[B2-devel] Basilisk II TODO

[Gwenole B. <gb....@fr...>]

Hi,

Here are some items I would like to achieve prior to releasing a new  
Basilisk II snapshot.
* Add minimal QuickDraw acceleration (BitBlt for srcCopy alike to  
SheepShaver) [Christian already posted the ShapeShifter guesswork here]
* Fix 68k emulation bugs. The Lisa emulator author will provide me  
with his tester results files from a real 68040 [500 MB of compressed  
data!]
* Fix slirp network emulation code for Windows. Some reports indicate  
I may have broken it in CVS, somehow (?)

At this point, I believe B2 is stable enough to be 1.0-final. A full  
featured MacOS X build (JIT, FAT binaries, no SDL) is already a great  
improvement. Thanks Nigel for the MacOS X port! I won't claim to fix  
all 68k emulation bugs in due time but this would be a great  
achievement too.

I would have liked to have Classic emulation working, but I don't  
know yet how to fix it. Probably m68k emulation bug fixes would get  
it right? I don't know...

Oh, before I get questions: I am sorry but I don't have Windows Vista  
and I don't want/need it either.

A SheepShaver update will come next, probably in July or August. No  
clear features set defined yet, this will depend on motivation and  
inspiration to do some things. I believe some crashes on MacOS X >=  
10.3.7 on ppc are already resolved in CVS (more correct exception  
handler).

Hey Gwenole,

I'd recommend also fixing the following at least for Solaris:

Disable the PTMX define
Fix the std::map directive in ether*.cpp to make it compile (I can send you
a diff if you want it)
Enable typedefs in slirp_config.h

Other than that, I have networking enabled on Solaris and it works great.
However, Netscape makes the emulator crash.

Will Apple allow distribution of the ROM images?  I bet they would but
probably don't because they'll get sued by all the clonemakers they charged
money to in the 1980s and 1990s.

Also, I noticed that my palm treo 650 has an abstraction layer that runs
68000 code natively.  Has anyone tried porting BasiliskII to the palm treo
for palmos?  System 7.5.5 would be the ultimate mobile computing platform.

Oh and if you want me to set up an account on my Solaris build platform for
you, let me know.
