Bummer! So one has to de-install the version installed by RetroPie (or Raspbian for that matter) and compile an other one instead. The greatest platform game ever made by man (Prince of Persia 2 - The Shadow and the Flame) must be run in 8 bit mode. However, like said above, BII cannot be run in 8 bit color (= 256 color) mode. So you can start it from the Emulationstation menu. SDL video is nice because it does not need an X server (i.e. That leaves you w/ a BII version that uses SDL for video and audio.
#Will basilisk ii run diablo code
I compiled it from source code the first time. I didn't even know that BasiliskII (a classic Apple Mackintosh emulator) was included in RetroPie (or Raspbian for that matter). Thank you for opening a separate topic about this. If anyone has manged to get Basilisk to run or boot in 256 colors without crashing, I would be most interested to learn the technique. All in all, I've tried more combinations than I can really work into this post. I have tried the default config, as well as trying it with 32 & 64 MB of emulated memory. I have tried MacOS 8.1 & 7.5.5, as well as a Performa and Quadra 900 system rom (changing the corresponding config settings with each), all with the same results. What happens is, every time the emulated MacOS tries to make the switch to 256 colors, Basilisk freezes and RetroPie must be restarted. I have a posting aimed in his direction, but I thought someone here might have some insight as well.
This is particularly frustrating because almost any game for the Mac of that era requires it be run in 8-bit color. Meneer Jansen over in "Gaming and General Discussion" was talking about an older Mac game he got working on RetroPie's Basilisk Emulator and it reminded me that I've yet to get a game working that requires 256 colors (8-bit color).
