Status

This page describes the status of the project, so you know where we were and are.

0.1.1

Initial release.

Plain, useless controls mimicking Virtual PC, such as:

  • Virtual Machine List
  • New Macintosh Wizard
  • New Disk Wizard (Still unfinished)
  • About Box (Incomplete)
  • Option Box (General options)(Incomplete) The app is just a plain application which does nothing, just a plain GUI copy of the Virtual PC GUI with respective Mac labels.

Written in Visual Basic 6, so it may not run well on modern systems

0.1.2

Revision.

  • "Remove" button added (not working)
  • New Mac Wizard will not add any machine
  • About box a bit more complete
  • Nothing to see here folks

Added some controls, so now the thing looks a bit more "complete" (Even thought it's useless).

0.2.1

  • Loading Bar changed to look a bit more "Mac Classic" Style
  • Virtual Machine list works
  • Remove function working too
  • Added a picture for the about box
  • Now when you make a Machine with the New Mac Wizard, it's automatically added to the Virtual Machine List
  • Can't see more than 3 VMs at the time (Scroll bar doesn't work)(Will be fixed in revision 2)

App now does recollect the user options and holds them, but it's still useless. Still in VB6.

0.2.2

Revision. Fixed scrollbar, now works as expected.

Has a bug which makes the Mac wizard useless because of a data type error

0.3.1

Updated the project to run on VS2005, will not work on VB6.

  • Added a nice icon in the tray to perform same actions as the Console
  • Modified Macintosh individual configuration dialogue
  • Modified "General options" dialogue

Note: Version still shows 0.2.2, since I never updated the version, but there's a significant change in the code, so this version is canonically 0.3.1. Also, in this version the code is a mess since there are many leftovers of the VB6 code

0.4.1

  • Added ability to use icons and to change them from the Individual Machine Settings
  • You can add custom icons to the machine list
  • Now you can change the name of the machine after you made it
  • New Machine list (ListView with view in mosaic)

Rewritten many parts of the "New Mac Wizard", code now is a bit more organized. Deleted and recreated the controls, so now there's not a huge mess with controls.

From here comes a big development gap, which was because at this point I had entered the school, so had no time to continue coding a lot the app.

Also at this point there's not a lot of advance in the app for the goals, but now it's almost ready to create config files. The goal of creating is at 70% at this point.

The personalization goal is also at 70% in this release.

0.5.1

Updated the code to VS2008. App now can launch emulators, but it does in a weird way, so the goal is at a 60% in this version.

The way it launches SheepShaver deletes the prefs file, not recommended to be used with customised files

0.5.2

Still in development.

Now the app can read the Basilisk II config file, and load it into a configuration dialogue
