See also the information below the download links!

Universal, will run natively on both Intel and Apple Silicon
Recommended for macOS 10.13 (High Sierra) through 14 (Sonoma)
Download: https://www.emaculation.com/basilisk/Ba ... 240228.zip

This build:
New advanced feature with prefs item "init_grab true". See setup guide.

• SDL2 port, 1 August 2021, universal (x86_64 and arm64) from github.com/kanjitalk755/macemu source
Recommended for Mac OS X 10.9 (Mavericks) through macOS 10.12 (Sierra)

• SDL2 port, 4 May 2019, Intel 64-bit from github.com/kanjitalk755/macemu source

Download: https://ronaldpr.home.xs4all.nl/basilis ... 190504.zip

• For the above SDL2 port builds:
- If you have an existing BasiliskII setup, you can simply replace the application with the new application.
- If you use an older BasiliskII_keycodes file, you will also need to replace that file with this new one: https://ronaldpr.home.xs4all.nl/basilis ... ycodes.zip

• Older builds
A variety of older builds can be found in the next post.

For a new BasiliskII setup a BasiliskIIGUI application and a keycodes file are needed:
- BasiliskIIGUI is 32-bit only. It can be used up to macOS 10.14 (Mojave). Download: https://www.emaculation.com/basilisk/BasiliskIIGUI.zip
- Basilisk II GUI (beta) can be used in macOS 10.13 (High Sierra) and later. See this forum topic: viewtopic.php?f=6&t=10454
- Unless you use an USA-English keyboard, you will also need a BasiliskII_keycodes file. Download: https://ronaldpr.home.xs4all.nl/basilis ... ycodes.zip
- For more information see the revised setup manual: https://www.emaculation.com/doku.php/ba ... _osx_setup

BasiliskII Disk Image Chooser (with thanks to our member "emendelson")
Selecting and managing disk image files can be done in the volumes list in the old BasiliskIIGUI, but this AppleScript application is easier to use for that purpose.

Download: https://www.emaculation.com/basilisk/Ba ... hooser.zip

HFSUtilsGUI (with thanks to our member "sentient06")
Creates HFS (and HFS+) disk image files. Still works in macOS 10.15 Catalina.

When I posted my March 2014 build I hoped to bring some order in all the various BasiliskII builds floating around. But it appeared that some games suffer from extreme stuttering in that build. Those games do run smoothly in builds by vasi, though.

Discussion in this topic: http://www.emaculation.com/forum/viewto ... f=6&t=8297

Here are all the builds made available publicly between 2009 and 2014:

1. Compiled from cebix/macemu source:

October 2009 UB build by me (10.4 and up), with PPC-only GUI included:
http://www.xs4all.nl/~ronaldpr/basilisk ... 091004.zip

October 2011 builds by vasi (10.6 and up, 32-bit):
BasiliskII: https://github.com/downloads/vasi/b2gui ... I-10.6.zip
BasiliskIIGUI: https://github.com/downloads/vasi/b2gui ... I-10.6.zip

March 2013 builds by vasi (10.6 and up, 32-bit, with sparsebundle support):
BasiliskII: https://www.dropbox.com/sh/krq4jq9dsrem ... II.app.zip
BasiliskIIGUI: https://www.dropbox.com/sh/krq4jq9dsrem ... UI.app.zip

March 2014 build by me (10.6 and up, 32-bit, with sparsebundle, cursor grabbing toggle, and window-fullscreen toggle support) now with October 2011 GUI included.
http://www.xs4all.nl/~ronaldpr/basilisk ... 140301.zip


2. Compiled from dsumorok/macemu source:

July 2013 builds by Cat_7 with with special support for simplified AppleTalk setup on wired networks. These builds are for 10.8 and up, are 64-bit, and have sparsebundle, cursor grabbing toggle, window-fullscreen toggle support. See topic: http://www.emaculation.com/forum/viewto ... f=6&t=8067
Cat_7 notes: These builds do not stem from the official source code repository and will most likely not be updated when the official source code changes.
