In that case, reboot while holding the “shift” key and manually delete that extension.įigure 4: A Fresh Install of MacOS 8.1 Stuffit Expander and Other Softwareĭownload the files above. Potential Issue: If you customized the installation you may get an error related to the “A/ROSE” extension. You are now finished setting up the emulator. You can configure the given settings, but the emulator will freeze if you attempt to configure network settings. If you have been using a physical CD, remove that and switch to “Boot from Any”. Run “BasiliskIIGUI.exe” and remove the CD image. When the installation is finished shut down the emulated computer (special –> shutdown). Potential issue: If you followed the above instructions but get an image of a floppy disk with a question mark, your CD image is not bootable. Hit “Quit” when the installation is finished. If you need something else from the CD, you can install it later. You probably don't need to customize the installation right now. I suggest that you install the default software.

You should see an icon named something like “Install MacOS 8.1.” Run that to start the installation. Give it a name and select “initialize.” See figure two, below. You will first be asked to initialize the hard disk image you made. If you had the GTK development kit installed to run the old GUI, and it is not used for any other program you have installed, you can remove it too. If everything is OK, you can remove the old folder and its content. Next, run the GUI, point to the required Rom and disks in the new folder (or where you kept them outside of the old folder) and adjust the other GUI settings to match what you had before. If they are outside your old Basilisk II folder, leave them where they are now. If you kept your Rom file and hard disk image(s) in the old Basilisk II folder, copy them into the new folder. The number of dll files may be a bit overwhelming, but the up-side is that it is no longer necessary to install the GTK development kit to run the GUI. Most dll (application extensions) files included are needed to run the GUI.

If you are upgrading from an old version of Basilisk II, the best thing to do is to download all files into a new folder and make a fresh start (but you can still use your old disk image and ROM).
