basiliskiivm
- manage and run multiple BasiliskII VMs
basiliskiivm
options command
BasiliskII(1) is a free, portable 68k Mac emulator, however it only has a single configuration file and so does not easily support emulating multiple virtual Macs. basiliskiivm
is a wrapper around BasiliskII which simplifies the process of creating, managing, and running multiple VMs. It does this by packaging BasiliskII configuration files, disk images, and other state data for each VM into a *.BasiliskIIVM directory/bundle, which can then be acted on using convenience commands.
