Sep 21, 2005 Hi, I tried to read non-Mac CD-ROMs under Basilisk II because I read that with PC Exchange this is supposed to be possible. BTW, I run Mac OS 8.1 under Basilisk II.
(There's no video for All Macintosh Roms (68K + PPC) yet. Please contribute to MR and add a video now!)

- Mac games
Macintosh emulation is quite hard to achieve, you'll have to try and fail a lot, and do a lot of research.
Macos 8.1 Rom For Basilisk 2 Free
About 1000 Mac games are available on MyAbandonware, from 1980 to 2005. You will need one of these softwares to play them:
- SheepShaver: games from mid 90s to 2005 (MacOS 8.1 to 9.0.4), follow the download links to the precompiled binaries, made available on E-Maculation forums ;
- Basilisk II: games from 1991 to 1996 (MacOS 7 to 8.1), follow the download links to the precompiled binaries, made available on E-Maculation forums ;
- Mini vMac: games from the 80s, although some games were still made for the emulated Mac in th early 90s.
Many old games will work fine in a SheepShaver or Basilisk II, you should only install and configure one emulator first and to run the game in it.
Complete guides for Mac emulation
Making Mac games work is quite complicated compared to DOS games. You'll have to find a Mac computer ROM to emulate a Mac computer. These ROM files are quite annoying to get, you can extract one from a working Mac, or get one for vMac here (archived), or several one with this guide at Redundant Robot. You should then follow these guides:
- SheepShaver: setup guide on Windows, Mac or Linux ;
- Basilisk II: setup guide on Windows, Mac or Linux ;
- Mini vMac: setup guide on Windows.
