+ | ==== Upgrading from a Basilisk II build from before 22-09-2020 ==== | ||
+ | If you are upgrading from an old version of Basilisk II, the best thing to do is to download all files into a new folder and make a fresh start (but you can still use your old disk image and ROM). Most dll (application extensions) files included are needed to run the GUI. The number of dll files may be a bit overwhelming, | ||
+ | |||
+ | If you kept your Rom file and hard disk image(s) in the old Basilisk II folder, copy them into the new folder. If they are outside your old Basilisk II folder, leave them where they are now.\\ | ||
+ | |||
+ | Next, run the GUI, point to the required Rom and disks in the new folder (or where you kept them outside of the old folder) and adjust the other GUI settings to match what you had before. | ||
+ | You can then run Basilisk II.\\ | ||
+ | |||
+ | If everything is OK, you can remove the old folder and its content. If you had the GTK development kit installed to run the old GUI, and it is not used for any other program you have installed, you can remove it too.\\ | ||

+ | There are two ways to get started with the emulator - installing MacOS 8.1, or System 7.5.3. | ||
+ | |||
+ | ===== OPTION ONE: Installing MacOS 8.1 from CD or CD image ===== | ||
+ | |||
+ | To setup Basilisk II and install MacOS 8.1, you need to prepare a few things: | ||
+ | |||
+ | * [[https:// | ||
+ | * A valid ROM file. You can get this from your old Macintosh computer as described [[capturing rom|here]], or you can find one online: Search for the redundant robot sheepshaver tutorial site and download the performa rom. | ||
+ | * A copy of MacOS 8.1. You could use a physical CD, or a CD image. | ||
+ | * Note that some CD images available online are not bootable and you might just get a blinking disk image. | ||
- | Installing System 7.5.3 (which can be updated to 7.5.5) is fun and easy! But before getting started, there are a few files that you will need to download: | ||

- | ==== 64-bit Windows | + | **NOTE:** Basilisk II builds from 22-09-2020 and beyond support reading and booting from real CDs in 64-bit Windows.\\ |
+ | **NOTE:** Basilisk II supports networking over a TAP device in Windows. | ||
- | Both the cdenable.sys driver and the basilisk ethernet driver will not work in 64-bit Windows versions. Therefore you can't access cd-roms and can't make appletalk work on these windows versions. You can, however, make .iso images of your cd roms and add them to the volumes list in the BasiliskII GUI. For internet access you can use the “slirp” option. You can place the cdenable.sys driver in the \Windows\SysWOW64\drivers folder to get rid of the (faulty) error reported about not being able to find the driver in the \windows\system32\drivers folder. | + | **For users of builds from before 22-09-2020**: |
