Been lurking for a while now just to cover my bases and not post an identical thread. I recently got my hands on a 2003 eMac, 4,4 800mhz. It's unfortunately got the CD drive and not the DVD drive, but the thing was $30 so 🤷‍♂️ I purchased some ram and a Mighty Mouse *cough* the best mouse...

I recently acquired a 2005 eMac for free (school was gonna throw it out) and it's currently running OSX Leopard 10.5.8. I've heard of the Sorbet Leopard project, and through some searching I've also found Shuriken Tiger. The eMac has a 1.42GHz G4, 80GB HDD and 512MB of RAM (planning to upgrade)...

How high of an Speedometer score do you guys get? (on an old PowerPC ofcourse!😉) Here is mine: URL is https://browserbench.org/Speedometer2.1!

Hello, I am working on configuring Netboot on Snow Leopard Server. Previously, I had made a disk image of SL from a hard drive on a Mac with the OS on it. This image works, and when I mount it System Image Utility gives me options to create a Netboot disk image. However, when I mount a disk...

I thought I'd start a thread about how to develop applications for PowerPC Macs running Tiger and Leopard, as I learn to do so. (I know there is a programming-specific sub-forum here, but that's really oriented towards modern macOS / iOS development, so I figured this sub-forum is a better fit...

Sometimes you just need Git but you don't want to go through the hassle of compiling it on MacPorts. So here it is! http://macintoshgarden.org/apps/modern-git-tiger-and-leopard It's Git for Tiger and Leopard packaged using the "port mpkg git" command. I added the parts of the MacPorts...

In an effort to extend Xcode v2.5 (Tiger) text editing functionality, I stumbled across these lesser-known custom key binding features in OS X... Emacs Keybindings for Mac OS X https://irreal.org/blog/?p=259 Fully detailed here: http://www.hcs.harvard.edu/~jrus/site/cocoa-text.html Default...

Hello. I’m unable to boot into the MacOS X 10.4 Tiger install DVD on my PowerMac G4 MDD (2003). I’ve recently installed several distros of Linux until I found out the graphical issues I experienced were from it’s ATI Radeon 9000. So until I buy a new card, and one that would work with Linux, I...

Weatherpop , Grok (and its son) is broke. Not using tiger but that widget is dead too. Any Hope?

Y'all have heard of Sorbet Leopard for PPC Macs right? But Leopard only runs on G4 and G5. not G3. So i was wondering. Could the developer of Sorbet Leopard make a version of Sorbet for G3 Macs with the same patches for the G3? Call it Sorbet G3/Tiger

Back then, I asked the MacRumors users if i can hack a OS X Intel Tiger disc to work on an early 2009 iMac. So I would like to ask if there is a way to hack an OS X Tiger install to work on Legacy GPUs like kexts, etc. like, you know that patchers like the Catalina Patcher does graphics...

https://alex-free.github.io/sm64ex-creator https://macintoshgarden.org/games/sm64ex-creator This software can create a native Super Mario 64 Port for Mac OS X 10.4 Intel Tiger on your Mac's desktop with an all in one easy to use GUI. It compiles my fork of SM64EX. Currently this requires...

I recently picked up a regrettable PowerMac G5 to stand in for my G4 Digital Audio which won't turn on. (I wish I had just replaced the power supply, but I was taken in by the G5's relative cheapness.) My entire purpose has been to maintain access to old files and applications, which I can't do...

The web is getting more and more bloated. Even with TenFourFox FPR 32 Intel on Snow Leopard (2.93GHz, 8GB RAM, NVIDIA 9600M GT 512MB) the modern YouTube.com is unusable due to how slow everything functions (even with uBlock legacy). Yes, I know there are other browser options and tweaks, but I...

Hello everyone I have my PB G4 12" as my music/video machine while I'm working, right now i'm using it with cord headphones, but when I try to use some bluetooth headset, the audio is chopped and with very low quality (assuming that because bluetooth 1.1).. I connected a bluetooth dongle but...

I was playing around with OpenVPN on Windows XP on the Mac mini and I got the last version for XP working with my VPN provider by editing the .ovpn file to remove some settings it did not support. I want to see if i can do the same on Tiger, so I tried to download the last Tiger release and...

I just released PPCMC 7.2.6, and I have made the first ever native Intel build of PowerPC Media Center 7. I had to figure out myself how to fix FFmpeg to compile on Mac OS X 10.4 Intel (PowerPC was just fine). And then... I got all x86 assembly optimizations enabled in the FFmpeg/FFplay and...

Hi all, Is there a consensus on which OS is better for a 12” PowerBook G4? I’ve installed Tiger on a 867mhz model, and Leopard on a 1.5Ghz. Both with max RAM (1125 on the low end), both with a SSD upgrade (mSATA to IDE). What’s surprised me is that the Tiger machine feels just a touch...

I ported this Sega genesis emulator to Mac OS X 10.3.9+ PowerPC last year. The problem with DGEN is there are no assembly optimizations available for Mac OS X, PowerPC OR Intel. This means the emulation cores are all in C and not as fast as the assembly codes that can run on Linux. So the...
