'Could not start BasiliskII (no such file or directory)'

Post by cwestbrook »

Hi there,

I'm new to Basilisk. I have run SheepShaver for a few years, but recently encountered a game (Return to Zork) that SheepShaver wouldn't run, asking to initialize the disc. I'm assuming this is because it wants to run on an older OS, so I looked into Basilisk.

I followed the really helpful setup instructions, including setting up volumes, and I have a ROM and boot disk from redundant robot, but when I click start I get the error "Could not start BasiliskII (no such file or directory)". Everything is in the same folder, which is a subfolder in /Applications. I'm running Sierra on a 2013 MacBook Air.

I'm sure it's a simple fix but I have no idea where to start. Thanks!

Return to Zork should play fine under SheepShaver. See the comments here: http://macintoshgarden.org/games/return-zork.
