BasiliskII MacOSX Universal build 18 July 2008 available
New version build from sources July 17th. There should be further improvements with the external file system.
Get the new BasiliskII for Mac OS X here (828 KB):

Other needed files, such as the GUI application and a keycodes file, are not included. Those can be found in the downloads from Gwenole Beauchesne's site:

This is great
I just wanted to say I am very happy with this version of Basilisk, it runs great, is stable, and enables me to use some of my good old favorites like Hypercard.
Thanks for posting!

I just wanted to add my thanks for this build. It's very reliable and very fast under Leopard. Now, I only hope someone will create a good-looking pref-setting program to match the recent one created for SheepShaver.
Meanwhile, I'm very grateful for this excellent build.
One question: is there any way to force the finder windows to refresh themselves automatically? If I add a file to the "Unix" disk from OS X, I have to close and re-open the Unix window to see it in Basilisk. (This is with System 7.5.5.)
Thanks again!

The key commands are transferred to the emulated system and thus will not work on the BasiliskII application itself.
Command-Q does quit applications in the emulated machine.
Command-H and Option-Command-H do not exist for hiding applications in the MacOS versions that run in BasiliskII. Command-H is used for search features in some applications.
Option-Command-H does nothing on my machine with BasiliskII in front.
The keys should be removed from the menus. That is not something that can be done while building the application. Someone should make the appropriate changes in CVS. The same is true for SheepShaver.

Of course you are right about the keystrokes being sent to the application!! How could I have forgotten that? I *thought* Hide Others worked, but probably I made a mistake a clicked tbe menu instead of using the hotkey.
Yes, I hope the changes can be made in CVS.
In order close BasiliskII with a keystroke, I used a Quickeys shortcut; with BasiliskII active, I can press Cmd-Alt-Ctrl-Q and choose Quit BasiliskII from the menu, and then, after a second, Enter to respond to the ShutDown prompt in the emulator.
Thank you again!
