LisaEm crashes when booting from floppy?

[hdfsyu]

Hi there! I'm trying to get Lisa OS 3.1 running on LisaEm (images were downloaded from macintoshrepository.org) but whenever I try booting the floppy, it freezes LisaEm and immediately crashes. No output... Any help?

Hi hdfsyu,

So this is an old, deprecated repo, the current repo is here: https://github.com/rayarachelian/lisaem

Currently the 1.2.7-RC3a is generally the best code to use, RC4 has issues under macos and windows, funnily enough also related to disk images. I'm in the middle of a bunch of things, but once things are a bit better, I'll push to the "unstable" branch of https://github.com/rayarachelian/lisaem, and eventually release RC5.

It would help to know what kind of host system you're on (macos? linux? windows? freebsd? openbsd? openindiana? solaris?) and what version of the OS you're running on. It would help to know what version of LisaEm you're using, and whether you've built it yourself, or used a binary.

There are several versions of Lisa Office System on macintoshgarden, it would help to know which of the downloads you've used. I'd guess https://www.macintoshrepository.org/23274-lisa-office-system-3-1 but there's also this: https://www.macintoshrepository.org/641-lisa-os-2-and-3

Windows, but I have an early 2015 macbook, tried it on that and looks like it does the same thing

I tried using 1.2.7-RC3a and it did the same thing. I used the first macintoshrepository link that you sent (lisa-office-system-3-1)
