68k Emulator

Question

68k Emulator

I know that OS 9 has an imbedded emulator for 68k programs. Somewhere online I read that there is a better one to download that provides a better stable enviroment for 68k apps. Does anyone know where this is? I should have downloaded it when I had a chance. My Activision apps have a hard time running. Thanks for any hope.

Don't know about Activision, but there's two Mac m68k emulators.

Use Google to find Basilisk II and mini vMac.

Thanks for the info, do these run inside OS9 or do I have to boot from them? BTW the activision apps are for the 68k just like playing Atari again! Thanks.

Unfortunately licensing of said emulators is still up in the air. Your best bet is to find something you can run licensed that has something similar. See my FAQ*:

I have been trying to use basilisk but am having configuration problems. I have the ROM I imaged from a Performa and another from my dad's LCIII. I have tried placing both into the basilisk program folder and running but it keeps giving me errors that it can't read the ROM file. Is there a way around this that does not involve command line programming? I do not know how to use commands nor do I have the time to learn. Got enough of that with DOS. I have tried it on my mac mini with 10.6 and my G4 with 10.4 with the same problems with both.

Wiley,

There is some Basilisk information and support forums that might be of use to you:

http://www.emaculation.com/doku.php/basilisk_ii

The link includes some versions of the emulator that are newer than those available on the primary Basilisk II homepage.
