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. 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.

Ports of Basilisk II are available for Mac OS X, Windows, Linux and a number of lesser known systems. With Basilisk II, one can boot Mac OS versions 7.x through 8.1.

Basilisk II is an open source emulator of 68xxx-based Macintosh computers for Windows, OS X and Linux.
