FireBee
From SpareMiNT Wiki
So far FreeMiNT 1.18 is working on the FireBee with some limitations.
- Only runs under FireTOS.
- Memory protection must be disabled.
Except these limitations it's installed like on any other Atari.
FreeMiNT is currently being fully adapted to the Firebee.
[edit] How to get the current partially patched FreeMiNT working on the FireBee
- You must use FireTOS, not EmuTOS, as it's still impossible to run programs that contains 68k-instructions under EmuTOS on the FireBee.
- The boot-resolution must be in 256 colours (use fireconf.cpx).
- The "video" setting in xaaes.cnf works differently from any other Atari, maybe with the exception of Falcons with CT60, CTPCI and a Radeon-card fitted. It's easiest to take the videomode from [newdesk.inf]. Save the FireTOS desktop in the resolution you want to use. Load newdesk.inf into a text-editor and locate the line starting with #El This line contains a number of hexadecimal numbers. Numbers five and six (counting from 1) is the videmode. So if these numbers are e.g. 40 and 4f, the XaAES videomode is 0x404f.
- It works best with cache-setting "Normal" ("TOS: Normal" in fireconf.cpx). I find the automatic disabling of the cache annoying and useless under MiNT.
