Agree BasiliskII is an old thing, and there is a lot of tinkering by a lot of peoples...
But I find that it is relatively well followed on emaculation.com, at least the main KanjiTalk755 fork.
I usually find good support there.
What did not work for you ?

I got one specific beef with it: The SIGSEV Ignore option only works on Intel and PPC systems, but I run on Arm64 Debian.

Thus far no one there has been able to give me a technical reason why that restriction exists, but it bothers me just as that missing MMU annoys me.

The later I could live with but the former can crash my system when I least need it.

Also, QEMU offers snapshots, life disk compression and true SCSI emulation - which many disk tools insist on.

Update: I tested various Windows and Linux versions on qemu-x86 on my Arm64 (Qualcomm QuadCore) host and anything beyond Win98SE or DSL (ancient Debian Woody) forces the system to a crawl - if it runs at all.

Maybe PPC emulations are a lot faster, but I don't see how. That makes me focus on m68k again, as it doesn't make sense to me to build up a Mac system that's too slow to actually work on.

But that shouldn't hold anyone back running Qemu on a more favourable system than mine.
