Basilisk II is an Open Source 68 k Macintosh emulator. That is, it enables you to run 68 k MacOS software on you computer, even if you are using a CD-ROM driver with basic audio functions - Easy file exchange with the host OS via a 'Host Directory Tree' icon on the Mac desktop - Ethernet driver. The Basilisk II Mac emulator allows you to emulate a 68k Macintosh on a variety of platforms, including BeOS (PowerPC and x86), Unix with X11 (including Linux, Solaris 2.5, FreeBSD and IRIX), AmigaOS 3.x, and Windows. Version 1.0.20140301: Note: Now requires OS X 10.6 - OS X 10.9 and running on a 64/32-bit Intel processor. • Performance improvements. • Support for disk images in sparsebundle format. See explanation and discussion in this topic: viewtopic.php?f=20&t=7974 • Cursor grabbing toggle (Ctrl-F5). Pressing Ctrl-F5 will make the emulator grab the mouse cursor and keep it inside its window. Especially useful for some games. Again pressing Ctrl-F5 will release the cursor. • Window-Fullscreen toggle (Ctrl-Return). Pressing Ctrl-Return will toggle between window mode and full-screen mode. What is Basilisk II for Windows - 68K emulator w/ floppy support? How do i uninstall mcafee internet security for mac. Basilisk II is a Windows program that emulates 68K Macintosh and is used for color 68K emulation, since Mini vMac remains the best option for B&W 68K emulation. • Important changes in RealVideo and Real Format support. • Multi-threaded decoding for H.264, MPEG-4/Xvid and WebM. • Rewritten support for images, including jpeg, png, xcf, bmp etc. • Support for 10bits codecs, WMV image and some other codecs. It is very accurate and functional, supporting floppy disk drives out of the box, color, sound, network and even host to guest (Windows to Mac OS) file sharing via the MY COMPUTER tab > Enable external file system option in the setup program. You can also change the speed emulation to make it slower or faster if the application you want to run is unusable with your current hardware processing speed. To configure Basilisk II, run the BasiliskIIGUI.exe program. Make sure the paths are all correct, notably in the MEMORY tab > Rom file path, you should see the Mac OS ROM file. Also in the DISK tab > Installed disks. You should see the '100MB - Mac OS 7.5.3 - 68k only.dsk' file. If it's not right, then make sure you click browse and navigate to select the appropriate files as mentioned. If you see errors not related to the ROM or DISK file, then consider executing Basilisk II in Windows 7 compatibility mode. 449 / 2017-12-06 / cf38145cbef7510480b4f138ecf016 / Architecture Intel x86-64 Compatibility notes Architecture: x86 (Windows) Basilisk II should run on any version of Windows NT (2000, XP, Vista, 7, 8, 10.) Keyboard Notes With the default BasiliskII keycodes file, arrow keys as well as a few others do NOT work. Instead they may print unexpected characters. Keycodes.txt uploaded to this page enables arrow keys and has been tested under Windows 10 with a standard 104 key keyboard. Fullscreen/Monitors Notes To go fullscreen under the 2015-02-26 version, press simultaneously [CTRL+ENTER] and note that it can dynamically change the color bit depth (B&W, 256 colors mode, thousands of colors mode) like a normal computer. To go fullscreen under the 1.4.2 version, press simultaneously [ALT+ENTER] and take note that this is LOCKED to a single color bit depth, so if you launch BII with 256 colors mode, then you will NOT be able to change the number of colors (e.g.: B&W) while the virtual machine is running, you'll have to close it, change the prefs file and relaunch BII. Furthermore, weird glitches or a even a totally black screen will show if the resolution is unsupported by your system. I found that 800x600 is the lowest resolution at which the fullscreen mode works reliably. Also, colors won't be OK, weird lines and red/blue separation might occur if the color bit depth is set to anything else than 256 colors (at least on my system) so check those things if any of these things happen to you.
