t3h,

Thank you very much. Any chance you can look at jit compiler in your free time ? When I try to enable it it complains about non-direct memory access. I do not know the exact memory subsystem in the tablet, perhaps it is not compatibile but if it's not then we might see some improvements in speed (which is not bad at the moment at all)

Well, I have it running (mostly) I don't seem to be able to get it to read the prefs file I have to use switches in xterm to get it working.

(MAC folder on my MMC1 has roms and disk image, /home/user has BasiliskII and .basilisk_II_prefs files and basiliskii.desktop is in /usr/share/applications/hildon/)

But, I put the command and switches in a shell script and then linked it to a simple mac command so that it runs.

My next question is - Can I get it to start in full screen mode? (at 800x480) currently I have --screen set to win/800/480 and then hit the fullscreen button when it launches, which works but it would be nice to have it start that way.

My last question (for the time being anyway) is how would I go about creating an icon in the extras menu (for example) to be able to run this without going through all the hassle of running xterm and then the command?

Thanks in advance..

-John

You will need to copy the prefs file to /home/user , it wont work if it is in the same directory as executable.

Does this mean I can run egatrek on my 770?

The newest version seem to be a little unstable for me. It crashes instantly every time I try to start netscape or word perfect. seems like there is some memory adressing issue.

Emulation cross-contamination.
  • Yes, EGATrek works on DOSBox.

The JIT is written for x86 only. Unless someone rewrites the JIT for ARM, that won't be possible.

I'll add a prefs key and a commandline for fullscreen mode. I originally had it going in fullscreen all the time.

As for a GUI icon, take a look at other .desktop files that launch things, and add the appropriate lines.

I've been following this thread with very intense interest for the past week, I got BasiliskII running this afternoon (and cackled like a mad scientist). Now looking for some free software to download.

WordPerfect 3.5 http://main.system7today.com/softwar...ductivity.html

a Graphing Calculator http://www.pacifict.com/Secrets.html

There was also a link to some games on the system7today site, but most require a powerpc and a hardy video card.
