Basilisk ii download windows how to#
Unfortunately, I don't have the code, don't know how to contact the author and don't think it's likely to be fixed anytime soon. On my machine at least, it consumes 100% of the CPU cycles when idle. The only other place it's available for download has a corrupted disk image. Since it's dropped off the web in the last year or so, I thought I'd put it up here. VNCThing is the fastest VNC client available for OS X. The key press handling also seems unreliable keys can stick in Lunatic Fringe and leave you turning in circles. Again, the sound is non-functional, at least in the latest version I have installed.

Unfortunately it doesn't seem to do JIT compiling under Mac OS X the CPU usage is 100% for the application and I don't see whay that should be the case considering no CPU emulation should really be required. The Basilisk II emulation is slow-ish but functional. Mount the boot disk image, then mount the others via the Basilisk II option to see your local directories as another disk. You'll also need the System 7.5.5 Updater from Apple, as well as a System 7.0.3 boot disk image from my site. Apple has thoughtfully released this older version of Mac OS as freeware. Let me know if you have luck with this emulator.Īfter installing Basilisk II, get Mac OS System 7.5.3 from Apple. The other option is SheepShaver which runs under X Windows, although I couldn't get it to build under OS X where its support is shaky. Under Mac OS X, the sound is unfortunately not implemented. I should mention that I have a PowerBook running OS X Basilisk II also runs under linux, where the emualtion may be more complete. Your other option is to run an older version of Mac OS in emulation. However, at least under my Classic environment, the module ran choppily.

Then install DarkSide, and point it to the After Dark modules.ĭarkSide's engine seemed to load Lunatic Fringe without errors, although Satori (another good After Dark module, coincidently also by Ben Haller) failed to run properly. You'll probably have to disable the After Dark extensions as well as its associated modules they didn't play well with Classic for me. Install After Dark to get access to the modules. There is an acceptable After Dark engine replacement that runs under the Classic environment, called DarkSide of the Macintosh. Only try one of the other methods mentioned below if you're a massochist. Although it still runs under the Classic environment, it's fast and emulates sound too. It's called Fringe Player, and works like a charm. Thanks to Greg Parker of Sealie Software, there is now a definitive solution to After Dark replacement. If you can find a copy of the Lunatic Fringe module, then you're in business. And don't throw it away it's almost worth having just to play this game.
This leaves the problem of actually installing and running the damn thing if you've got an old Mac running OS 8 then you're set. Enterprising web searchers, you know the drill. The version you want is After Dark Deluxe. Although Sierra has ended support for After Dark, you can still pick up a copy from ebay. Sierra owns the rights to the program, and to the source code.

Unfortunately, Ben doesn't have the source code (or if he does, he's not telling, and I don't blame him). Lunatic Fringe was developed by Ben Haller of Stick Software. This leaves us poor devotees with two potential solutions: replacement or emulation. For the enterprising web searcher this wouldn't be a problem, but the After Dark engine doesn't run either under OS X or under the Classic environment. Tragically, Sierra (who bought After Dark from Berkeley Systems) terminated After Dark many years ago. Peversely, this was released as an After Dark screensaver module. In some ways I would agree - addictive, simple, fast, satisfying.
