. I just haven't gotten ar...

Ive only been able to run under 10.6 successfully with my modifications. I don't know why it fails with later versions and more bizarre is why the same code works fine with Basilisk II. The more I tore sheep apart the more apparent that the only way to save it, will involve a massive rewrite. What a...

Hey no worries! All that 68881 is lightyears beyond me. I did find a book (finally) on 68000 assembly programming, so I'm going to take a small splash and try to figure some of that out. I thought about it a while ago when I smashed enough of SOZOBON to "compile" for the easy68k thing many...

Pruten updated the float code some more! as far as I can see, phoon works now!



No crashes, no explosions, and I spent more time undoing all of my hacks. Although it's interesting that the libfdm and regular 68881 libm both agree.

yay!

Not that it matters but using the default ethernet setup, and very very light usage I got this after 2 days 1:41am up 2 days, 8:01, 3 users, load average: 0.00 0.00 0.01 1:42am up 2 days, 8:01, 3 users, load average: 0.00 0.00 0.01 1:42am up 2 days, 8:02, 3 users, load average: 0.00 0.00 0.01 1:43am...

I have no idea, I just know bad things happened when I had several megabytes of text in my clipboard and MacOS did not like that..

I think it was intended for small stuff.

For those who care, here is my updated build with the new FPU. Win32+SLIRP source code Win32+SLIRP pre-built binary this incorporates all the "fixes" I've found in SLiRP from my Cockatrice III offshoot thing. Although there is still something amiss, as after an hour of slamming the Etherne...

the second thing I did when building from source was to turn off the shared clipboard. Why not copy the data out via a shared directory?

Sorry work is driving me quite insane the last while. Anyways I got a preliminary build on Win32.... some stuff is missing here & there, but nothing major so that is good. for %%i in (adb fpu mc68851 mem via floppy core_api cpu dis) do ( del %%i.post.c ) for %%i in (adb fpu mc68851 mem via flopp...

awesome dude!

I'll certainly give it a go!

double post, argh!!!

I'm sitting here from a $1000 PC... I wanted the MacPro, but the apple store was basically telling me they are too unstable and have had far too many returns to sell them. Oh well. I can run my 10.6.2 in VMWare for glorious GCC 4.0/4.2 and I can run my VMWare ESX for work stuff.. As I mostly wanted ...

pcap_next just got a packet! 110 long wait for 30->0 Ugh, same deal as Cat_7.. that means one packet made it in, and that counter should go to 30 but obviously isn't incrementing.. Which is why nothing works. I can drop the 30 packets, but it won't matter much as it's obviously not processing any m...

Here's the terminal output with ether en0 and jit false, using all four executables: SheepShaver V2.4 by Christian Bauer and Mar"c" Hellwig Reading ROM file... EtherInit with [PCAP] Pcap version [libpcap version 1.3.0 - Apple version 41] ethernet.c: pcap_open_live error on en0! Does this ...

Sorry to ask another favor: at some point later on, could you let us know which files are modified with your slirp fixes? I'd like to try building your slirp fixes into my own project which has some keyboard changes and a help menu. Thanks again for this. It was pretty much everything. Some of the ...

Sorry to report that in my solution (an Applescript runs Sheepshaver with 8.6) Sheepshaver simply doesn't start with ether en0 and either jit false or jit true. This is under OS X 10.9. I'll be running 10.9 for at least another day or two, but will probably upgrade to 10.10 over the weekend. Its un...
