Which GUI version do you use? The latest version 0.22 should work fine for creating new disk images. It can be downloaded from the first post in this topic.
Even though development of the GUI app is ongoing, I really do need to point out that it's still an unhelpful app for those of us who want to make Basilisk II display nicely on Macs with Retina displays, as I mentioned in 2021 here:
viewtopic.php?t=11128
Every single time I want to add a new drive path, which is pretty much every single time I use Basilisk II, which is several days a week, I can't use the GUI app at all. If I do, it will wipe out my 2 display settings:
scale_nearest true
mag_rate 2
These two settings really, REALLY need to be added into the GUI app.
Because the GUI app is lacking in important features like that, what I have to do is LOCK the hidden ".basilisk_ii_prefs" file to prevent it from being overwritten when I launch the regular Basilisk II app. But then when I need to add or change a drive path, I must Unlock the prefs file, open it, manually edit the drive paths via text editor (no GUI app for me!), then save, then re-lock the prefs file, and then and only then launch Basilisk II.
It really is a bothersome nightmare to do this over and over and over again, but that also shows just how much I want a pixel perfect display when I load Basilisk II. I hate fuzzy pixels!
Again, all this was discussed back in 2021. It's now 2024. I really do hope the GUI app can be brought up to speed with "scale_nearest true" and "mag_rate 2" settings so the bothersome hell I need to go through now can finally be a thing of the past.
