• Jan 19, 2018 You probably know what Basilisk II is, but if not, a quick summary: Basilisk II (manual)is an open source emulator for 68k-based Macintosh computers that support 32bit memory (therefore you can NOT boot System 6 under Basilisk, but you can setup System 6 on a secondary drive image, see Section 5) that runs on Windows, OS X and Linux (also works on some other platforms).
• Newer Mac OS versions are incompatible because they require a PowerPC-based processor, which Basilisk II cannot emulate. Ports of Basilisk II exist for multiple computing platforms, including AmigaOS 4, BeOS, Linux, Amiga, Windows NT, Mac OS X, MorphOS.
• Jun 17, 2013  Basilisk II emulates up to a 68040 Macintosh, which can run Mac OS 7.x through 8.1. This manual can be used with or later builds of BasiliskII. Please note: This manual describes setting up BasiliskII with MacOS 7.5.3 (free to download from Apple), inside a folder called BasiliskII in your Home folder.
• Apr 27, 2008  It seems like Basalisk II is better suited for Mac OS 7. You need a ROM image of a particular model of macintosh. You need to create a file that will represent the mac's harddrive (which you can do through Basalisk II) That will get the emulator to start but not actually run anything. You need some kind of startup disk since the harddrive file.

The 68k Mac emulators (Basilisk II, Fusion PC and SoftMac) can use either 512 KB or 1 MB ROM images. 512 KB ROM's come from older Macs that cannot run Mac OSes after 7.5.5 or 7.6.1 (no OS 8.x). If you have a 1 MB ROM image, you are in luck and can run up to OS 8.1 on the Mac emulators. Basilisk II is an open source emulator of 68xxx-based Macintosh computers for Windows, OS X and Linux. With Basilisk II, one can boot Mac OS versions 7.x through 8.1. Ports of Basilisk II are available for Mac OS X, Windows, Linux and a number of lesser known systems. Users require a Macintosh ROM image and a copy of Mac OS to use with the emulator.

'cannot be mounted from the disk it is currently on'

The 'unix' drive should only be used to transfer files between the emulated hard drive and the host computer. It is very dangerous to work with files in the 'unix' drive other than as a 'go-between' as classic Mac files can be made unusable if run from within this drive.

You can easily create further classic Mac 'hard disk' image files much larger than 500 MB and mount them in the same emulated session.

You can also, mount large image files in the emulator by adding them to the list of drives before starting an emulated session. This way large image files will mount on the emulated desktop as a hard drive disk and you can access the contents that way, negating the need to create a drive for it.

If your B-II session is windowed and not full-screen you can also drag an image file from your host computer into the B-II window and it will mount as a disk drive this way, too.

In order for image files to mount, they need to be in a suitable format, i.e. Uncompressed disk image. Either drag or add to the list of hard drives and see if it mounts OK.

- 2006.02.20 -Tip Jar

We'rein the middle of yet another of Apple's big transitions.

In the first half of the 1990s, there was the transition fromthe Mac's original 680x0 family of CPUs to the PowerPC chips. Inthe early 2000s, there was a transition from the classic line ofMac operating systems to the Unix-derived OS X family. And nowApple has released the first models powered by Intel CPUs, withpromises that the whole product-line will be Intel-powered by theend of 2006.

While each transition has ultimately been good for users, eachtime there's been a rough period as software had to catch up withthe new hardware. Early adopters of PowerPC-based Macs had to runsoftware designed for the earlier models; it would run on the PowerMacs, but at nothing like the speed those models were capableof.

If OS X users need to run software designed for pre-OS X Macoperating systems, they can launch Classic-mode; a window runningMac OS 9.2.x on their OS X desktop. It's a bit awkward, but itworks - at least most of the time.

Owners of the new Intel-powered Macs are hit with a doublewhammy. OS X had to be rewritten to run on this very differentprocessor family, and to get best performance applications alsoneed to be recompiled (and in some cases completely rewritten) tosupport the new hardware and operating system version.

OS X software compiled for PowerPC processors will run on theIntel Macs, using a translation layer called Rosetta. But Rosetta'son-the-fly translations sap computer performance. Thoseapplications run noticeably slower than on comparableprevious-generation Macs.

Mac OS 9 isn't usable at all on the new hardware, so users whostill rely on old Classic mode applications are simply out of luckif, lured by promises of double or triple the performance, theypurchase a new Intel-powered Mac.

Or are they?

Nov 22, 2015  MacBook, Mac OS X (10.5.8) Posted on Nov 20, 2015 10:41 AM Reply I have this question too ( 11 ) I have this question too Me too (11) Me too.

There are a couple of ways to make an end run around the IntelMacs' lack of Classic mode support. For instance, if users stillhave their previous Mac around (or if they buy a low-cost Mac likea mini), they could simply keepusing it when they need access to that old Classic modeapplication.

VNC: The Hardware Solution

Somewhat more high tech would be to keep that PowerPC Mac up andrunning, then access it from the Intel Mac using a remote desktopapplication like the open source VNC (Virtual NetworkComputing). A wide range of versions of VNC are available for awide range of computing platforms, including both OS X andOS 9.

Running a VNC server on the old Mac (running either OS X or evenOS 9) and a VNC client on the new Intel Mac with bothconnected on a TCP/IP network would let a user sitting at the newMac open up a window to the old one and run the Classic applicationremotely.

Emulation: The Software Solution

I'm taking a different course, however. Instead, I'm trying outemulators. Here's why:

I have a teacher colleague who just replaced his Windows PC witha brand new Intel iMac. Everything'sfine, except that elementary teachers in our school district oftenuse a program called Silhouette for generating reportcards. Duet Software has produced a Windows version and a ClassicOS Mac version. Since the Classic OS version runs fine underOS X Classic mode, they haven't created a native OS Xversion.

When I queried them, the two teachers who are Duet Software intheir spare time said that it would require a complete rewrite toproduce an OS X version, and with rumours that the schooldistrict will be moving to other software within the next year orso, it's not high on their to-do list.

Why not emulate Windows?

So those teachers with new Intel Macs who need Silhouette wouldseem to be out of luck. Current versions of Windows emulators -Virtual PC and Guest PC (see GuestPC: A More Affordable Way to Put Windows on Your Mac) - won'trun on Intel Macs. Another emulator, iEmulator is promising anIntel-capable version soon, while OpenOSX WinTel claims its emulatoralready runs on the Intel hardware.

I'm waiting for the promised version of iEmulator and have spenta lot of time working with various versions of OpenOSX WinTelwithout having gotten to a point where I feel comfortablerecommending it as a solution.

Instead, I'm looking using emulation to put an older Mac in awindow on my colleague's Intel iMac.

Emulate a 680x0 Mac

I've previously written about Basilisk II, an open sourceemulator that puts a 680x0 Mac in a window on a Windows (or otheroperating system) desktop (see MacEmulation With Basilisk II, vMac and Basilisk II Puts a Mac on a WindowsComputer). Since those 2002 articles, a version of Basilisk IIhas been released that lets it rununder Mac OS X as well. I've tried this on my PowerPC Mac,and it works - though I haven't been able to get the networkingfunctional, something that works fine on the Windows version, in myexperience.

(It may be just me - any reader who is able to get the Macversion's networking into gear should please drop me a line!)

It's kind of cool. But since my PPC Mac has Classic mode, Idon't have much need to run a 680x0 Mac in a Window on my G5 iMac.(Your needs may differ. If you have old software that won't rununder OS 9 or won't run at all in OS X's Classic mode, maybethis will let you continue to be productive).

I was pessimistic about running Basilisk II on an Intel Mac,however. After all, the various Windows emulators don't seem to runwith the Intel Mac's Rosetta translation. They require extensiverewriting.

So I was pleasantly surprised when Icopied the Basilisk II folder from my PPC iMac to my colleague'sIntel iMac and discovered that it just worked!

There it was, a 68040-powered Mac Performa running Mac OS 7.6 ina window on an Intel iMac. A nice touch in Basilisk II is that itputs a 'Unix' icon on the desktop, allowing easy transfer of filesbetween the emulated Mac and its host system. That will be a bighelp in getting report card files out to the world.

Basilisk II Setup

In order to make Basilisk II work, you need three things:

• The Basilisk II application. Since it's open source, it can bedownloaded freely
• A copy of an older Mac operating system. Apple has madeoperating system versions up to System 7.5.5 freely downloadable.You can find links for a wide range of older Mac operating systemversions on Low End Mac's Classic Mac OSDownloads and Updates page. Apple included 680x0 support inoperating system versions up to Mac OS 8.1, so that's the lastversion that Basilisk II can run.
• An image file of the ROM from a 680x0 Mac. In general, you'llget best performance from a more recent 68040 model. Apple retainscopyright on their ROM code, so you can't legally download these(and I won't send my copies out, so please don't email me).Instead, if you find a working older Mac, you can 'capture' a ROMimage (see Capturinga Mac ROM Image)

You can find more details on getting set up with Basilisk II on68kClassic Mac Gaming on OS X Using Basilisk.

While it works, Basilisk II is limited to emulating 680x0 Macs;in effect, models up to about 1994.

Emulate a PowerPC

Another open source project, SheepShaver, promises PowerPCemulation, in theory allowing emulation of hardware up to the 1998beige G3s with operating systems up toMac OS 9.0. The project has recently announced what they describeas an 'experimental' port to Mac OS X for Intel.

Like Basilisk II, SheepShaver requires a Mac ROM image. In someways, however, it may be easier to get the required ROM. Accordingto GwenoleBeauchesne's SheepShaver Wiki, the so-called New World ROMimage files included on Mac OS 8.5 and 8.6 CDs should be usable.Alternatively, a ROM Grabber utility can be used to make an image from the ROMson any of a wide range of Power Macs.

SheepShaver has borrowed a number of features,including CD-ROMand ethernet support, from Basilisk II, updating them to run on(emulated) newer hardware. At least so I've heard.

I've been trying to make it work with the ROM file from a Mac OS8.5 CD. So far, all I get is a black window.

I'll keep you informed - and again, if any of you are having anybetter luck with SheepShaver, please let me know!

For now, with Basilisk II running happily on the Intel iMac, myteacher colleague is able to get the Classic support he needs - aslong as he's prepared to use software that will run on vintage Machardware and operating system versions.

In other words, putting a low-end Mac on a new Mac.

Works for me!
