Re: Custom Boot Chime on Basilisk II
You do not tell how you tried.
You can use any sound in .wav format to play as startup sound when the file is (re)named "Startup.wav" and is placed in the same folder as BasiliskII application itself.

Re: Custom Boot Chime on Basilisk II
Did you make sure the file is named "Startup.wav" and is it placed in the same folder as SheepShaver.exe?
Does the sound file play if you double-click the file?

Re: Custom Boot Chime on Basilisk II
Yes, sorry. It should work the same way in BasiliskII.
I have no idea why it does not work for you.

Re: Custom Boot Chime on Basilisk II
You didn't say what the host system is (macOS, Windows, Linux).
Here, the startup.wav sound works correctly under macOS and Windows, but I haven't tested under Linux.
You might want to rename some other known-good .wav file as startup.wav and try it, to see if your file is somehow causing the problem.

Re: Custom Boot Chime on Basilisk II
Last time I tried using the "Startup.wav" for a BII chime on linux it did not work.
So I did a bash script that launch BII and play a chime sound.
You can use the play command from the sox package :
then use something like this :
the play command should of course point to your chime sound file.
If you goooogle "Macintosh startup sound", you will find a lot, for many Mac models.
like here :
https://www.soundboard.com/sb/Computer2
make the script executable, and try.
Tweak the delay between the actual BII startup and the sound play with the sleep command, depending on your system.
So I did a bash script that launch BII and play a chime sound.
You can use the play command from the sox package :
Code: Select all
sudo apt install sox
Code: Select all
#!/bin/bash
export DISPLAY=:0
BasiliskII &
sleep 0.5
play /home/galgot/macemu/sounds/si.aiff

Re: Custom Boot Chime on Basilisk II
Ah sorry then, can't help.
But thanks, at least we know what your guest system is now, and that "Startup.wav" doesn't work either

Re: Custom Boot Chime on Basilisk II
It should work on Windows. It works for everyone else on both macOS and Windows.
Make sure you use a BasiliskII build that supports this feature. All recent (May 2021 and later) builds posted here support the startup sound.
Get a suitable startup sound file.
If it is not a .wav file, convert it to wav format.
Make sure the file is named "startup.wav".
Place the file in the same folder as BasiliskII.exe
