Flight Simulator 1.02 won't load
Posted: Sat Jul 18, 2020 10:48 pm
Running OSX Catalina. Pretty sure I followed the setup guide properly and I can boot Basiliskii to Mac OS 7.5.3.
My memory of using an old Mac is fuzzy, but ALL I really want to do with it is play that old Flight Simulator version. So I downloaded this:
https://archive.org/details/mac_Flight_Simulato102
Unzip and I see a .dsk in there. I "Add" that using the Basiliskii GUI. First time I simply added it after my hard drive image, so my "machine" booted and I saw the floppy image. But trying to run anything from there just yields a weird message that basically seems to say "boot the machine with the floppy" and says "click the mouse to reboot" but it seems Basiliskii is locked up at that point. Killing it and then using the GUI to put the Flight Sim .dsk first just results in a bouncing Basiliskii icon that won't ever start and shows as "not responding" in activity monitor and I have to Force Quit it.
I'm running the PERFORMA.BIN ROM and I've tried all manner of turning JIT on and off as well as all memory and CPU options. Sometimes I can actually get a Basiliskii grey screen with like half of the machine icon before it beach balls and is locked up. Ooh, now that I think of it, the only time I see it get THAT far is if I Remove my hard disk image completely from the list of volumes in the GUI and ONLY have the Flight Sim .dsk in there.
Surely I'm doing something wrong?
