"For now, the old GUI application can be used on Intel with Rosetta. Hopefully someone will provide a real Prefs application that will run on Intel. The prefs file can also be viewed and edited in a text editor like TextEdit. You can open the file in TextEdit by typing in Terminal:
open .basilisk_ii_prefs
followed by a return
The line that starts with "screen" sets window mode "win" or full-screen mode "dga", and the screen size. Resolution "0" is what is called "Maximum" in the GUI
screen win/1024/768 is window mode size 1024x768
screen dga/0/0 is full-screen using the actual screen resolution"
Hope that helps!

Thanks for the info but this did not fix the problem with games not running fullscreen on Basilisk II emulator,if anyone knows how to run games full screen on Basilisk II please tell me or if anyone knows any other Mac emulator for the PC that runs games at full screen that would be very helpful.

The trick is to set the emulated systems screen resolution first, to 'fit' the games resolution. Then set Basilisk's resolution to full screen as per above.
Ie; your game fills the screen at 480x320, then set the system's resolution to 480x320 and last set full screen in Basilisk's preferences.
HTH!
