Basilisk II PSP - Macintosh Emulator |
Ó
ChaosKnight has released a very nice port of Basilisk II for the PSP, called Basilisk II PSP. Basilisk II is an open-source 68k Macintosh emulator which will run systems 7.5.5 through 7.6.1 to be the easiest to run. Like the port of Bochs x86 emulator, Basilisk has the same principle. Simply put the emulator eboots in the correct PSP folder (the one without the % sign.) The files included are Macintosh 7.5.5, which can be downloaded from apple.com as well. You will need to supply your own LEGAL copy of mac.rom for this to work. Here is what ChaosKnight had to say about this release: ?
What Works
- Emulation
- Video (wrong colors, slow)
- Input (start = return, mouse = analog + X = click)
What Doesn't
- Ethernet
- Audio
- Keyboard
- External Filesystem (ability to use flash0:, mc0:, etc...)
- Serial (no irda0: support yet)
You can get it in our PSP Download section [here].
You can get the source in our PSP Download section [here].
Currently, this emulator will only run on PSPs with firmware version 1.0 or 1.50. If you do not know which firmware version your PSP has, or if you need help installing this application/game on your PSP, check one of our many informative FAQs. If you have a higher firmware version than 1.50 on your PSP, you cannot run this program. To downgrade the firmware from a version higher than 1.50, please visit [here].

Can you play Mac games on this?
This is pretty incredible - I love the idea. Can't wait to see where it goes, an see if we can't get some cool productivity applications for the PSP on top of all the great gaming options.
I don't think Palm and PPC OS are really that great for the PSP because of the lack of touchscreen - even if there were a mouse, it wouldn't be the same. Better to go with an OS that is designed for mouse input.
I'm still wondering why we haven't seen linux on PSP yet (or did I miss the announcement?). Not that I'm some huge linux geek, but it would be nice to have an OS that didn't require some gray-area mucking around and that already had lots of free applications for it.
WOH. the first time i downloaded this, i just cpoyed everything to my ms and it worked fine. i deleted it to make room, and just now downloaded it agin. now it says it cant load the mac.rom file. help please
they removed mac.rom from the archive, so it doesnt run out of the box ghhhey
WOW!!!
This takes me back to my Quadra 650 days!!!
Hopefully, this will develop into something VERY special. It has the potential
tru tru...
this is an OS...
i wondering now if windows mobile could be emulated or the Palm OS...
here's a quarda 650 rom: http://www.oldos.org/files/macdl/quadra650.rom
But you are only allowed to download it if you actually own a quadra 650.. so don't click the link unless you do!
this is really neat, except it is always crashing for me using the rom that elroy linked to.
is it only a specific rom that works?
you have to rename it to mac.rom
works great thanks!
wow that whole red screen thing scared me a little, (paranoid) but it works great. REALLY FAST!!! now if only we can get some better stuff running like DSL or a faster version of 95. that would be great. Nice work tho.
No applications ?
erm... any particular reason why my last two (and, I believe, useful) comments were deleted?
just asking
very very cool :D
but is it posible to speed up the mouse?? it's so slow..
ok well bigpoppa go f urself. b/c the guy who ported did a lot of work. Also I cant wait until Mac OS 7.6.0 becomes free. Then we can play Warrcraft 2 on psp... Hells yes
I'd love to be able to play Escape Velocity on this someday. Just waiting for keyboard support...........
This is definitely the real deal. I have Basilisk II running on my PC and I copied over some programs to the SYSTEM.DSK file that came with the download package. They work as expected. I also copied over the Mouse control panel, which allowed me to speed up the mouse cursor a tad, but strangely only when moving it diagonally. It was still slow moving in straight lines. Also, the setting doesn't seem to be retained after a reboot, even though the setting on the control panel seems to still be there. You have to go back and select it again for it to take. Still, a VERY impressive first start.
Forget about downloading 7.5.3, the download comes with a nice 7.5.5 system.dsk file in the BasiliskIIPSP Folder. Any OS up to (but not including) 7.6 can be distributed free of charge.
Just find yourself a nice quadra rom, rename it to mac.rom, put it in there with the rest of the basilisk files and start her up. should work.
hey I downloaded this and stuck it on my psp then went to game>memorystick and just found 2 corrupt icons.
what do I need to get this running?
also do I need to own macintosh 7 to do this legally?
if I do, then are their any free os's that I can use in this?
this kicks ass
hey guys, please help me, i searched all over apple.com and i cant find Macintosh 7.5.5, can anyone link me?
http://www.oldos.org/files/macdl/quadra650.rom
this seems to help, just rename it to mac.rom and put it in your basillikpsp folder without the %
How do you go about opening the .DSK file?
waahooo nice Program, but the mouse pointer is very slow. So that i sleep.
and another "http://mailgate.supereva.com/comp/comp.emulators.mac.executor/msg00371.html"
theres a link to another rom on this page, again rename to mac.rom
Pretty much all of Apple's obsolete software is available here: http://www.info.apple.com/support/oldersoftwarelist.html
Get the full 7.5.3 download and then the 7.5.5 or 7.6 update to it.... at least I think. It's been over a decade.
When i try to run it it crashes on strart up, i think ive done everything right like i renamed the file i downloaded from those link mac.rom and i have everything it says i need please help
hello whenever i run the mac software from the gta emulator mac always says supicious hard oath detected press the a button, i press it and it says ERROR: not enough free memory. how do i solve this? instant message me (battlezone77) email me (skyzero77@hotm ail.com)
thanks
Props to Christian Bauer who is behind the whole Basilisk II projct, not just the guy who ported it to P2P.
Is there any thing else i have to get for this to work? Because its not working for me, and when i load it i get a error saying somthing didnt work.
I know where to put the files, it just doesnt work!!
UTTERLY Amazing...keep up the good work man.....continue with this project ...excellente.
Holy Moses! This thing is fast. (Almost too fast....sure this isn't some elborate hoax?)
Totally usable. (The mouse is a little drunk though...) Now all we need is the ability to have a disk and start playing with apps.
Most useful port I've seen if its the real thing.
Paris Hilton is HOT Paris Hilton is HOT Paris Hilton is HOT Paris Hilton is HOT Paris Hilton is HOT Paris Hilton is HOT
This is amazing, all you have left is the colors problem.
Exactly now you can do every thing with your psp!
Hmmmmmm....
Is there a web browser for this?
WOW. Damn. That's all I can say. I threw this on my PSP expecting to be disappointed (after my 4285285 unsuccesful attempts to get Win95 working) and lo and behold, it works beautifully. It's a real flashback; I used to have a 68k Mac. I look forward to progress, hehe. I loved that computer. Hypercard was like the predecessor of Flash for me, I made so many games and animations in it. It would be awesome if you could run stuff like that off this emu someday. Or maybe Simpletext so I can have droning robotic voice in my pocket.
allrigth, i remember that game, NUMBERMUNCHER, or some little green dude eating number, that game was awsome, cant wait to play it :)
wish it worked... it says something about not being able to load the mac.rom file. anyone else having this problem?
Probably Becuase you renamed the app so that it wont so the curropt file.
Dont rename it!
wow this is very cool!!
no......... i have 1.0....
anyway it works now. i changed the folder name...
wow crap its good. Only problem is that its PINK!!!!!!!!
to get it to work the folder must be named BatiliaIIPSP and BatiliaIIPSP%, sorry you have to have a corrpupted icon.....but how can i add my own progs on here, like Mac apps on this. Simplified, How can i put apps on the Mac.Rom
I want Windows 3.1 now... I have a Windows 3.1 computer that i wanted to get running on bochs but i dunno how to make the image file...
this is a cool concept. it runs surprisingly fast too. let's hope we can do more with it soon. i wanna play a game of 4d boxing!
Hmmm, cant seem to download this, I get an error... :(
Windows 3.1... now THAT would be awesome =P
so i see PPC and Palm should be next on the list for emulatios!
WOW... this is AWSOME! if we can utilize file accessing and mac apps, then this could be FREAKING UBER AWSOME!!! lol keep up the good work, homebrew is getting better every waking hour!
All we need now is someone to emulate the Altair 6800... how far back can we take the PSP ?
