[[File: | This article will detail how to '''boot SPARCStation 1''' and install SunOS 4.1.2 in MAME. | ||
The machine will have the following specs: | |||
*Monochrome graphics adapter (there are others, the monochrome one works best) | |||
*2GB Hard Drive (real SPARCStations did not have hard drives with this big a size, nonetheless it works fine in the emulation) | |||
*64MB of RAM | |||
==Rough guide== | |||
The first thing you need to do is download these files and place all of them into the "roms" folder in MAME, except SunOS 4.1.2. | |||
sun4_60.zip - https://wowroms.com/robots.txt/roms/mame/download-sun-4-3x0-clone/108220.html | |||
bwtwo.zip - https://archive.org/download/roms-0.230_202104/bwtwo.zip | |||
SunOS 4.1.2: https://winworldpc.com/download/7a01c38a-73c3-a9c5-b811-c3a5c28f1352/from/c3ae6ee2-8099-713d-3411-c3a6e280947e | |||
Once that is done you should open CMD or a Linux Terminal and create a virtual hard disk like this: | |||
<code>chdman createhd -f -o sunos412.chd -s 2147483648</code> | |||
Once that's all done the first MAME boot command looks like this: | |||
<code>mame64 sun4_60 -window -slot1 "bwtwo" "-scsibus:0" harddisk "-scsibus:1" "" "-scsibus:6" cdrom -hard sunos412.chd -cdrom SunOS_412.iso</code> | |||
If you want fullscreen, remove the "-window" part. | |||

Press <code>b cdrom</code> and hit enter to boot into the CD. | |||
(will write more here later) | |||
When you partition the disk, make sure that: Partition A is the boot partition, partition B is swap, and partitions G and H contain the majority of the disk. Make sure Partition C spans the entirety of the disk. I have no idea why you need to set it up in this way, but this is how SunOS expects it to be set up. | |||
DON'T FORMAT THE DISK unless you have several hours to kill. You only need to label the disk when its partitioned. | |||
When you reboot into the miniroot type <code>suninstall</code> to start installing the OS. | |||
