If you donвЂ™t intend to use this, I suggest disabling it.

Map the emulated MACвЂ™s drive to a floppy drive or image file.

The Disk Properties Window (Figure 8) letвЂ™s you:.

Check the Windows file access check box.

The BIOS file: IвЂ™ve selected the Macintosh Plus file v3 from the internet archive.

The amount of memory: select 4M (more memory is available under the other 2 profiles).

Change the resolution: only 512Г—342 is available in the classic profile (higher resolutions are available under the other 2 profiles).

The Properties Window (Figure 7) letвЂ™s you:.Select the profile you want to edit or copy, IвЂ™m going to select the Classic profile with a Macintosh Plus BIOS for this example.The SoftMac profile selector (Figure 6) should now be displayed.Press the Scan button, the list of available ROM BIOS image files should appear in that list.Press the path button if you need to change the path that you want SoftMac to look in for Bios files.The ROM BIOS Setup window (Figure 5) will appear:.SoftMac will prompt you to select the location of the ROM BIOS file(s).SoftMac will then prompt you asking if you want to use a ROM file or a ROM card (Figure 4), select OK.SoftMac will prompt you that it is running the Auto-configure program (Figure 3), select OK.The first time you run SoftMac it will launch an auto-configuration wizard that will step you through the setup process: you have both a USB Zip Drive and SCSI Zip Drive, or USB to SCSI adapter.

You can boot from any of my drive or partition images, and you can also create your own from a real hard drives, removable drives (zip, jazz) using tools like DD on Linux, or on Windows 10 with a SCSI card installed, or a USB bridge device, e.g. SoftMac can be used with files containing a binary image of a hard drive partition/volume (.HFX), it can also be used with drive images up to 2.7GB (.DSK). Selecting an drive or partition image file 06684214 вЂ“ Quadra 630.ROMВ became Quadra630.ROM, and I suggest putting the ROM file in to the same installation folder as the SoftMac application unless you plan on running multiple emulators. If you are downloading the bios files from the internet archive, I found I had to edit the file names for them to work with SoftMac, e.g.

Macintosh Quadra 610 bios with theВ Macintosh Quadra profile.

Macintosh IIfx bios with the Macintosh II series profile.

Macintosh Plus v3 bios with the Classic series profile.

IвЂ™ve personally tested SoftMac with the following ROM files from the internet archive: SoftMac can emulate a fairly large number of Macintosh Systems and comes pre-configured for the Macintosh Classic series, Macintosh II series and Macintosh Quadra series. SoftMac 8.2 is now installed, but not quite ready to run.

Unzip the selected version in to the installation folder you created (Figure 2).

#Mame emulator mac sierra install#

Create a destination folder on your system that you will install SoftMac in.

The latest versions for Windows and Dos (not native MacOS and Linux support) can be found on вЂ™s website.

Download one of my System 7.5.5 drive images or partition images.

the Macintosh Plus v3 bios, Macintosh IIfx bios or Macintosh Quadra 610 bios from the internet archive

Create or download a Macintosh Rom file, e.g.

Download and install SoftMac 8.2 or the 9.0 beta ( description).

IвЂ™ve most recently tested SoftMac on Windows 10 build 19041.685, 0 using Plus, IIfx and Quadra 610 emulation

The main weakness of SoftMac is that itвЂ™s only available for Windows Systems (perhaps Mac/Linux with WINE?)Д«ecause SoftMac is already well documented on sites like Emaculation, IвЂ™m only going to describe the basics of how to setup Basilisk II and focus on how you can use it to add or remove files from the System 6.0.8 or System 7.5.5 bootable images available to download on my site. Basilisk II works best with volume images (file contains a single volume/partition), but can work with drive images that contain a single volume, but will corrupt drive images that have more than one volume.

SoftMac supports true hard drive emulation, meaning that you can use SoftMac to initialize drive images (2.7GB or less) thatВ contain the Macintosh Boot Driver and Partition Map and other information in their first 48k that would be found on a real bootable drive or disk (see Figure 1).

Basilisk II only supports System 7.0 to 8.1 SoftMac supports System 1.1g to 8.1 (with the correct bios for emulating the correct system).Figure 1: Example contents of a drive image viewed in SoftMac using a patched version ofHD SC setup 7.3.5
