 Posted: Sat Feb 13, 2016 5:26 am Post subject: Darkmatter 0.5 |
 |
|
I just uploaded a new darkmatter version: http://1drv.ms/242hxbI. It fixes a bug in the ethernet driver for NeXT turbo hardware. This bug was there for more than 20 years now and finally got fixed 
An update is highly recommended for all users with turbo hardware as well as people using darkmatter together with Previous. |

These instructions are still valid:

In addition to "darkmatter.jar" you need:
* A recent JRE (Java Runtime Environment). The patch tool runs on Windows, Mac OS or Linux
* A Mac LC ROM image file (not LC II and not LC III, works only with LC ROM); google for "350EACF0 - Mac LC.ROM"
* A daydream 2.11 kernel file; you find it on this site.
What you don't need anymore:
* A daydream ROM box
Invoke the tool with
| Code: | | java -jar darkmatter.jar daydream "350EACF0 - Mac LC.ROM" |
This will create a folder "darkmatter" which contains the new kernel (size after patch should be 655360 bytes). Enjoy! |
But probably someone will provide a patched kernel soon. I'm sorry, but I can't do that for copyright reasons (Mac ROM as well as daydream kernel are copied as part of the patch process). That's the reason for the patch tool. |

I'm fairly sure if it is a currently trademarked name , he probably will deserve mega compensation. Best Regards Rob Blessin

I get the same error when running the jar file code on OS X. I suspect there is a problem (sorry, had a peek inside the classfiles with a Java decompiler) with opening the "Init.a.asm" temporary file for output, since Java assumes this should be located inside the jar file.
This workaround runs successfully for me (darkmatter.jar, daydream kernel and the LC.ROM file in the current directory):
| Code: | $ mkdir darkmatter
$ cd darkmatter
$ unzip ../darkmatter.jar
$ java -cp . darkmatter.Main ../daydream ../LC.ROM |
This results in a daydream kernel with the following md5 sum (haven't tried running the new kernel yet...):
| Code: | $ md5 ../daydream % Original kernel
MD5 (../daydream) = 2ace94152af70dd909bc803837993ae9
$ md5 darkmatter/daydream % Patched kernel
MD5 (darkmatter/daydream) = 70af8d2951414232edfe3c50775526d9 |
Hope that helps,
Michael |

OK, works for me also without errors but i get these md5:
3de89b82ed185f02973eb35fb87f517d *daydream
and the kernel is 646.144 bytes, but it should be

Anyway - as before - i don't get network running on a Turbo Cube. it looks like the cable isn't connected to the router, but it is and works in NS3.3. Pinging the own adress works, pinging the router doesn't work. The MAC-adress is the right one. Any hints?

Maybe I was using a different version of the LC ROM here, that might explain it... good to see that you got it to work! |

The bug seems always present. I have put in a harddrive (NS 3.3 and MacOS 8.1 image) in a monoslab and ethernet works fine.
The same hd in a color turbo or a cube turbo doesn't get me ethernet, se other posts |

Sorry for the troubles with the darkmatter patcher. Here is an updated version which should work with "java -jar ...":
| Code: | | https://1drv.ms/u/s!ALWHYwiFLPiFhLMl |
Regarding the Ethernet: I have no idea what it could be. I've tested it with a turbo cube and I was able to open web pages with Internet Explorer and Netscape Navigator. Anyone else with the same problem? What kind of Ethernet switch do you have between the NeXT and the modem? Could it be that switch's auto-negotiation down to 10MBit/s fails? |
