Okey, time to set up things...
The 2005 version of 0.8.0.142 does have a few bugs and half arsed code.
For example: the only cpu choice is 68040 and its writen to the prefs file as 68040, trouble here is the 68040 entry is void and now represented by 4. You also need the JIT entries, needed for the most resent version but the option is not included in the BasiliskII-gui.exe, you can add them by hand but like the example above the changes will be overwriten when the gui.exe runs again. Again, not a problem if you know of them.
Gwenole doesn't use windows to my knowledge, any port is a very low priority and bound to be less than 100%. That said running OS8.5-9.1 on a pc or OSX (for that matter) would still be a way off without him, both very doable with a hardware upgrade. More so again if you run a flavor of Nix.
When your wearing your Windows hat surely you have found older versions of programs that are better than newer versions, just another example I guess, atleast the gui reflects the exe's prefs correctly. ;)
I hope it goes well, if not just think of Bill Gates demonstrating plug & play with a scanner and the blue screen of death - smile.
