Running
Web Browser
Try HyperCard in your web browser. You won't be able to save your work. James Friend's version runs faster for me.
Emulator
Files
- Basilisk II
- https://basilisk.cebix.net/
- Other emulation options include: SheepShaver, Mini vMac, Mini vMac II.
- MacOS 7.6 ISO:
- https://macintoshgarden.org/apps/macintosh-mac-os-76
- I used the international 'MacOS76_WW.ZIP' version.
- ROM file:
- https://macintoshgarden.org/apps/macintosh-rom-archive
- The downloads here are compilations of all sorts of ROMs, so just download the top option.
- I used the 'Mac IIci.ROM' file.
- HyperCard 2.4.1:
Setup
When you start Basilisk you will see a mostly blank window with some settings tabs on top:
- Volumes
- Add the install CD: Click 'Add…', and select the MacOS 7.6 ISO you downloaded.
- Add the hard disk: Click 'Create…', and find a place to put it, and give it a name. 200MB is plenty of space.
- If you're on Mac or Linux set the 'Unix Root' path some somewhere useful, EG
/home/[username]/.local/share/Basilisk II
. You will be able to access this from within the emulator, so you can transfer files easily. - The order the drives matters, so make sure the ISO is first.
- SCSI
- Defaults are fine
- Graphics/Sound
- Video Type: Up to you. If set to window set the refresh rate to something nicer that 10Hz
- 640x480 is typical to the era.
- Keyboard/Mouse
- Defaults are fine
- Serial/Network
- If you want to use the Internet set 'Ethernet Interface' to 'slirp'.
- Memory/Misc
- 64MB of RAM in plenty
- 'CPU Type' should be '68030 with FPU'
- Add ROM File
- JIT Compiler
- Defaults are fine
