![]() ![]() Shut down the emulated Mac, and start Basilisk II again. Select your new HDD as installation target and select 'Custom installation for any Mac' (or words to that effect). Use Disk Copy to mount all of them, then run the installer from disk image #1. Still inside the emulated Mac, browse to the folder where you downloaded the System 7 images and copy them all to a folder on your HDD image. Open it and browse to where you extracted Disk Copy 6.3.3.smi, copy it to your HDD image and run it. This has full R/W access to the host filesystem, so be careful - if you throw something in the trash on the emulated Mac, you can't get it back! You should see a volume named "unix" on the desktop of the emulated Mac. In the Basilisk GUI, 'create' and mount a 20MB hard disk.īoot from the Disk Tools Image (woo!) if it works, a prompt should appear asking you to initialize the HDD image. Disk Copy 6.3.3 should be in compressed smi.bin format, doubleclick on it to extract it. Set the Disk Tools disk image as boot device.ĭownload Disk Copy 6.3.3 and the System 7 installation disk images from Apple or elsewhere. Set the model to Quadra 900 and point the emulator to your quadra.rom. ![]() In the Basilisk II GUI, set refresh rate to dynamic, set a resolution you like. On OS X (sorry Windows peeps) you can do this:ĭownload Basilisk II for Mac OS from here:įind a Quadra.rom/Quadra650.rom and a bootable System 7 or 8 disk image, usually it's called "Disk Tools". It's odd, it has a memory option for ANY, Chip ram or 24Bit DMA Ram (I'm guessing that should be using the Radeon's memory) but that makes it lock up right when I click start.Īny suggestions? I've tried reading through Cammy's excellent Howto, but still it's not exactly working like I want it to.As of 5 minutes ago I have a 20MB System 7.5 "for any mac" installation up and running in Basilisk II. But If I can't get it to actually work at a usable speed, that kind of makes it pointless. Really at this point, I am just looking to run a different browser under it. Seems to me everything is MUCH faster when running under the Radeon, so it'd be awesome if I could get Shapeshifter to work under it. I downloaded the CardTrickEVD and set it up to run in 1024x768 and it always gave me an out of memory error. I have a Radeon 9250+Mediator in my A4000D and I haven't been able to get shapeshifter to use it without crashing. In trying different configs of Shapeshifter, I managed at one point to get color, but now I can't seem to set the ram above 8MB, and it's giving me a black and white and extremely slow setup. Out of the two, I hadn't even been able to get Basilisk II to do more than give me a white screen and lock up. Personally, I think that when judgement day rolls around, the author will wish that ShapeShifter was just a character in Archon." It was easy to document what code came from where inside of ShapeShifter.Īt this point I really can't do much about ShapeShifter, although there are a couple of legal councils in Germany willing to take 80% of the earnings of a successful lawsuit. We can tell which Apple engineer wrote any part of the ROM or OS code, based on their programming style. ![]() We have gone through gigs of code over the last 4 years, figuring out why certain MAC applications do weird things with our MAC emulation. Joe and I are probably the best 68K reverse engineerers in the world. I just wanted him to stop while he was ahead. I sent two registered letters to the author, and each letter was returned undeliverable. After going through the lawsuit in the UK, the owner did not want to attempt to go after 'some kid in Germany', because it would cost too much money, and we would get nothing back. I immediately starting documenting the code, and the changes that the code went through after several releases (especially after making it clear that much of the code was 'borrowed'). The majority of the code came from AMAX IV, with some of our code, and even Apple's code. After Joe and I looked at it, we were pissed beyond belief. ![]() "About this time ShapeShifter was released. Shapeshifter on aminet was from 2000, basilisk ii is from 2001 (this is according to the dates you get when you click view lha).īaslisk ii was the follow on to Shapeshifter, had was probably abandoned due to legal issues or because the ripped off 68k code wasn't portable. ![]()
