Title: Classic MAC emulator on WinXP needed
Post by: X-ray on January 29, 2011, 03:11:14 PM
Hi folks, did a search, found Basilisk and SoftMAC, but can't get either of those to work.
Has someone here successfully emulated a classic MAC on Windows32?
If so, I would like to know how you did it (ironically I would have been better off doing this on the Amiga with Shapeshifter but on this occasion I have to use a PC).
Looking for an all-in one download of the system 7 OS also.
Thanks for your help!

Hi dude! Good to see you around. I've had Basilisk working on Win32. What problems are you having with it?

Cammy recently posted in another thread and gave lots of good info on Mac emulation, including a link to a hardfile of System 7 she is hosting. Also, there's good info in Emaculation (at least there was when I last looked).

I think I had a bad ROM image before, I was getting a grey screen that never changed.
All seems good now, success!

That was my problem too. The legal(ish) ROM image I had that worked on shapeshifter didn't work for Basilisk. I downloaded one and it worked no problem.

ISTR having the same problem. I had try a number of ROM images before I found one that worked, and certain ROM images worked on some emulators but not others.
