Okay, so now the Image is mounted, but when I launch either of the installers it says it is locked. I don't have an option to unlock it. Do I need to copy this to a temp folder on my HDD and then run it? Edit: So I did the copy to my HDD, and I still get the same error that it is locked. I check al...

Here is the software https://www.macintoshrepository.org/download.php?id=37932, maybe it is not compatible with System 7.5? I do not know how to find out from which version is compatible with which operating system version, do you know how I can find out? A Better Finder Series Tool Suite (Compatib...

I did not find this mentioned here:
You Can Run Mac OS 8 on Your Mac, Linux or Windows Machine. And It’s Awesome…

From the README.md file on github:

This is Mac OS 8, running in an Electron app pretending to be a 1991 Macintosh Quadra. Yes, it's the full thing. I'm sorry.

Oh I see, so at least when examining Mac files, I would need to hex edit the disk image itself to understand the file type? I can see the Disk Doubler signature when I do that. You should mount the disk image and check the file type with Creator Changer . You could also use ResEdit . Then I assume ...

However, some old Mac file types just depend on the T&C in the Resource fork to do this. Yes, classic MacOS files (and therefore, the files in BasiliskII) depend on the type/creator. But it is neither in the data nor the resource fork of the file. It is stored on the disk. However, the binding ...

Just an educational question - how do you know when you are dealing with a compressed file based on the information you might see in a hex editor? Is there another file signature to look for to show that it has been compressed? The file signature, i.e., the type and creator, is stored on the Macint...

The ".pm" files are Pagemaker files compressed with DiskDoubler.

As far as I can tell, the two downloads (emacs18.59.sea_.sit and Emacs_1.1.7.sit) contain the same files when extracted.

Have you selected the correct keycodefile in ~/.basilisk_ii_prefs?

Do you have a correct X11 Server vendor string in your Basilisk II keycodefile?

I recommend you replace the currency sign ¤. It is #219 in the Mac font table.

You can probably find a copy of Fontographer in Macintosh Garden.

Or try this:

Make a disk image of each floppy with Disk Copy.
Unmount the floppies.
Mount the disk images by double-clicking.
Start installation from the first disk.

Thank you, the name helped me find the one I was looking for: Keys!

I think there is an old mac (7.x) extension that automatically added keyboard shortcuts to dialog/alert buttons (first letter). Does anyone remember the name?

Hey, I tried that, too. It does work.

Try setting the Monitors control panel to 256 or Thousands of colors.

I found a solution thanks to this page: http://tonyobryan.com/index.php?article=9 I added the following lines into the video_x.cpp file: #include <X11/Xatom.h> typedef struct { unsigned long flags; unsigned long functions; unsigned long decorations; long inputMode; unsigned long status; } My_Hints; ...

I would like to remove the Basilisk II window title bar and borders. I searched the web and I think I found a proper function to do that, see: http://library.gnome.org/devel/gtk/2.18/GtkWindow.html#gtk-window-set-decorated But where should I add the function call? Somewhere in the main_unix.cpp file?

I did have JIT enabled as it provides a HUGE speed boost on my system. Back when I had Fedora 13, I benchmarked my "Mac" as being about the Spped of a Quadra 605 without JIT and being faster than any 68K Mac ever made with it... I had not run JIT enabled for a long time so I gave it a try...

I installed 32-bit Fedora 14 (from DVD) in VirtualBox. Again, I chose the "Software Development" option. The autogen.sh scripts works just fine (because the configure script does not report warnings). The conclusion is that the autogen.sh script does not work properly on 64-bit SciLinux an...

Did you try my build? I have tried all your builds in this thread and they all give the error "bad ELF interpreter" (if I remember correctly). BTW, I thought autoconf (autogen.sh) is for developers only. The tester-user (like me) should only be required to do the ./configure; make drill.

I did a default install from a live cd, and then installed the development packages manually. That why I don't remember what I installed exactly. I then downloaded the clean source and built it. OK. Does the live CD have a "Software Development" installation option like the DVD? And are y...
