Installation System 7.1 - Disk 2 ?!
Good morning all !
I have a problem installing System 7.1 with Basilisk II. I started with the install 1.img floppy & now the installation asks me for floppy # 2 but I don't know how to go back to the emulator menu & insert this floppy ?
How to proceed ?
Greetings !

Hi,
As you noticed you cannot change floppies.
If you have the floppies as disk images, you should put them on another disk image and add that to the volumes list in the GUI.
You can roughly follow this guide (which I haven´t tested)
Use the GUI to:
1. Create a new disk image of perhaps 500 Mb onto which you will install System 7.
2. Create a new disk image of perhaps 20 Mb onto which you will copy the system 7 floppy disk images.
Use HFV explorer to:
3. Copy the individual disk images to the 500 Mb disk image
Use the GUI to boot an existing Mac OS 7.5 or 8.0 installation, but first add:
4. The 500 Mb system 7 disk image
5. The 20 Mb disk image with the system 7 floppy images.
Once booted, mount all the system 7 disk images and start the installation from the first disk images. You might need the disk copy 4.2 program to mount the images.
Install onto the 500 Mb system 7 disk.
Once finished, shut down Basilisk and start the GUI to remove the system 7.5 or 8.0 and the 20 Mb floppy disk image from the volumes list. Then start Basilisk.

Re: Installation System 7.1 - Disk 2 ?!
Hello thank you for your help
1. I found a method to install System 7.1 very easily without going through all these steps... just use Mini vMac & & once the installation is complete start Basilisk II with this HDD
2. I have also installed my favorite Flashback game in floppy version, but i have a big problem ! With Mini vMac the game does not start & with Basilisk II Flashback starts but I have no sound ?!
How to proceed ?

In BII you'll need to use the Sound control panel to select the audio output before you'll hear anything, especially if you initially set up the image on Mini vMac.

You need to have the sound you want to play at boot available in your basilisk folder as a file called startup.wav
Do you have that? And does it play in Windows when you double-click it?

Hello !
Yes I have this " startup.wav " file in the Basilisk folder (it comes with the archive) & yes the sound is working in Windows I don't know why it doesn't work ?!

Nothing. If the sound file "startup.wav" is in the same folder as BasiliskII.exe, the sound should play when BasiliskII is started.
