If no 'rom' line is given, the ROM file has to be named 'ROM' and put in the same directory as the Basilisk II executable. This item specifies the file name of the Mac ROM file to be used byīasilisk II. Just dropping it in the same directory is notįrom the BASILISK II readme, the rom preference is defined The issue is that you need to specify to the emulator where the ROMįile is located. I've managed to reproduce your error, using a Quadra 650 ROM file Tackling Basilisk II and SheepShaver in turn. I got the disk image from youtube - Tour of Mac OS 7.5.5 with color + Took a screenshot for you guys to know tell me what's going on? I opened both BasiliskII and SheepShaver and I

It said quadra650.rom will work but I tried and nothing special, I This is very huge problem and I don't know how I can fix it. Stuff, I got an error about the ROM: 'Cannot open ROM file.' The same Use BasiliskII but when I assemble the ROM, SDL.dll and the other I was thinking I could run Mac OS 7.5.5 on vMac with color but no it Original QuestionīasiliskII and SheepShaver can't open quadra650.rom I have reproduced the question and answer below - hopefully it could be useful, in case any stumbling blocks are encountered. I have just spent the last hour trying to find/recover it, after the OP, who asked the question, has subsequently deleted the question. I actually answered a Quadra 650 emulation related question, a while back, although it was for Windows, on SuperUser.

Uses UAE 68k emulation or (under AmigaOS and NetBSD/m68k) real 68k processor.

Emulates extended ADB keyboard and 3-button mouse.

CD-ROM driver with basic audio functions.

Driver for HFS partitions and hardfiles.

Floppy disk driver (only 1.44MB disks supported).

Emulates either a Mac Classic (which runs MacOS 0.x thru 7.5) or a Mac II series machine (which runs MacOS 7.x, 8.0 and 8.1), depending.

Internet and LAN networking via Ethernet.

Easy file exchange with the host OS via a 'Host Directory Tree' icon on the Mac desktop.

Access to floppy disks, CD-ROMs and HFS(+) partitions on hard disks.

To quote the specifications of each emulator respectively:

SheepShaver and BasiliskII both work on Linux and should support your requirements. SheepShaver requires a 4MB PCI PowerMac ROM.Īs shown in one of the dialogs in the screenshots below. If you attempt to use a 68K based ROM, with SheepShaver, then you should get the error: Invalid ROM file size. However, you still need a copy of MacOS and a PowerMac ROM image to use SheepShaver. As Stephen rightly points out in his comment, SheepShaver only emulates PowerPC, and so it is not a valid suggestion for your 68K-based question.
