BasiliskII ported to the PSVita by meatpatty

I know a couple of us are just dying to play an old System 7 version of Oregon Trail on the go with the PSVita. That’s why there’s Basilisk II, a 68k Mac emulator for the PSP & now for the PSVita using Henkaku.

BasiliskIIBasilisk can run systems 7.5.5 through 7.6.1 pretty decently. You will need a mac.rom file to legally run it, but we all know you’ve got that laying around someplace. This Port of Basilisk II is for the PSVita and its based off Chilly Willy’s excellent port to the PSP. You’ll also need firmware 3.60 to run Henkaku to install the vpk file onto the PSVita to run this port Basilisk II.
