Basilisk II is available under the terms of the GNU General Public License.
See the file "COPYING.txt" that is included in the distribution for details.


Overview
--------

Basilisk II is an Open Source 68k Macintosh emulator. That is, it enables
you to run 68k MacOS software on you computer, even if you are using a
different operating system. However, you still need a copy of MacOS and
a Macintosh ROM image to use Basilisk II.

Basilisk II/JIT is Basilisk II with the JIT (Just In Time) Compiler
that Bernd "Bernie" Meyer developed for UAE.


Documentation
-------------

Please read the other Basilisk II documentation in the following directories:
- General documents
- Windows-specific documents
- JIT-specific documents


Windows port
------------

I tried to synchronize the common sources with the upcoming Basilisk II 0.9
release. Therefore, I probably broke some features but not that much according
to "diff" between the original Windows port and this port. Please tell me if
you encounter any problem.

Known issues:
- "My Computer" icon is no longer available
- "Keyboard type" option is always set to 5
- "Get Hardware Value" option is always set to true


GUI Preferences Editor
----------------------

The GUI Preferences Editor is not updated to take into account JIT-specific
preferences items. Therefore, you may have to re-edit "BasiliskII_prefs" if
that tool wiped out your preferences

Relevant prefs items for the JIT compiler are:
- jitcachesize <integer> : specifies the translation cache size in KB
- jitfpu <boolean> : specifies whether to compile FPU instructions or not

The values I would recommend for now are:
	jitcachesize 8192
	jitfpu true
	cpu 68040
	fpu true
