hey, need help with my basilisk II emulator, when i boot into mac os 7.5 on it it keeps locking up...(it says "disk initialization failed because the disk is locked"), is there a way to fix this? is there a shortcut to unlock it like pressing any keys on the keyboard.......? thx. it unlocks for a few seconds when i press the enter key but it locks up again.
if I remember correctly, 7.5 doesn't run very well on Basilisk, it's better to run it in mini vMac or mini vMac colour. Basilisk II is great for OS 8 and 8.1, but sheepshaver (which is essentially a powerPC version of Basilisk II for running OS 8.6 and 9) is a complete friggin mess.
the reason i never wanted a mac until a couple of yrs ago was coz this was my first mac expierence and i was comparing this to xp (my school had some spare computers from ages ago but i didnt get the whole picture)
I can with Iso, By downloading a Program such as UltraISO or Alcohol 120 then moun the OS 8 Image using one of those programs. Then Go to BasilikGUI change the Drive letter of the CD drive to the drive that the image is mounted, then try booting it up.
For something this old I really don't think Apple would give a rats ass. They let you download System 7.5.3 for free (which in my eyes is the best ever classic Mac OS, and on a real Mac, I have **never** seen it crash) and yet they won't release OS 8 and 9 for free either? OS 9 wasn't even worth any money in the first place!
@SPTSuperSprinter156 OS 8 and 9 were full of bugs and actually had several viruses back then right? maybe that's a reason those two aren't free either. granted it'll be impossible now to get a virus on a outdated os.
I went to the site and it seems most of the original links (to get it to run on XP) are outdated and are no longer working. I would gladly give you this copy but this computer has long been formatted, sorry. Happy searching!
Nice. Although does it usually jump like that? Or is it just the low fps? Oh and you might want to get a screen recorder in which the watermark is somewhere else than in the center of the screen. That isn't even a watermark though.
yeah i know i thought because the splash didnt say OS 8 it was 7 but i was wrong it is 8. 8.5 or was it 8.6 is when they put the version number on the splash?
Mac OS 8. I remember that god-awful train wreck. Mac OS X is way better and much cooler looking then that piece of crap. Both Mac OS 7 and 8.5 where way better.
Wow! I can see why it was an awful screen recording! Great vid though. :)

@keaneterpol: You need a original Apple monitor. You can also buy a adapter for it so you can use a VGA-monitor on that Mac.

wertman95 2 years ago
Actually, you can. There is a cracked MAC OS X ISO that you simply mount to a dvdrom, and insert into drive, and boot from disk.

I've done this with my own OS8 CDs too, works like a charm.
You can even create your own virtual hard drive, which is awesome. :)

No, you need Sheepshaver, but since Sheepshaver *and* OS9 are both shitty programs, it will run for about 5 minutes before crashing, ad infinitum.
