Problem with large drive? about bluescsi HOT 5 CLOSED

Finally received my STlinkV2, so I flashed the BlueSCSI to the latest version. To my surprise, the files seem to be fine now, and games launch fine!

So I tried creating a large drive (20GB) and filled it with 200 folders and put 10 empty text files in each folder, but that failed to reproduce the problem. So either this happens when the drive is close to full, or Basilisk somehow corrupted it. It's weird that it seems fine in Basilisk, though.

The one thing with Basilisk II and some other emulators is that it doesn't really emulate scsi devices - it just searches for the first HFS looking partition and uses that. Glad you got it working and enjoy!

If you'd like an emulator that does emulate SCSI (though a bit harder to use) is PCE (mac plus) or MAME.

Unfortunately I have not gotten the drive working yet properly using BlueSCSI. Do note that the drive is mounting, it's just that most binaries do not work and the icons look corrupted, like in the picture below.

I understand that Basilisk II doesn't emulate SCSI, otherwise it would probably not be as fast as it is. That's also the reason I used Basilisk to install everything. Un-Stuffing on the Macintosh takes considerably more time.

I built a Python parser for inspecting the apple partition maps etc., but I'm not seeing anything weird there. Do you have any tips where things could be going wrong? Could the resource forks be pointing in an area not accessible by the actual machine?

Also, is installing everything on the Quadra instead of Basilisk the safest bet? I spent a whole day doing installations, on the Quadra it will probably take even longer, so I don't want to have to redo that.

ahh! I misread your second message as it was only in BII that it was corrupted, glad the update got it going!
