Re: Run Mac Software on Your NIT with Basilisk II
 

More noob questions. :) Do I understand you correctly that it must be a 68030-68040 Mac unit 'only? I have a 9500/132 which had the 604(Motorla) chipset...which came right after the 68040's and prior to the G3-G4 series. Might the 604 unit still work for getting the ROM image?


correction edit: 604 was an IBM chipset.


Update: Pardon me. Thanks to debernardis and his suggestion earlier, I simply sourced the Quadra650 zip. Problem bipassed.

No, the prefs editor is not what I'm working on at the moment.

Re: Run Mac Software on Your NIT with Basilisk II
 

I'm looking forward to whatever it is you are working on now. ;)

Saturday night I created that webpage for Basilisk II about ROMs. Sunday morning I found out my N800 wouldn't bootup after a apt-get upgrade so spent the day after reflashing reinstalling software.

But I have 5 versions of Basilisk II for NIT setup on my N800: the SDL, GTK, and GS versions created by unique311, my original quick build, and your build #3. The GUI prefs editor that works in 2 of unique311's builds are rather nice, but I doubt I could hack the code enough to create a stand-alone prefs editor.

I breifly tried compiling the Sheepnet driver in Scratchbox so B2 could use the NIT's network connection. I hope to revisit that effort today.

I started a new thread on this forum devoted to listing what Mac software runs good on Basilisk II for NIT:

Macintosh Software that can run on a NIT

So which rom do you recommend?

The 030 or the 040? I can't seem to find an 030 rom.

Thx

Macs with a 68040 processor are better. The 68030 processor based Macs are older and slower.

68040 Mac ROM dump files are usually 1 MB. 68030 Mac ROM dump files are usually 512 KB.

Examples of 68040 Macs that dump a 1 MB ROM file that work with Basilisk II:

Mac Color Classic
Mac LC III
Performa 460
Powerbook 180
Mac LC 475
Performa 475
Quadra 605
Mac LC 580
Performa 580
Mac LC 630
Performa 630
Centris 610
Quadra 610
Centris 650
Quadra 650
Quadra 700
Quadra 900
Quadra 950

I had to reflash my NIT on Sunday, yesterday I used up a vacation day, was brain dead, and played around with andLinux on Windows. Today I'll work on the tutorial.

PS: I'm debating on how to walk people on installing Mac OS 7.5.3 on Basilisk II - via Windows, Linux, Mac, or (much harder) directly on the NIT.

Here's the future site's url - http://home.tampabay.rr.com/osemu/n800/b2/

And now for something completely different - andLinux on Windows running the Linux build of Basilisk II:

Hi guys,

I was wondering if any of you knows a step by step tutorial for the whole mac thing. I downloaded the Mac OS 7 files but I don't know what to do.

NNNNN

Re: Run Mac Software on Your NIT with Basilisk II
 

Hi. It's really easier to install the Mac OS on a hard drive file (HDF) using a full operating system like Windows.

I created a guide to installing Mac OS 7.5.3 in Basilisk II on Windows NT4/2000/XP/Vista here: How To Setup Basilisk II on Windows NT/2000 The steps for running Basilisk II on Linux or on Mac OS X are similar.

Just follow the steps. But in step 3, Gemulator Explorer will not work on XP/Vista, so you can directly mount the "Network Access.image" using the Disk tab of the BasiliskIIGUI instead.

I put in for another holiday for Monday, so I'll have Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday off, this time devoting more time to the Basilisk II on your Nokia Internet Tablet! website.

Xlibs installs ok, but not libxpm4... wants libxau0. N800 with OS 2008, red pill enabled, trying to install with app manager. Libxau6 shows as an already installed library.
