Basilisk 2

There is a os4 version on the way.

@Antique

care to tell us more?
from who? when?

@Antique

is that ppc mac ?

@poweramiga

timing wouldn't be bad for me as i've used the last few days getting MOL working excellent with OS9 and all of the classic games like SimTower, SimFarm and even the newer ones like Tropico, Civilization III, Heroes of Might and Magic III which all runs quite nice on my A1-C!

So bring it on ;)

@poweramiga

No it's 68k but still cool.

@all

Not sure when,but LiveForIt(kjetil) sent me an mms showing it on os4.
But he's got some porblems booting the a1 at the moment. So not sure when it will be ready.

@Antique

I got it running two years ago but maybe someone got tired of waiting and decided to do it himself

I had problems with a listview and my hardware and that is the reason I stopped.

@Antique

Is that the "brutal" M5 engine in your avatar?

@Rudei

No,the avatar is my engine

2.3l straight 4.

@Antique

I did not know any one where working on it,

This version is Reaction based, and uses Picasso?96 display code,
It?s based on changes for MorphOS, that is again based on AmigaOS3.x, it was easier to do it that way because of memory address emulation, the window mode is upgraded form black and white to 24bit Picasso?96 bitmap, but it not optimized so runs slowly on Antique (600 Mhz) computer, should work fine on 800Mhz computer whit out any frame skip.

* Fixed the device emulation (CDROM support) code it was broken.
* Fixed NSD64 support fixed.
* Fixed the program exit code, it was broken,
* Fixed the makefile script it was not tuned for AmigaOS,

For Mac address space, I?m using virtualized memory to avid memory fragmentation problems.

* AHI support not tested.
* Ethernet support might be broken, not properly tested.
* Reaction GUI incomplete; it does not refresh correctly and you can't add disk images.

I can not continue working on it, because my AmigaOne-XE stopped working, and I most send it for repair.

Antique has a copy of the source code so it should be safe.

@LiveForIt

so you want someone else so continue your work?
if so, any takers?

@spotUP

If like to you can ask Antique for it..

@Antique

Uploaded some screens shots of Basilisk II from before my computer stopped working.

@LiveForIt

Good pics.
Now did SpotUp took over it?

And will you get a fixed CPU board? Or maybe it is too damaged to be fixed....

@LiveForIt

Any news on this project? Saves me buying a mac if you can get it working.

Cheers

No he did not.

Max Tretene / ACube-systems has the CPU modules, he has checked it and did not work, they are currently investigating the problem.

I think it will be fixed, it does not look burnt or any thing like that, most likely some bad soldering job

A FIXED CPU & BOARD!
A FIXED CPU & BOARD!
My Kingdom for this man to have a working A1 Yesterday!!

GRRR!

Good luck Liveforit, if you ever need a beta tester, ask!

Fingers crossed.

@Mikey_C

Well most likely work whit MacOS8, but MacOS9 will not, because using interpreted 680x0 emulation, Basilisk 2 can theoretically support native PowerPC, currently only supported on BeOS PPC, I have not investigated if this is possible or not, it should be able to emulate MacOS9 and maybe even MacOSX.
