Re: BasiliskII Crashes on Launch

- Is the quadra650.rom file still present in /Users/jimwong/Documents/Emulation/Classic-68k/ ? If not, BasiliskII will not run. - Is the Shrike.dsk a system startup disk? If not, BasiliskII cannot start up. - "ignoresegv false" should be "ignoresegv true" to lower the chance of c...

Re: BasiliskII Crashes on Launch

Without proper setup, BasiliskII will not run.
Did you have a working BasiliskII setup on this iMac and upgraded to the new build? If not, did you follow our setup guide: https://www.emaculation.com/doku.php/ba ... _osx_setup

Re: SheepShaver Installation and User Guides

It seems you have SheepShaver.app installed inside the .sheepvm package. If you created several .sheepvm packages and installed SheepShaver.app in each of them, the Finder will loose track of which SheepShaver.app to use. That's exactly what I have, yes. And happy new year a little late to you too!...

I am not sure if the folder and its contents suffices, but you cannot run an installer (or any application) when it is still on the "Unix" volume (shared folder) nor when it is dragged from "Unix' onto the Desktop. The folder must first be copied to another mounted volume, like your v...

Ah! I remember now. Forgot all about it. Maybe because I am not a gamer. :wink:

Here is the discussion on kanjitalk755/macemu. kanjitalk755 suggests to first try delay 1000 to slow down emulation.

Re: Beta version of new Basilisk II GUI

But what could be the practical use, if any? Apparently delay = 0 is the default. When deleted from an existing prefs file, BasiliskII will not write it again.

Re: Beta version of new Basilisk II GUI

Very observant! :smile:

I do not know what it is. BasiliskII only writes that line when launched with no pre-existent prefs file.
I cannot find it in the documentation. It may be a remnant in the source of an older BasiliskII version and not functional anymore. I will ask the developer.

Re: Beta version of new Basilisk II GUI

Do you use the latest GUI version 0.22? When it saves changed settings, it will move other items it finds between its own settings to the end of the prefs file. Manually added settings will thus be preserved. This feature was already present in version 0.20. BasiliskII itself will add 'advanced' set...

Which GUI version do you use? The latest version 0.22 should work fine for creating new disk images. It can be downloaded from the first post in this topic. (MacOS versions that can be used in BasiliskII cannot read APFS and, with the exception of MacOS 8.1, not even HFS+. But when you start up Basi...

Re: "Could not be opened, can't find original creator" error even though everything is right

Yes, it will not work this way because, indeed, the required software to open the files is not (yet) installed in OS9. The easiest way is using "stuffit_expander_5.5.img". Do not move this file into SheepShaver/OS9, but leave it on the host. You can trash it from the OS9 HD and move it fro...

"Very buggy" is not a clear description. Always use the latest SheepShaver build that is compatible with your host system for best performance. For OS X 10.11 use the 13 September 2022 build. If you encounter a specific bug, you can report it. You really need to be more specific about the ...

Assuming you run a recent SheepShaver build (August 2023 or later), you can try this: - Do not import the disk images into SheepShaver, but leave them on the host! - Drag the first image file into SheepShaver window, it will mount in SheepShaver as a read-only CD-ROM - Start the installation - Remov...

Re: File lost after crash

You will need to provide more information to get a sensible answer.

Did the host Mac crash or did the emulated machine in SheepShaver crash?
If the host machine crashed, did it crash while SheepShaver was running?
Where was the file saved?
Did you make any backups?

As far as I am aware, no serial ports are available in current versions of BasiliskII and those settings are non-functional.

What do you want to use the ports for? Maybe there is a different way to achieve what you want.
