Hi all!
Got a great time with basilisk on my android tablet. But faced a problem. I managed to run old 2CD game "Cassandra galleries" but in the end of 1 half game asks for inserted 2nd disk. I have both disks on desktop of my emulated macos8.1 but have no idea how to swap disks. Please help.

Re: Basilisk II Android port - progress thread
This app works for me with BII OS8 to mount CD images: http://macintoshgarden.org/apps/virtual ... cd-utility
Maybe you can fool the game to "think" both CDs are inserted.
I´m not aware of a way to swap removable volumes in BII.
I did not try with 7 though - the CD images have to be copied onto a volume to be mounted by BII obviously.
As BII for Android does handle files from a USB stick, it should not be too hard.

Thank you so much!!!!
With that utility I have really tricked the game. I have mounted both disks and when the game asked for 2nd disk just "ejected" 1st and... it works!

Re: Basilisk II Android port - progress thread
I have Basilisk II running smoothly on my Samsung Galaxy Tab S2 9.7 inch with a bluetooth keyboard and bluetooth mouse and it is quite amazing! Thank you to all of the amazing folks who have put work in on this project!
There are a few issues that I have noticed: perhaps the good folks on this board can tell me if they're hardware specific or a function of the current build status.
1) the GUI only allows me to list 4 img, iso, hfv, or dsk files
2) I can't seem to get Basilisk II to read the .basilisk_ii_prefs file to mount an *.iso as cdrom in the emulator

Re: Basilisk II Android port - progress thread
4MB? Thats strange.
On my 7 inch Lenovo tablet, I can assign 512MB RAM to BasiliskII, not that I would need it.
As for ISO files, I can´t select those via the GUI either, but its possible to add ISO volumes in the .basilisk_ii_prefs with your favorite text editor, e.g Jota.
After adding the file by hand it shows up in the GUI as it should.
The prefs file is located at /mnt/sdcard/Android/data/net.cebix.basilisk in my case.
BTW, you may also set your preferred screen dimensions for BII in the prefs file, in case the Mac screen does not look right.

I think you might have misread his post, or I'm missing something.
The GUI only allows him to list 4 image files. I don't see anything about memory size?

Re: Basilisk II Android port - progress thread
Yes, my bad again. Four volumes, not four MB.
The known BII build for Android does indeed have a limitation of four volumes, no matter how they are added.
Hi-res screens and bad eyes do not seem to work well together.

Re: Basilisk II Android port - command line keys
Hello World,
I am new to this forum and for that matter also new to the Macintosh 64k.
I am running the Basilisk II port based on SDL from te playstore and it generally works just fine, but I can not get the Apple command key mapped properly.
I am running Basilisk II on a tablet with Bluetooth keyboard attached and Android catches all but two of all function/special keys beofore they ever get through to the emulator.
And those two keys are already needed - so I can't remap them.
If I remap any of the others, I'll loose a letter of the alphabet or some other digit..
Can anyone help me out here?
