can't get 7.5.3 from apple loaded in basisk

Post by diakonia »

i was following the instructions at http://www.emaculation.com/doku.php/bas ... _osx_setup but when i get to the steps of this

"download the 19 installer parts for System 7.5.3 from Apple and place them in the folder.
Take a look at the file names. If the first is named with a ”.smi” extension and the others with a ”.part” extension, you can skip the next step of double-clicking all files individually. Double-clicking the files will unpack them, leaving you with the double amount of files in the folder. When finished, remove the files not named with the “.smi” or “.part” extensions."

i can download the files but when i click on the System 7.5.3 01of19.smi i get the message
"warning
the following disk images couldn't be opened
system 7.5.3 01of19x legacy image should be converted

I'm not sure what to do

Hi,
Some browsers do not automatically unpack the downloaded files, so that has to be done manually.
The guide says:
If the first is named with a ”.smi” extension and the others with a ”.part” extension, you can skip the next step of double-clicking all files individually.
Obviously your browser did unpack the files, so please skip that step and continue with running the Basilisk GUI.

Best,
Cat_7
