Shapeshifter config for Mac OS 8.1?

[motorollin]

To summarise, using the same ROM file and hardfile (containing Mac OS 8.1, installed using Basilisk II on a MacBook), the following occur:

Shapeshifter: Hangs/Reboots the Amiga
Fusion: Emulation does not even start
Basilisk II (Amiga): Emulation hangs during Mac OS boot. Amiga still responds
Basilisk II (OSX): Mac OS 8.1 boots perfectly

If anyone can help me get any of the 3 Amiga emulators working, I would be very grateful.

@motorollin

Dumb question, but you do have PrepareEmul running, right?

[motorollin]

No, but I thought OS3.9BB2 meant you no longer needed PrepareEmul?

Hadn't heard that, but maybe . . .

Then again, I have PrepareEmul running and 8.1 works.  ;-)

[motorollin]

Well anyway, I just put C:PrepareEmul at the beginning of my startup-sequence and it made no difference to Shapeshifter's behaviour.

Ken, what's your hardware configuration?

I'm running WinUAE.

68k Mac emulator running inside 68k Amiga emulator? That's just perverse :lol: It's strange that I've had the same problem with my A1200 and A4000 with all of these emulators. Makes me think I'm doing something wrong :-?

Heh, heh. :-D

I have a 3000 I could try it on -- but too much trouble (and too slow).

I can't remember if I tried it on my Pegasos or not (I probably did).  (BTW, I miss the Peg -- wish I could afford yours :-()

because shapeshifter and macos 8.1 have some problem on real amiga than WinUAE.
Even on Amithlon, Shapeshifter and MacOS 8.1 runs very well and very fast!

Usually the problems with shape and 8.1 are the installed system patch.

In a recent thread about Shapeshifter, it was mentioned that Mac OS 8.1 can be persuaded to boot under emulation. Please could someone who has got this working post their Shapeshifter configuration (including ROM details if possible)?

sorry, it is in italian language..

[motorollin]

@Seiya
Thanks! Though I don't speak Italian it is similar enough to English that I can figure out what the field labels say :-) I'll check those settings against mine and report back.

I've got WinUAE, and I haven't had much luck getting Shapeshifter set up.  I think I managed to get the grey mac screen, but after that nothing.

Does anyone have any steps to get MacOS 7.5 setup through WinUAE, or is there a link somewhere?

[Seiya]

i have MacOS 8.1 on my sytem in the signature

One thing that can be a problem with emulating using shapeshifter on winuae is that shapeshifter can only do 8, 15 and 24 bit screenmodes wheras most PC's running Windows will only offer 8 bit, 16 and 32 bit but no 15 bit.  in this case i could only get an 8 bit screen open (no 15 or 24 bit)in shapeshifter and only if I set the winuae display to 8 bit as well.

[motorollin]

Just an update:

Today I disabled my KickFlash, connected a hard disk to my A4000's IDE interface and installed 3.1 and CyberGraphX on it. I then ran ShapeShifter with the same configuration as before, but the same thing happened :-( So it doesn't appear to be a problem with 3.9. I still need to check my configuration against Seiya's.
