What is Basilisk II?

Basilisk II is an Open Source 68k Macintosh emulator. That is, it allows you to run 68k MacOS software on your computer, even if you are using a different operating system. However, you still need a copy of MacOS and a Macintosh ROM image to use Basilisk II. Basilisk II is distributed under the terms of the GNU General Public License (GPL).

UPDATE: For a list of interesting old Mac applications which you can play with using Mini vMac, Basilisk and SheepShaver, refer to my latest article. This guide shows you how to run MAC OS 8 on the Basilisk emulator. This is the last version of Mac OS X that can be run on this emulator. The emulator emulates a 68k Macintosh, while later versions Mac OS requires a PowerPC. It is recommended.

For more information, see the README file. If you are interested in learning how Basilisk II works internally, there is a Technical Manual available (knowledge about programming and computer architecture is required).
