Basilisk II for PSP - Mac Emu for PSP

[wraggster]

Sanguinus (http://prox9.dnsalias.com/index2.htm) has posted an update of files for the Mac Emu for PSP, heres the details:


Me and a friend recently spent loads of time getting basilisk II to work properly on the PSP and we have. We have put together a freeware tool we found on the internet for editing DSK files, Also we have made a DSK file with a game of checkers on it and a game of chess also a JPEG viewer.

Basilisk for PSP was written by ChaosKnight.

We have installed the mac os7 on a Virtual DSK Image (this is legal for those who doubt. You can download the files from apples old software section yourself but in 19 individual floppy disk images!! )

Wikipedia:
Mac OS 7.5.3 and the 7.5.5 (US English) update can be downloaded for free: http://download.info.apple.com/Apple_Support_Area/Apple_Software_Updates/English-North_American/Macintosh/System/


Also included is a copy of mac.rom that I found on a freeware site in a zip file.

So basically just extract the basaliskII files into the game section of your PSP Memor Stick and Run.

Notes:
It is surprisingly Quick.
Some window moving things cause it to hang such as scrolling the horizontal scrollbar.
Shutdown causes it to hang so just use Home button to quit.
Installing Quicktime is virtually impossible I spent several hours trying without success as after it was installed it caused it to hang after booting.

i have 3.10 oe and doesnt work blue screen with a error :(

[JoeyStitch]

1. Put both folders in the GAME folder
2. Enter recovery mode
3. Change the GAME folder kernel to 1.50 and exit.
4. Run BasiliskII

It still bluescreens sometimes. I wish someone would pick up development on it. Having a full-fledged Mac emulator with networking would be awesome.

How does one boot games in Mac Os? I unpacked Indiana jones and it doesnt show any exectuable files , theres Indy.rsrc in the dir but it doesnt do anything.

Edit: never mind I solved it.

[ICE]

so how does it look/ run? everyone look good?

[Cloudhunter]

Does it have keyboard support? I can't remember if it did or not.

[SpooForBrains]

No keyboard support, but it looks great and runs pretty damned quick!

ETA: there must be some sort of irony in the fact that the program to deal with .DSK images on runs on Windows ... why not on the Mac?

[FrostyTheSnowman]

So wait, is MacOS 7.5.3 preinstalled on the DSK image, or do we have to install it ourselves?

[Squidman]

wow, this is actually pretty cool, it's faster for what i've seen before, very excellent i've only been BSOD'd once and i've had extreme hangs twice, i see great things in it's future, now lets get windows 95 running better, i just need a BIOS....grrr....

It dose have kebord suport use select and thae use the dpad and X,[],/\,O (psprint)

I give up on trying to make a bigger HD image , i tried makedsk and the emu rejects my hd file and then i tried Disk_Image_CM_Plugin_1.3.img.bin / Disk_Copy_6.3.3.smi.bin within the emu but the scailing must be wrong in the emu cause you can't scroll down to click accept.

anyone know where one can obtain a premade HD file thats around 800meg? cause you can't fit anything on the 30meg that comes with the emu.

[IM back!]

you can us hdf explora to make a 800mb vitural hdd. hdf explorer comes with the DL

[Cho Aniki]

Thanks alot , that worked fine.

is there a way to unpack Mac files in windows without them getting corrupt ,cause unpacking stuff on the psp takes time.

[nickstr]

this actually works on 2.8 PSPs! works in both eloader and Xloader (if patched) does not work in HEN though.

[tael]

hmm teh link doesn't work at QJ or the attached link. Someone please get this fixed up cause I want this thing soooo bad. thanx

I just discovered why the medialink isn't working; the link ends with a square braket, which is not actually in the link. Wragster, you should edit this to save confusion. Yay!

[razorak]

could someone shed light on how i can install games into the disk image or what i have to do to run games on the emulator??

[tvrstl]

it's Beautiful!!

just to bad I am too noob to make bochs work at 3.03 OE-C...

[Tesseract]

Heh... I just blue-screened, too. Amusing part is this:

"s7: DEADBEEF"

H'ray for sassy programmers.

Could it be annoyed at the fact that I've MacOS8 installed on this image?

[tvrstl]

only thing I miss, is the sound:S

Yes. I don't think Basilisk II works with OS8. Only system 7 is supported.

Anyone tried this on 3.40 OE? I tried it in both /PSP/GAME and /PSP/GAME150 folders, and with Kernels 1.50 and 3.40, and no go. It simply doesn't start if its in the /GAME folder, and it bluescreens immediately if its in the /GAME150 folder. Any ideas what I could be doing wrong?

[rbervoets]

sweet!

[MSPainter]

This is awesome. I only have one question. Instead up upgrading to 7.5.5, would it still work if I upgraded to os92.1?

[parkermauney]

lol, no.

[nitsan57]

someone has the dsk editor link please?
i serched all the web and no results...

[osgeld]

someone already asked but noone responded and now i have the same issue

fw 3.40 OE
under games 150 instant BSOD
using 1.50 kernel instant BSOD

installed anywhere else, game could not be read error, reinstalled many times all files are good but yet no luck

anyone have a suggestion?

[Saracchini]

The disk editor cames (HFVExplorer.exe) with the emulator, it´s hard to use but works.

It´s a good emulator, but it crashes easily... i will wait o little more... because it really transforms PSP in a palm !

I tried use old games but all then came compressed and it takes forever to unpack...

Ah... i´m using 3.40 OE
