Problem playing game in BasiliskII

Post by afro »

Now, I have another problem.

So, the barrack game works on Basilisks II, but not for long. If I play a few short games it's fine (ie. I lose quickly). If I lose quickly and the this is followed by a longer game (I lose slower), then the "firing splitter" that is used to separate the balls in barrack, stops firing. Further, the game basically freezes as I can not exit it or do anything else. If I then try to close with the "red x" button beside the minimize button of Basilisks II, nothing happens. Nor of course can I shut it down from the special menu. So I am forced to do "control, esc" to shut down game and Basiliks II together.

When I start Basilisks II again the game works for a brief period before the above repeats time and time again.

What's going on here?

I think this is a known bug -- I seem to recall avoiding using Barrack in BII for some reason. Works fine in SheepShaver though I think?

Possibly you might need to change the mouse input style you're using, or try switching between windowed and full screen mode.

I meant the window or full screen change doesn't help.

Don't know about sheepshaver. Have not tried. What else can I do with Basilisks II to make it work? Now, it's not even lasting one longer game...

The game does indeed have issues with System 7.5.5 but runs fine in MacOS 9.0.4 in SheepShaver. See the other topic where we discuss your SheepShaver setup.
