El Capitan Issue (Basilisk II not working on Mac OS X 10.11)

Post by geastman »

The binary downloaded from http://www.emaculation.com/forum/viewto ... f=6&t=7361 has worked great for years. It stopped working after upgrade to El Capitan (from latest Yosemite). Usually, it crashes immediately on launch. Sometimes it gets to a black screen and endlessly spinning colored ball cursor.

If someone has success with a (possibly more recent) version built from source, please share details. Here is part of a crash report:

Crashed Thread: 12

Exception Codes: 0x0000000000000001, 0x0000000000000000

Well, this is embarrassing. Apparently I was still running the 2009 build on Yosemite. After updating to the 2014 build, all is well.

I tried running both, and found the newer version ran, but really slowly.

Has anyone figured out how to get it to run at full speed?

There are several different builds, each with different properties. Some behave nice in the Finder but games will be unplayable slow, others are good for playing games but very slow in the Finder. We have not been able to find why builds behave so differently. "vasi" was not able to reproduce his builds while he no longer has a OSX 10.6 environment and my OSX 10.6 machine broke down with a hardware issue.

I gave links to all publicly available builds between 2009 and 2014. Apparently the 2009 build does not run in OSX 10.11.

You will need to try each build and see which one suits your needs best.

Thanks;If I find some mythical time to spare, I'll try setting up vase's build inside my 10.6 VBox environment, and see what tweaks affect the runtime speed.
