27    - AmigaOS 3.x
28    - Windows NT 4.0 (mostly works under Windows 95/98, too)
29 +  - Mac OS X 10.1, 10.2

31   Some features of Basilisk II:
32    - Emulates either a Mac Classic (which runs MacOS 0.x thru 7.5)
# Line 68 | Line 69 | The settings are stored in a text file:

# Line 284 | Line 285 | screen <video mode>
285      application via Alt-Tab, Basilisk II is put in "snooze" mode (i.e. MacOS
286      is frozen).
287  
288 +  Mac OS X:
289 +    The "video mode" is one of the following:
290 +      win/<width>/<height>
291 +      win/<width>/<height>/<bits per pixel>
292 +        A refreshed (and buffered) Quartz window.
293 +      full/<width>/<height>
294 +      full/<width>/<height>/<bits per pixel>
295 +        A CGDirectDisplay full screen mode. <bits> can currently be 8, 16 or 32.
296 +        If not specified, the default is 32. There is currently no way to switch
297 +        between the Mac OS X and Basilisk II display, but Apple-Option-Escape
298 +        instantly and safely terminates the Basilisk II program.
299 +
300   seriala <serial port description>
301  
302    This item describes the serial port to be used as Port A (Modem Port)
# Line 511 | Line 524 | nogui <"true" or "false">
524    error alerts. All errors will then be reported to stdout. The default
525    is "false".
526  
527 + keyboardtype <keyboard-id>
528 +
529 +  Specifies the keyboard type that BasiliskII should report to the MacOS.
530 +  The default is "5" which is a "Apple Extended Keyboard II (ISO)",
531 +  but many other numbers are understood by most versions of the MacOS
532 +  (e.g. 11 is a "Macintosh Plus Keyboard with keypad",
533 +        13 is a "Apple PowerBook Keyboard (ISO)" )

576      the number of key events sent to MacOS for each wheel movement (the
577      number of lines to scroll).
578  
579 +  ignoresegv <"true" or "false">
580 +
581 +    Set this to "true" to ignore illegal memory accesses. The default
582 +    is "false". This feature is only implemented on the following
583 +    platforms: Linux/x86, Linux/ppc, Darwin/ppc.
584 +
585 +  dsp <device name>
586 +  mixer <device name>
587 +
588 +    Under Linux and FreeBSD, this specifies the devices to be used for sound
589 +    output and volume control, respectively. The defaults are "/dev/dsp" and
590 +    "/dev/mixer".

689 + JIT-specific configuration
690 + --------------------------
691 +
692 + A Just-In-Time (JIT) translation engine is available for x86. This is
693 + aimed at translating 68040 instructions to native equivalent code
694 + sequences, thus providing faster emulation speeds.
695 +
696 +  jit <"true" or "false">
697 +
698 +    Set this to "true" to enable the JIT compiler. Default value is
699 +    "true" if the JIT compiler was compiled in. Besides, this is
700 +    effective only if Basilisk II is configured to emulate a 68040.
701 +
702 +  jitfpu <"true" or "false">
703 +
704 +    Set this to "true" to enable translation of floating-point (FPU)
705 +    instructions. Default is "true".
706 +
707 +  jitcachesize <size>
708 +
709 +    Allocate "size" kilobytes of RAM for the translation cache. The
710 +    value given will be rounded down to the nearest multiple of a page
711 +    size. Minimal value is "2048" (2MB). Default value is "8192" (8MB).
712 +
713 +  jitlazyflush <"true" or "false">
714 +
715 +    Set this to "true" to enable lazy invalidation of the translation
716 +    cache. This is always recommended as it usually makes the system
717 +    more responsive and faster, especially while running MacOS
718 +    8.X. Default value is "true".
719 +
720 +  jitdebug <"true" or "false">
721 +
722 +    Set this to "true" to enable the JIT debugger. This requires a
723 +    build of Basilisk II with the cxmon debugger. Default is "false".
