Trying to setup BasilliskII, but BasilliskIIGUI doesn't seem to open in Lion. What should I do?

BasiliskII, the 4 October 2009 build, will run in Lion (though not in full-screen mode). But you need a second application to set it up. That used to be BasiliskIIGUI.

BasiliskIIGUI does indeed not run in Lion, it is replaced by a new BasiliskIIGUI application for 10.6. and 10.7, created by "vasi". See first post in this sticky topic: viewtopic.php?f=6&t=7100

In the same topic is a discussion about building a BasiliskII for Lion that would again run full-screen. In this topic is a link to a build, also by "vasi", that does that and has better performance. So best use that BasiliskII build: viewtopic.php?p=40593#p40593

(Note that at setup in the GUI, in the "JIT Compiler" tab all options must be checked and the translation cache set a little higher to 8192 KB for best performance.)

Thanks. Everything is installed OK. But I have another problem. There is no Unix icon on my 'desktop'. So I can't see "those 19 files". What did I do wrong?

With some early System versions the Unix 'disk' does not appear. If you use the DiskTools_MacOS8.image as startup volume that should not be the problem. The most common cause for the Unix icon not appearing is not having entered the correct path to the shared folder in the GUI app. Unlike with SheepShaver, for BasiliskII it must be the full path.

Yes, I use this one.



Thanks! The problem was in quotes in the path.

BTW I used the second (fullscreen) version of the GUI app and, unfortunately, Mac OS 7, The Shivers, everything went in black & white. Why so?

Ohh, I've just found out. The screen resolution should be set to 640x480 in the GUI app. Thanks anyway!
