Next is to create a fake blank hard drive (which is really a file that looks like a drive). This driver allows your windows optical disc to read mac disc, pretty well essential for installing software. Next we copy the file cdenably.sys from the Basilisk II cd-rom drivers folder to c:\windows\system32\drivers.
We also get a system 7 book disk and put it in the Basilisk II folder and then download the system 7.5.3 files from apple's ftp site. We search the old mac backups and find a quadra 650 rom file and extract it and place it in the Basilisk II folder. Ok, installed so next we download BasiliskII and extract to a folder. We decide to mess with the windows system files, recognizing the problems inherent in window's reliance on DLL's but no liking having to modify the system. If you choose to rename these files, their extension will be changed to. To prevent such conflicts, it can automatically rename the file.

The install finds that C:\Windows\system32\iconv.dll may conflict with programs that rely on GTK+ 2. GTK (otherwise known as the GIMP toolkit) provides widgets (on screen controls) and tools to build graphical windowed applications. We used to run Basilisk on windows xp many years ago so we decide to go that route as the minimum requirements for Civilization II are an 040 mac and a few megabytes of ram.įirst is to download and install the GTK runtime environment for Windows that enables us to run software written for the X windows environment. Since the work desktop is now Windows 7 we decide to try that out. This means emulating a classic mac on some OS.

When you start Basilisk, you'll boot into a fresh installation of Mac OS 7.5.Not feeling up to working so what's a guy to do? Obviously since i got rid of the last G4 OS9 machine 2 weeks ago it's time for a CIV II fix. Start the GUI again, set the Mac Model ID to support Mac OS 7, remove the floppy disk image entries and the 100Mb volume from the volumes list. Once the installation has finished, you can stop Basilisk. Start the installation and choose the 500Mb disk as target.

When you open that disk image icon, you'll see the installer for Mac OS 7.5.3. The installer will check the 19 parts and place a disk image icon on the desktop. On the 100Mb disk, start the resulting Mac OS installer.img file. Open the floppy disk drive on the desktop with the stuff-it expander program and use the program to unpack all 19 installer parts on the 100Mb disk. Open the Unix disk drive on the desktop and copy the 19 files to the 100Mb disk on the desktop. Start Basilisk, click OK at the first warning about booting from a floppy and initialize the two newly created volumes. Set the Mac Model ID to support Mac OS 8. Set the “Unix root” to the folder with the 19 disk images you downloaded. The Disktools_MacOS8.image floppy image should be the first entry in the list (you can drag and drop entries in the list. Add the two disk images to the volumes list by using the Add button.

See the guide above for how to create volumes. 500Mb), and one large enough to hold the 19 disk images (100Mb should be ample). Create two volumes through the Basilisk GUI, one large enough to hold your Mac 7.5.3 installation and future programs (e.g. Download the 19 disk images containing Mac OS 7.5.3 into a folder. Download the floppy disk image containing Stuff-it expander. Download the required bootable floppy disk image Note: Don't use any other system 7.0/1 or 7.5 bootable disk image, or you will run into problems later.
Since we don't have an emulated mac running yet, we need to use some workarounds to be able to read and expand the files. This is a special case because the Apple disk images come in a Mac format.
