Mac OS 8 Emulation

An AWFUL screen recording of Basilisk II booting on my Dell 4100 series. This is before really I knew how to screencast anything so the frame rate is awfully low.

And YES you will need your OWN System 8 cds... no you can't have mine.

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. :)

[@flydaddyophus]

I haven't used Basilisk in years so I cannot help. Check the description links on the right. The forums at the sourceforge page are pretty active.

[@bubbyt75]

Yes, there is a linux version.
Just make sure you find the Mac Rom
and OS 8 Software.

[@videlanghelo]

The Platinum theme is present only in Mac OS 8 and 9, so I don't believe that it is Mac OS 7.

[@flydaddyophus]

low fps + unregistered screen recorder = one of the worst youtube experiences

@Blitzerboy1408
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.

[@NoogahOogah]

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.

[@hmuhammad0746]

Mac OS 7 was probably the best back then.

[@flydaddyophus]

Sorry, I should have said it earlier.
Basilisk II

[@kargaroc386]

i was able to extract the raw Systrem 8 installer from a G3 installer cd

[@SPTSuperSprinter156]

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

[@larskbragdon]

probably a mac monitor i think the conectin type is adb but dont quote me on that i beleve there are converters to vga

@johncenabektas What?

[@flydaddyophus]

I went to the site and it seems most of the original links (to get it to run on XP) are outdated and are no longer working.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!

[@SPTSuperSprinter156]

@ioncomputershow

[@Laspersonas]

sorry! where can i find this program Basilisk II ?

[@LysergicCasserole95]

the windows link doesn't work

[@elkillerx]

Cool i did the same thing too..runs perrty good

[@kbolosis]

Is there any Classic Macintosh Emulator that can run Mac OS 8 .IMG!!!!!?
BasiliskII doesn't support this...

[@Laspersonas]

whats the name of the emulator dude!!?

[@SPTSuperSprinter156]

@EuroCarfan00
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!

[@leodamascus]

Google CamStudio. Please.

[@BluJayMix]

Wow! I can see why it was an awful screen recording! Great vid though. :)

[@cmfoleg4333]

ERROR!

[@dwegiel]

[@iCjtMC]

HERE IS the link for Basilisk for windows: www.open.ou.nl/hsp/downloads/BasiliskII_06-05-2013.zip

[@NoogahOogah]

I can tell you how to actually install Mac OS X on a PC. PM me to find out how.

[@flydaddyophus]

Google Basilisk II

[@monotonespectrum]

Yeah, well PSP's suck.
