Basilisk II Pi Zero config issue?

Post by mijk »

Hey, No matter how I edit the .basiliskii_prefs or whatever it’s called, it refuses to load the ROM or drive. I have to manually load them using the command-line option. Now on top of that I can’t use my mouse. It’s a wireless mouse. I even installed gpm in Debian. Thanks for the help.

gpm provides USB mouse support for virtual terminal (text terminal). Is your mouse Bluetooth or uses infrared USB dongle? Are you running Basilisk with or without X windows?

I have a script that installs Basilisk and SDL2 from scratch using Raspberry Pi OS Lite. Doesn’t use X.

You have it on Github? I think I saw it and might give that try. Thanks. I hope I don’t run into similar issues.

To have it up and running, ROM and drive, with USB mouse, it will work. If your mouse is Bluetooth and works under X, then it should work as well. I haven't tried BT mouse under Linux in a long time.
