Re: How to restore a corrupted hard disk image?

I also managed to render a disk unbootable with Mini vMac in “Macintosh II” emulation. I had my Mac OS 7.5.5 hang running a misbehaved compiled binary (CodeWarrior 11). I closed the window and restarted but it wouldn’t boot anymore. I will try again to be sure.

Re: How to restore a corrupted hard disk image?

Well, I remember needing to check the integrity of the file system almost daily after a system crash in the System 7.5.x days. In BasiliskII it will depend on what you are doing, which software you use. Disable extensions that are not needed, shut down the emulator when it is not actively used, and...

Re: How to restore a corrupted hard disk image?

You can always try booting to a minimal system with a copy of Disk FirstAid and try to repair the broken disk from there. It never worked for me, but it's worth trying. Was it common to wreck your system partition upon a crash or improper shutdown on real Macs? Or perhaps Basilisk is prone to this,...

Re: How to restore a corrupted hard disk image?

The best way is to ensure you have backups prior to running your session so you can restore the backup. The other is to keep an emergency image you can boot from, and then you can run Disk First Aid on the other image once you're booted. While I do regular backups, I don’t do it prior every usage. ...

How to restore a corrupted hard disk image?

While using Basilisk, sometimes I have an unexpected crash or shutdown causing a subsequent boot to give me a "no disk" at startup.
I am presuming that the hard disk image is corrupted in some way. How do I "restore" my broken disk image?
Thanks!

Re: Hybrid ISO with BasiliskII for Windows

I mounted as a disk volume, and it shows as a “hard disk” icon as opposed to a “cdrom” icon.

When opened, it shows the PC files and installer.

Note: it works fine under Linux.

Re: Hybrid ISO with BasiliskII for Windows

The game will not run on a 68k emulator like BasiliskII. It was released in 2001 for PPC Mac (and Windows) and should run in Mac OS 8.6 through Mac OS X 10.5.8.

Hybrid ISO with BasiliskII for Windows

Hello friends,

I downloaded the hybrid ISO image for the game "Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego" and when running Basilisk II for Windows, the ISO mounted as a PC (ISO 9660). I could not find the Mac installers... only the Windows EXE installer. How do I make this work?

Thanks!

Re: Keycodes file for Windows with latest code?

Does that make sense? It does. I found that in recent Windows and Linux builds swap_opt_cmd defaults to true, thus interfering with using keycodes files. This was not so in older builds. I hope to convince kanjitalk755 that this change should be reversed, at least when a keycodes file is used. Than...

Re: Keycodes file for Windows with latest code?

Another couple of questions: 1. Do you have in the prefs (configuration) file an entry swap_opt_cmd ? (The prefs file will probably be named .basilisk_ii_prefs in your Home directory.) 2. If yes, is it set to true or false ? 3. If no, can you add that line and see how BasiliskII behaves with either...

Re: Seg fault when starting from Cmd Line remotely

You just need to run export DISPLAY=:id# in your ssh session and programs run will run on the remote display. A quick example:

Code: Select all

maythux@maythuxPC:~$ ssh testSSH@myServer
maythux@maythuxPC:~$ export DISPLAY=:0
maythux@maythuxPC:~$ gedit
Now gedit will run on the user named testSSH display
