Click the button next to “Install the software.” Now click “Install Now” to continue. Then select “Mac HD” in “Destination Disk:” field.

Now click on “Browse” button next to the “ROM File” text field. You can change resolution too (for the rest of this guide I will use 640×480 because of smaller file size).

Then click on “Add…” again and select blank disk image. Click “Add…” and select your Mac OS 7 ISO file. Please note that closing this window runs the emulator so press “Quit” if you want to close it instead of clicking on “X” After you did that run “BasiliskIIGUI.exe.” You will see something like this: Now you have everything we need.įirst unpack all files to folder “BasiliskII” and install GTK+ runtime. You will have to create new disk image too. Please note that System 6 Hard Disk image that you may created earlier won’t work on Basilisk II. It natively supports higher resolution and color depthsĭownload emulator (and all utilities, ROMs etc.) here.There is another emulator for running Mac software on Windows called “Basilisk II.” It’s better because: So you have used Mini vMac for couple of hours and things get bored…
