[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).
