1) When you say System7.app and KanjiTalk7.app are you referring to the default Mac OS release with the default ROM in both cases? 2) What ROM and Mac OS release are you running your native BasiliskII app with?

Seems to work fine in our System 7.5.3 environment with the same default ROM as on System7.app, so the ROM question is ruled out. My guess is there's some extension missing or conflicting with this software in System7.app.

I know nothing at all about IntelligentPad, but the error message in the log that you've posted states "Check the application's search paths in resource STR# 10000." and this raises my suspicion that you're trying to execute this from a location where the resource fork is unavailable... Are you trying to launch it from the emulated hard drive or from "The Outside World" ?

It works here:

When you say System7.app and KanjiTalk7.app are you referring to the default Mac OS release with the default ROM in both cases?

I'm referring to these two websites:

• https://system7.app which resolves to https://infinitemac.org/1996/System%207.5.3
• https://KanjiTalk7.app which resolves to https://infinitemac.org/1996/KanjiTalk%207.5.3

What ROM and Mac OS release are you running your native BasiliskII app with?

My ROM

• af343f3f1362bf29cefd630687efaa25 1994-07 - 06684214 - LC,Quadra,Performa 630.ROM

I've tried

• 7.1
• 7.5.5 English
• J-7.5.3 Japanese

Are you trying to launch it from the emulated hard drive or from "The Outside World" ?

This was indeed the problem, I had moved it to the desktop from "The Outside World" but it seems that technically it's still located in there. I tried again just now and made a copy of the .sit file on the hard drive, expanded that, and it ran just fine!

Thanks!
