Annotation of uae/docs/README.BEBOX, revision 1.1.1.1

1.1       root        1: This document contains information specific to the BeBox version of UAE.
                      2: 
                      3: System requirements
                      4: ===================
                      5: 
                      6: UAE will run on any System with BeOS DR8 or DR8.2.
                      7: 
                      8: 
                      9: Starting UAE
                     10: ============
                     11: 
                     12: UAE should only be started from the Shell.
                     13: 
                     14: 
                     15: Compilation
                     16: ===========
                     17: 
                     18: The configure script doesn't work under BeOS. CD to 'src' and type
                     19: "make -fMakefile.Be".
                     20: 
                     21: If you are a daring person, you can edit custom.c before compiling and enable
                     22: the "EMULATE_AGA" define. UAE will then try to emulate some AGA features. I'd
                     23: like to hear feedback as to how well it works (expect it not to work at all
                     24: for a start).
                     25: 
                     26: To enable 68020/68881 emulation, set CPU_LEVEL to 2 in config.h and recompile.
                     27: 
                     28: 
                     29: Graphics
                     30: ========
                     31: 
                     32: The BeOS version of UAE currently only supports a color depth of 8 bits.
                     33: You should set the color depth of the workspace you're running UAE in to
                     34: 8 bits/pixel for maximum speed.
                     35: 
                     36: 
                     37: Sound
                     38: =====
                     39: 
                     40: The sound currently doesn't work very well. You must start UAE with "-S 2"
                     41: or "-S 3" to get sound.
                     42: 
                     43: 
                     44: Keyboard
                     45: ========
                     46: 
                     47: Some special keys of the Amiga keyboard are mapped as follows:
                     48: 
                     49:   (Amiga)   -> (Be)
                     50:   Help      -> Insert
                     51:   Amiga     -> Alt
                     52:   Alt       -> Wind*ws keys
                     53:   Left Alt  -> End
                     54:   Right Alt -> Right Control, Page Down
                     55:   '(' (NP)  -> Home
                     56:   ')' (NP)  -> Page Up
                     57: 
                     58: 
                     59: Mouse and joystick emulation
                     60: ============================
                     61: 
                     62: UAE will try to keep the Amiga mouse pointer at the same location as the Be
                     63: mouse pointer. You can turn off this mode if it does not work with  your
                     64: program by pressing F12. This is needed (for example) for Lemmings, the
                     65: Magnetic Scrolls adventures and ProTracker; these programs don't use sprite 0
                     66: as a mouse pointer.
                     67: 
                     68: A joystick in port 1 (the lower port) is supported. UAE calibrates the
                     69: joystick automatically. Turn it a few times on startup to get the calibration
                     70: done. 
                     71: 
                     72: 
                     73: Harddisk emulation
                     74: ==================
                     75: 
                     76: If you want to execute files located on a native filesystem, they need to have
                     77: the x permission bit set. That can be done in the Bash by "chmod +x file" or
                     78: in AmigaDOS with "protect file rwed".
