Basilisk II can handle hardfiles (byte-per-byte images of HFS volumes in a file on the host system), HFS partitions on hard disks etc., and MacOS-partitioned disks (it can only access the first partition, though). There can be multiple “disk” lines in the preferences file. This item describes one MacOS volume to be mounted by Basilisk II. Again from the BASILISK II readme, the diskpreference is defined: This is because the same path issue occurs with the disk image, and you may need to specify the path to the disk image in the preferences file. Otherwise, you would end up with this (and you may need to use Task Manager to end the Basilisk II process as the window may refuse to close and kill the application):
Basilisk ii vs sheepshaver mac#
If your disk is specified corectly then the virtual mac should now boot. Or, you could edit the preferences file, by opening the file, BasiliskII_prefs, in notepad (as here is no GUI preferences dialogue) and add rom C:\\quadra650.ROMįor example, rom C:\Users\davinci\Basilisk\BasiliskII_20-02-2015\quadra650.ROM So the easiest option, without requiring you to modify the preferences file, in the Basilisk II directory, rename the ROM file, from quadra650.rom to just ROM. If no “rom” line is given, the ROM file has to be named “ROM” and put in the same directory as the Basilisk II executable. This item specifies the file name of the Mac ROM file to be used by Basilisk II. Just dropping it in the same directory is not sufficient.įrom the BASILISK II readme, the rom preference is defined below: The issue is that you need to specify to the emulator where the ROM file is located. I’ve managed to reproduce your error, using a Quadra 650 ROM file from a tutorial on RedundantRobot. Tackling Basilisk II and SheepShaver in turn… Basilisk II
Basilisk ii vs sheepshaver mac os#
I got the disk image from youtube – Tour of Mac OS 7.5.5 with color + games (with download links). I opened both BasiliskII and SheepShaver and I took a screenshot for you guys to know tell me what’s going on? On forums it said quadra650.rom will work but I tried and nothing special, I got the same error. This is very huge problem and I don’t know how I can fix it. I thought it would work if I use BasiliskII but when I assemble the ROM, SDL.dll and the other stuff, I got an error about the ROM: “Cannot open ROM file.” The same thing happened with SheepShaver. I was thinking I could run Mac OS 7.5.5 on vMac with color but no it won’t work with color only OS can run. The Original question BasiliskII and SheepShaver can’t open quadra650.rom It is also worth noting that SheepShaver only supports PowerMac (PowerPC) emulation, and NOT 68K.You may also wish to see the related link, Linux 68k Macintosh emulator.Note that this will not work for the question (if you didn’t write the question – if you did, then I still not sure if it works), and that you need to have edit rights (i.e. To get at your answer to a question that the author deleted, you need the answerPostID from the URL, not the questionPostID, where the URL to the deleted answer is of the form: Or rather, this is the “saving for posterity” of an extensive answer that I posted to a question on SuperUser, a question which the original poster, rather inconsiderately, subsequently deleted.!
