Ricky Zhang edited this page Jul 23, 2020 · 4 revisions

What

BII has been enhanced its support for System 6.

  • Load System from a large emulated hard disk.
  • Set the guest OS screen resolution at any arbitrary combination rather than 512x342.

How

  • Build BII with memory banks addressing. See the compilation guide. Enabling with SDL2 is highly recommended due to its GPU hardware acceleration, scale the guest OS screen at any factor and better key code mapping.
  • Use Mac SE ROM with MD5 hash 9fb38bdcc0d53d9d380897ee53dc1322.
  • RAM size is limited to 4MiB. Below is my sample configuration .basilisk_ii_prefs.
