![]() ![]() The benefit is better technical accuracy of the guest's display, but I agree: the default gamma and color profiles that Apple optimized for old CRT displays can look too bright and washed-out on modern machines. Previously, all display settings were fully virtualized, but with this change, the emulated Mac's gamma settings can be passed directly to the host's physical monitor. Rakslice implemented the core functionality recently. Upon further thought, the prefs item might more accurately be called `gammapassthrough`. What exactly is this gammaramp supposed to achieve or solve? ![]() I hope one day both Basillisk and SheepShaver will have this much-needed feature. I completely agree, you can get a better resolution by using the emulator's full-page mode, but it would be so much easier, less frustrating, and less damaging if you could put Basillisk and SheepShaver into Window mode and apply a magnification like the one Mini vMac uses. And when considering how often you'll need to switch back and forth when you are using your computer for average needs, that's not only quite a hardware workout, but you'll have to keep track of the modes as well each time you switch. Likewise, switching back and forth between the emulator's full page mode and the computer's normal screen makes extra and unnecessary work on the monitor and as a technician I can say this. Both emulators always run at your screen's resolution.Īnd although it's true both Basillisk and SheepShaver can be run in full screen mode, I've had them stick sometimes in that mode, often requiring a reboot with the Power button when nothing else will unstick the computer and that takes a massive toll on the computer's hard drive. Both emulators always run at your screen's resolution.įor instance, a 640x480 emulator setting on a MacBook Pro screen at 1440x900 gives you an emulator that takes up 640x480 in the middle of a 1440x900 screen. They only change how much space each emulator takes up on your screen. These settings actually don't change the resolution either emulator runs at. I'm so sorry and please correct me if I'm wrong, but the resolution settings in both Basillisk II and SheepShaver are somewhat misunderstood. I just wanted to know if there are any plans to add a magnification feature like the one Mini vMac has to Basillisk and SheepShaver? It's a much needed feature for both emulators. ![]()
