    Are you kidding me??? Here the problem is not set 256 colors mode but that if you do this in the wrong way the emulator shows a black screen.

    The italian guide ALWAYS works... In the italian forum there are 3 BLANK disks for installing MacOS.

    You said:
    "And when the "make your own disk" method goes wrong you advise people to use a backup of the image that was made."

    WHEN IT GOES WRONG AND... WHEN I SAID THIS???

    Stop trolling, thanks. I'll post a translation of the italian guide so maybe you can open your mind.

      There's room enough for two guides. Please try to be civil on both sides before this ends up escalating. Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm gonna go write my own guide, with Blackjack and hookers. In fact, forget the guide.

            @mediamogul I started with the Commodore 64 back in the mid-80s, progressed to an IBM-compatible PC in 1990 (386 and 486) and have kept going ever since. It's only in the past 4 years that I've repurposed some older hardware using Ubuntu as the main operating system. I much prefer Linux to Windows, albeit my scripting abilities are pretty limited.

            The Raspberry Pi 3B has been a godsend. I've got 4 of them now - one as a media centre, 2 doing Retropie duties and the last one acting as a NAS (using openmediavault). It's pretty remarkable what these things can do for the price, thanks to the community getting on board too.

            I'll have a look around for 'b2-pop2' too. Thanks for that.

            I've also got aliases to work and have basically set up 3 separate hard drive images of 500mb each - one for POP1, one for POP2 and the last is just for the vanilla operating system. This means I can now start POP1 and POP2 automatically from the Retropie menu. I've also figured out a way of having separate xboxdrv configs for POP1 and POP2 as well, albeit starting a game in POP1 still seems to need the keyboard/mouse at present. I just haven't figured that out yet.

              I had a Commodore 64 when I was a kid as well. I guess the reason I don't count it as the first system I ever used is because I only ever taught myself enough about it to start games. I really regret that now because I know I would have had a lot of fun diving in deeper.

                    @hermit Excuse my ignorance, but what do you mean by "N" discs?

                      Create as many disks as there are games.
                      as you explained some posts higher up

                        @hermit Thanks for the explanation.

                        Unfortunately, no (at least from my point of view).

                        The only way I found was to have a separate disk (hard drive) for each game. I only ended up doing the 2 games - Prince of Persia and Prince of Persia 2. These were the only games I really wanted and I wanted them to start automatically which they each do using shortcuts on the Mac.

                          @mediamogul I've been seeing this on the forum here about this mysterious basilisk config file that needs to be in basilisk but I haven't seen anything in the docs about this. Seems like the docs could use a lot more information about basilisk. Where can I find out how to create and use this config? I have my os 7.5.3 Macintosh img and rom working fine, all I'd like to do now is make it be 640x480 and full screen. If I do anything lower than 1600x1200 in the run command options or within the emulator using the screen settings, it displays in a smaller window in the upper left corner of the display.
