This really does need to be a PBS series at this point.
YES!
YESSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
YYYYEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Apple, too!
YESSIR!
That slow-zoom on maccy with the dial-up sounds and PTSD flashbacks at 3:30 is golden
Maccy was spacin' out!
This tutorial was done more professionally than some channels do who have millions of subscribers.
It's da sweet spot of TH-cam
The sounds Maccy makes while trying to stay alive in a video game never disappoint.
This is one of the coolest things I've ever found on TH-cam

Thank you for this tutorial Ms Fox. It's still proving helpful two years later. I got a System 7 Mac virtualized on my PopOS laptop with full networking by following your exact steps. It's only missing proper sound, playing PC speaker beeps instead. Your instructions helped me configure SheepShaver for Mac 9.0.4 as well, which has working sound and allowed me to install vintage PowerPC games such as Interplay's Descent. What a treat!
I have fond memories of the IIci. With some upgrades, they were still very useful machines almost a decade after they were made.
I've been using Basilisk II since 2005! It's an institution by this point!
This video could not have come at a better time. I had just begun looking into setting up Basilisk II and needed a detailed walkthrough. This is perfect.
Maccy is one of the most adorable things I have ever seen. So cool to have found this channel
THANK YOU SO MUCH! I put all my classic Mac stuff into Stuffit archives and transferred them over to a PC 20 years ago (using AIM over my home network!). Was hoping someday to get be able to access this stuff again. Mission accomplished! An excellent video with instructions that are easy to follow! A+ Thanks again!
Glad I could help! Glad you kept all your old files!
Out of all the TH-cam channels you and Mac are the only ones I would love to meet. I wish you made more content because it's interesting
Alright Ms. Fox, consider this the bookmark comment... we're looking to emulate Laurie Anderson's Puppet Motel on a modern Mac, we'll get back to you on the results (; excellent presentation by the way, love the atmosphere of the show!
I haven't used Basilisk II since the early 2000s. Thank you for creating a great tutorial to help refresh my memory on how to use it. I look forward to watching all your videos.
Thanks to this video, I managed to set up an extremely rare Macintosh system 7, which I would publish an article about later on.
Great video, Kate! I especially appreciated the overview of configuring the network side of Basilisk, which I will do with my install this weekend. Keep up the great work!
Gosh I still remember when basilisk was first released!
It's nice to see you both back. I used to use Basilisk II and Shapeshifter on my Amiga to emulate a 68k mac, my PC at the time emulated 68k a bit too slowly but so my Amiga did the trick.
I have been curious about ShapeShifter on the Amiga! Time to get an accelerator for my Amiga 500!
What a brilliant video. Very well produced and informative. As a classic Mac newbie, this is invaluable.
Thank You! I watched this video when it first came out. Today a friend asked me about opening up an Aldus Pagemaker(!) file and converting it to a PDF. I'm rewatching your thorough instructions.
Finally a good tutorial on how to setup Basilisk II.
Maybe it's a Mac thing, but on PC you can mount HDA-images without any issue. Even without changing file extension to DSK.
Oh wow .. I remember Basilisk II. I'm amazed it's still around. I used to keep a copy on a Zip disk and boot it up in the computer labs at college. At the time, OSX had /just/ come out and OS 7.5 was still somewhat viable. A 50MB virtual hard disk on a zip disk was basically my roaming profile with all my personal settings.
I'd have to imagine that these days, there's no way a campus computer lab PC would allow you to run anything off a portable drive.
I will probably never do this, but happy to know I can. Also, just figured out why “return of the Mac” is your theme song.
I'm an existing Apple II fan and just got my first Classic Mac. I had no way to create images to get software on to my 68k mac. This tutorial completely helped me get up and running. I now have created new images that I use for both my Zip drive and the SCSI2SD volumes. THANK YOU!
Got going in Crystal Crazy to gift the nostalgia of youth back to my girlfriend after decades of longing on her part. Such a beautiful thing to be able to revisit that wacky garden of sound and absurdity! Thank you so much :)
I appreciate the time and effort you put in your videos, they’re excellent. I’ve been a Mac addict since my parents bought me a pb 145b back in the early 90s. I have a couple of PowerBooks, a PB100, the OG, and a pb 180. The pb 100 needs a new HD, it was working a few years ago, the 180 still runs, a little beat up but it’s still here w me. I also have an SE/30, a G4 , the silver one, a Mac Pro 5,1 that I use for most of my work when home. My m1 is attached to a 27 Thunderbolt Display via an adapter. I enjoy using those old systems. Again, good stuff. Muy bien bien.
Hi from New Zealand. What great information. I have spent many hours trying in vain to work out a way to transfer files from my MBPro to System 7 on Basilisk II. I wish I found this video first, it would have saved me many hours work
Although some of the software links have changed slightly, there still easy enough to locate. This is a wonderful resource. Thanks for posting.
Just found your channel - Excellent Content - Another subscriber for you!
Great stuff. I'm glad I found you!
Wow, you got me completely up and running, you guys are great! Thanks.
Nice vid. And it all started on the Amiga with ShapeShifter. The fastest Mac at the time :)
Mackiee is sooo adorable!!
This is adorable, thanks!
Great video Kate!!! I really love your new filming studio 👍
Great Video Kate I really enjoyed. learning about Basilisk ll Emulator I will have to try that
Glad you enjoyed it Dave!
0:50 "uhhh sheepsomething!"
*maccy.exe has stopped working*
I love these videos so much. Classic Macs are precious. Thanks for the tutorial!
Just found your channel and I'm loving it! Hugs from Brazil
Both the MacOS 7.6.1 ISO and the Bootstrap files are showing up as MD5's and are both missing, empty, and incapable of being extracted as ZIP files. Also the .rom drive is showing up as "Not Found!" in the Basilisk2 GUI. Please help!
Your Vintage Mac Studio is so cool, it gets me to my childhood along my Macintosh Performas and Multimedia CD Roms 🤍
A big thank u from Belgium 😀
Hi, Kate! Thanx for this! Super easy for a non-techie like me to follow too. But the first link to the RaSCSI Bootstrap Image seems to be broken/moved/denied, and the second leads to a blank macintoshgarden page. Could you please update? Thanx again!
My three year old just said to hit the like button 😊
About a year ago I bought a 2011 mac mini... I was hoping to use it as an emulator box for sheepshaver and Basilisk. By the time it arrived I'd found out how to get it working on my PC though. I was so excited going through macintosh garden and downloading all my old favourite games from when I was a kid. Back in the day Pathways into darkness and Marathon were my favourites on my Mac IIsi... I ended up getting an FPU card for it but had no idea at the time that it needed drivers to work...
Thanks for this information i lean towards windows a lot but I would love to dabble with Mac stuff since I started DJing but there are certain things from classic macs that no longer work in modern macs, Also some software and vintage games as well that were long lost. but understanding the older macs would help me appreciate it more, keep up the awesome work!
Got it running and playing the fantastic Might and Magic 3! 😎🤠
And QuickBASIC, how I learned to program as a kid!
yes!! thats a great game :)
Great video, Kate. Very informative and fun to watch :-) 🍏
I used to use System 7 and 8 on Amiga 4000 via ShapeShifter (SheepShaver / Basilisk predecessor), mostly to browse internet with Netscape Navigator. :)
Very cool! Amigas were (and still are) powerful retro machines! You were a smart cookie to get more life out of your amiga by running System 7!
@@MacintoshLibrarian it was a great solution for internet, and some other stuff, where the Amiga didn't have proper software :-) otherwise, the A4000 was far more powerful - 3d graphics, animation, music, ... I use Amigas to this day, maybe if you're interested check out my channel/blog "AMIGA alive" :-) thanks for the nice video!
I remember using Basilisk II in the 2000 , also i use Sheepshaver. Memories.
thank you for the tutorial
Use MAME instead of Basilisk II because it’s now more accurate but you can use Basilisk II to copy over files. I have a Quadra 605 so it doesn’t matter
For me, I have a Sheepshaver emulator, a step up from Basilisk II, running Mac OS 9.0.4 (with Finder 9.2.2).
The keyboard tapping sounds at the end of the video suggest Maccey has hands!?🤭
Cool Review, thanks for putting this together.
Power Pete, or Bruce Campbell? LOL. Excellent video!!!
3:43 Heh!
Maccy Daydreaming
I know you said that Basilisk ii is mainly used for II Macs, I read somewhere that the classic Mac could be emulated. Seems, I can't. Maybe I'm missing something.
Thank you so much for this video. I hope it helps many.
Thanks Dear for this knowledge i am so grateful to you mam and Macie =) Loce cheers
Such an incredible video. thank you!
I've run a couple of these Mac emulators inside an Amiga emulation running on a Windows PC
Nice ! I love nested emulation:)
This is gonna be my next big project, isn't it.
Great work on this video!
Can you do this on Linux Mint too? I would love to see a video on this topic since I don't see a single decent video on Mac emulation on Linux :( it's always just Mac or Windows users.
thank you so much! It worked
Basilisk, now that's a name I haven't heard of in a long time. Lol think the last time I spent it up what is to play Barney Carnage. Do you have a tutorial for the power PC version?? Never got that running but that was on bulldozer architecture, haven't tried it on my AM4 system yet.
There are also emulators for Raspberry Pi now to emulate up to G4 Macs at full speed.
Exceptional video.
Awesome video, thank you!
MAE (Macintosh Application Environment) on Solaris
can you please specify and show how to open netscape?
I considered using a Mac emulator for a while, but I have a hardware collection that covers just about the whole spectrum of Apple computers, so I can just use real computers.
>Emulate a classic mac
Wait you can do that? That sounds like something I need to spend a weekend tinkering with.
Can you show us how to emulate old macOS X Versions?
Hey, I want to use MacinTalk on OS 8 but it always say I need to put it in to the extensions Folder even tho it already is in the extensions folder.
Can somebody help me ?
This would be a great idea since after I'm done with my 1993 Apple IIe platinum project. though would it be possible to use Basilisk II to natively boot into Mac OS using say a Raspberry Pi?
OMG I want to emulate a Macintosh Plus with OS 6.0.5 on my M1 Macbook Pro and I'm not getting ANYWHERE with this. Basilisk closes right after boot. Why is so difficult! 😒😒😒
I've always wanted a power Mac G4 quad core tower but never can get my hands on one.
Basilisk is the one I like as I own a Mac IIci, a Mac Quadra 840av and 2 PowerBook 180's. PS All your Macintosh Garden links fail. Looks like the garden died. Links to Macintosh Repository would be welcome.
Ms Fox 🥰🥰
Worth mentioning PearPC, even though it's not developed anymore 🙂
Can basilisk emulator work on windows 10 pc?
I have a question. Is it possible to download a classic Mac OS emulator on a windows 10 computer?
I’m having issues when I try to unzip the RaSCSI v3 Bootstrap Zip and the Mac Rom Zip. What app is needed to allow me to open these??
Try 7zip or Keka on Mac
what is the end theme song ?
Hi. Thanks for the tutorial. I have a question. I cant increase the resolution of the emulator. The system loads. I see the background but no icons. It just works with 640x480. Is there any way to fix this?
Is maccy written in hypercard?
I've done basically everything, but my basilisk II won't start, is it because I'm trying to use an ISO file?
I have the MACOS8.image
OS753InstallerParts.dsk
MacOS753.dsk
All added to the volume of the Basilisk GUI
I have 256 MacOS ram size
Model is quadra 900
CPU type is 68040
I have a correct rom file path set up.
Do I need to use a .rom file, tell me if you know what I need to do?
I'm trying this out but some links in the description say its a forbidden link/file.
Were you not allowed to link to SavageTaylor?
Can you mention where you got the rainbow Apple logo? It really looks great on the back of your laptop.
It is a decal over the logo - then i have a clear shell over my lid. Its from www.ebay.com/itm/282335953853?hash=item41bc88c3bd:g:MF4AAOSw241Yhj~u or similar
@@MacintoshLibrarian 👍Thank you!
Is Maccy done through post-production, or is he actually alive?
I want to believe he's IRL
Maccy is real ! ❤️
well I'm sad cause the files links are broken and I can't get it run...
Oh no ! I can fix them tonight :)
@@MacintoshLibrarian I tried both windows 11 and macbook air 13 in 2020 running on sonoma 14.4.1
your macOS 7.6.1 link is not working also u missing link to the 755 2 GB drives but that's not a problem
Things must have gotten shuffled around. I will fix it shortly !
Not work leaves an blank white screen
which ROM files am i supposed to use for the windows version
or are they all the same
they are the same roms :)
@@MacintoshLibrarian thank you for telling me
why is there a little face on the macintosh? and little rainbow mac stuff? this is delightful! ^_^ g o o d _ v i b e s ~
Where do you find the .toast file i cannot find it find it
Same
It's the 7th download in the MacOS 7.6.1 ISO page. It's a zip archive, extract it and the proper toast file should appear.
Thanks
does it work with MacOS 10.0
