[mkdir]

THAT’S GOT IT!!

http://www.redundantrobot.com/macemulator/1mbMacrom.zip works as expected!

Renamed PERFORMA.ROM to mac.rom, chose Start from EmulationStation and boom!

Thank you!

[mkdir]

Yup! I hit Start and it changes to a blank screen for a second, thinks about it, flickers for a while, then switches back to the console where “Error: Cannot open ROM” appears for a moment before going back to the EmulationStation browser.

Hey, sorry for delay in replying. Long weekend.

I assume you meant ‘grep “BasiliskII” /etc/emulationstation/es_systems.cfg and not grep “BasiliskII” /etc/emulationstation/es_system.cfg’ (systems.cfg not system.cfg)?

The output text is:

<command>/opt/retropie/supplementary/runcommand/runcommand.sh 1 “/opt/retropie/emulators/basilisk/bin/BasiliskII –rom /home/pi/RetroPie/roms/macintosh/mac.rom –disk /home/pi/RetroPie/roms/macintosh/disk.img” “basilisk”</command>

I have the latest version of RetroPie, yes. Thanks for taking a look at this. It’s been frustrating me for days.

[mkdir]

Thank you for the reply. Yes, I built BasiliskII from source using the retropie-setup and placed the nessasery .img and .rom files in the correct folder, but I’m getting ‘ERROR: Cannot open ROM file’. I’ve tried some other ROMs I was able to find elsewhere and still no dice. Do they have to be given specific upper or lowercase filenames?

After typing make this is what happens when I type make install:

And this is what happens when I try to start X11 by typing BasiliskII

Hey there. Thanks for doing this, great idea. But I’ve hit a few problems. I explain it in the thread I started here: https://www.petrockblock.com/forums/topic/basiliskii-and-macintosh-emulator-questions/

Basically your instructions work great right up until the ./configure command, when I get an error. I proceeded to enter ./configure without any of the disable / enable options and things seem to go OK. I got as far as entering make, then make install, but at this point in part 2 of your tutorial you say “Start X11 on your Pi. Run BasiliskII and configure its options using the GUI.” and I’m not getting that far. Neither of the commands to start X11 you suggest at the end of part 1 starts the X11 window manager.

I tried starting over again after I noticed that in an article on GitHub here: https://github.com/retropie/RetroPie-Setup/wiki/BasiliskII it is suggested to enter sudo ./retropie_packages basilisk configure before following your instructions but when I enter that I get the error message sudo: ./retropie_packages: command not found

I’ve also see that at the very start of your tutorial you suggest entering the directory ~/RetroPie/emulators/ but when I enter this I get the error message -bash: cd: /home/pi/RetroPie/emulators/: No such file or directory

Could you take a look into this please? It would be great to get some of my old Mac software running again. Thanks.
