New Version Of The 68k Macintosh Emulator Basilisk II

July 30, 2008 by Hawq

More updates from JF now for his port of the 68k Macintosh emulator Basilisk II, let’s see what he’s done shall we?

Okay, here’s test 21. This forms the base for v1.1.1.
Changes:

Uses newer code base. Haven’t found anything that fixes, but who knows?

Added two new Mac resolutions: 640×360 and 768×432. These are 16:9 modes for people who use the LCD or HDTVs. Note that the first one has a height less than 384… you’ll find the bottoms of some windows/dialogs cut off because of that. For example, the Monitors & Sounds control panel. That’s why I didn’t give 480×272 as a resolution… the issue is even worse. Most things will be fine, but if you find something that doesn’t fit, move up to 768×432.

And test 22.
Changes:

Made pspirkeyb files relative to the B2 directory. It’s probably why some people couldn’t get the IR keyboard to work - they didn’t have the proper files in the seplugins directory. Now they don’t need to worry about it. The files are now in the b2 directory and included with the program. It IS set to Palm, so if you have another keyboard, you’ll need to edit the pspirkeyb.ini file. I’ve verified this works and that the IRDA.prx is loaded by B2 on a Phat running 4.01 M33-2.

Compiled program with functions aligned to 64 bytes. This makes the program about 100 KB bigger, and about 6% faster.
