Basilisk II is an Open Source 68k Macintosh emulator. That is, it enables you to run 68k MacOS software on you computer, even if you are using a different operating system. What is Basilisk II for Mac Basilisk II is an open-source emulator of 68xxx-based Macintosh computers for Windows, OS X and Linux. With Basilisk II, one can boot Mac OS versions 7.x through 8.1. Ports of Basilisk II are available for Mac OS X, Windows, Linux and a number of lesser-known systems. Basilisk Knights are a Slayer creature that can be found in the Jormungand's Prison beneath the Island of Stone, requiring level 60 Slayer and completion of The Fremennik Exiles to kill.

A follow-up to my previous post:

  • Basilisk is a free and Open Source XUL-based web browser, featuring the well-known Firefox-style interface and operation. It is based on the Goanna layout and rendering engine (a fork of Gecko) and builds on the Unified XUL Platform (UXP), which in turn is.

I don't normally run Basilisk II on OS X. So I installed Basilisk II onto a Mac Mini running OS X Leopard... A 2009 build for 10.4 & 10.5 from Emaculation.

I found that the Option key worked OK if editing a text document, but it fails to work at all, if for example, I want to close several open windows at once (Option-click any window's close box). It does nothing at all.

I don't know why it won't work. Key Caps shows it as pressing the Option Key, so I'm at a loss here.

But it did remind me of why I run Basilisk II (build 142) on Windows - That build is most like a real 68k Mac - everything just works

[Edit]: Perhaps the following has some bearing:

Source: columbia.edu:
'versions uploaded late in 2009 used a version of Basilisk II that did not recognize the Option key in all contexts, and that version has now been replaced with an older version that recognizes the Option key correctly.'

So perhaps I need to try an earlier version of BII that will run on Leopard...

[Edit 2]: Good grief. It was the version of BII on OS X that I was using!

I DL'd the .dmg from the Columbia Edu linked page, above. With this one, the Option Key works correctly.

BTW, the Columbia Edu DL contains Basilisk II plus Performa 630 ROM and a 400 MB disk image file with a pre-installed Mac OS 7.5.5, ready to go. The disk image contains mostly pre-installed versions of Word Perfect (various) and a few utilities. Quite an interesting DL, actually.
