Hi, as I wrote in the title, tiny core don't Detects the virtual hard disk, how i can fix this? Is there anything to put on when it starts? any help is appreciated :)

Hi all, I have an iSight camera arriving in a few days, and I’m trying to figure out if it can work on a PowerPC Mac with any kind of video calling these days. I can’t see that FaceTime is likely to be compatible, but any thoughts on in-browser solutions, iChat, or more imaginative...

Anyone has an experience? I wanna try installing it as a second system. Instructions online appear to be pre-historic, while PowerPC (incl. ppc64) should be fully supported in the latest FreeBSD 13.

Got a Performa 5215CD and when I boot it up I get fan spin and drive noise but no video. The CD drive even opens up. When I take out the board there is no damage and other than a fine layer of dust, it looks like new. What could be the problem here? If it needs a recap, where can I find an in...

Hello everyone, So I got an old PowerMac G3 Blue and White off eBay. At first, I had problems with getting a signal. I reseated the RAM a few times and everything worked again. Last night I was writing a text on Mac OS 8.5.1 and then I turned the Mac off. This morning, I wanted to use it...

TFF is no more, and anyway FF is grumpy. How about building a modern Webkit-based browser? To be honest, I do not yet conceive the difficulty involved. However, as a first step, I did fix building all essential dependencies for WebKit2-gtk for PowerPC, including the latest versions of gstreamer1...

While this is not strictly PPC problem but rather common to old OS, I guess I have higher chances to get a reply here. After iOS 15.3.1 update iPhone hotspot began to be detected on 10.6 and lower as 802.1x network, and Mac consequently asks for Username/Password, while in reality of course no...

So I have OS X 10.1 Puma installed on my iBook G3 Snow. but i wanted to upgrade it. but sadly i only had 2 blank CDs left, so i used the blank CDs for Jaguar. So when was installing Jaguar. The Installer gets stuck in the essential system apps part and the CD Drive stops. HOW DO I FIX IT! I...

I would love some advice. I got an Nvidia 7800GS for my PowerMac G4 MDD. I was able to flash the correct ROM and put tape on pins 3 and 11. I installed it on my PM and booted. It took a while to boot but Sorbet Leopard loaded. I went to the profiler and it saw the GPU. However Geekbench was...

I dunno if this info is gonna be of value for anyone, but just in case: if you want to build software on Leopard for ppc64 with Macports or otherwise, you will likely bump into a problem with llvm, which is required for ld64 (native Xcode one won't work for new stuff) and has to be of the same...

I am trying to fix ghc compiler for PowerPC Macs. I was able to build ghc 7.6.3 after bootstrapping ghc 7.0.1 from existing semi-official source, however as of now 7.7 and 7.8.4 fail to build with an odd error. I describe the progress here: https://trac.macports.org/ticket/64698 Relevant topic...

I have bumped into this post and found it pretty fascinating: how to get Tiger onto a pre-historic PowerMac. Wonder if the author is here. https://www.jump-ing.com/?en/Projects/Tiger_on_7600

Hello, I apologize for my ignorance for this topic. I am trying to get Linux on my (New World) PowerPC Mac and am having an extremely hard time. I was trying Macbuntu but after burning the ISO to a DVD, I cannot boot from it by holding option at startup. I click on the disc but it will just...

Has anyone been able to build i2p and Signal for PowerPC? i2p has a version in C++ which in principle should build: https://i2pd.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ GUI version requires Qt5, so unless someone either backports it to Qt4 or fixes Qt5 for ppc, we are out of luck...

Hello, I have a summer 2001 iMac G3 that I have no idea the background of. All I know is that it does not turn on. I have changed the PRAM battery and pushed the reset button on the logic board, and I have checked the trickle power which showed that the PSU isn't supplying enough power. I am...

While I looked around for the Dropbox for my G4 machines (Powerbook G4 1.5, MDD 2 x 1Ghz & Powermac G4 1.2Ghz), since @Czo had stopped updating his Dropbox magic, I found two alternatives that can sync what I type in my Powerpc realm to the current world of two-way aunthentication. 1. I use...

Hey all, I recently acquired a 2000 Graphite Gigabit Ethernet Power Mac G4 from an estate sale, and it came with the mouse, keyboard, monitor, and everything. It’s in very good condition, but the thing doesn’t power on right now because the clock battery inside of it is dead, so I’ve ordered a...

I have asked in Devepment section, but apparently no one gonna reply there since my question is related to PowerPC: https://forums.macrumors.com/threads/how-to-customize-xcode-support-of-compilers.2332673 Thus asking here. I have a rather non-standard set up to build for PowerPC: 10.6 PPC...
