Do you still use BasiliskII?

Now emulators like PearPC and SheepShaver have been released, is there anyone here who still uses BasiliskII?

I'd like to know if there is anyone out there doing any work on Basilisk II for Windows. I love Basilisk II, but I'd like to be able to run OS9 on it.

Isn't PowerPC emulation needed for that?

It is, but as Sheepshaver has used a lot of Basilisk code to get to the point where it can boot OS9 in Linux, I guess the path is there to get it working for Windows - it's just that no one has gone down it yet.

I use B2 a lot still

, and the only reason is that i dont have an OSX disk for PearPC, and that my computers are due for upgrades

I use Basilisk II with OS 8.1. It helps me out with a few old 68k systems I have and some of my friends have.

yeah i use Basilisk, even vMac

SheepShaver is just TOO GODDAMN UNSTABLE on Windows. i tried to figure out which extensions caused some crashes but even with all extions off i still have other crashed. and PearPC, too goddamn slow...

I use Basilisk II all the time to remote Manage my Mac and download mac only files from hotline servers.

I still use Basilisk II whenever i need to work on graphics and such because i have Photoshop 3.5 on it. I have 4.0 on my 6100 but it was deadly slow before i upgraded it to a G3/480 with an upgrade card. Using Basilisk II on Windows XP is just a faster cross-platform solution for me.

You are kidding right? If you are an American downloading warez using any popular P2P software, you are being monitored and are on a list.

hahahaha on a list?? hahaha what goddamn list? a list of millions people? im not american, im french, and one thing i know is that in this country of 62 million people, 8 million have used P2P. lol, you're a thousand time more likely to get killed in a car accident than being put in jail for P2P. where you heard about that bullshit man? then, i dont think one can know your IP when using eMule (thats all i use)
