Which specific user agent did you use ( between the two youtube ones ), and how do you add them to Wayfarer to use?
Thanks
Got a tip for us?

It's good but let's not forget LWK would be pretty nimble on a Dual 1.8 too
My Powerbook doing similar in LWK...
Check the MorphOS compatibility page
If it isn't fully supported, it's for either sound card or graphics card reasons. Graphics are easy to fix on a Mac tower, but sound card...
Nice!It's good but let's not forget LWK would be pretty nimble on a Dual 1.8 too

You can’t however beat MorphOS’ very quick boot times ?
If sound isn’t supported, what good is it ? I guess next revision it will support sound.
I still prefer OWB with this script to watch or download youtube videos.
Dont even have to let the video page load. Just right click on the url to play via mplayer.

I’ll have to give it a go. I think OWB is discontinued at this point so was trying to see what I can do with what’s current.
It is, but its still new enough (2020) to work with 95% of the web yet, and its blazing fast. I still use it for general browsing. I only use wayfarer for those stubborn "chrome" sites.
Cheers
Installed ATi Radeon X1900 in my G5 dual core, boot MorphOS 3.17 CD and get a white screen.... What am I missing? ?
Well this is NO BUENO... 😫 G5 Hardware compatibility for MorphOS 3.x. Only PowerMac 7,2 and PowerMac7,3 (A1047) are fully supported. I believe I have a 11,2.

I have the same machine and same video card. Everything works in MorphOS except the built in ethernet and wifi. To get around the wifi issue i pulled the airport extreme card out of my 1.6ghz G5. It fits in the slot and works, but you have to make your own antenna. I just used a twist tie from a loaf of bread, trimmed off some of the paper, and jammed it in the hole on the airport then routed it out the front of the case through one of the cheese grater holes. Then i ordered a cheap wifi extender and plugged it in close to the G5 as the twist tie doesn't have that great of a range.

Sorry but, what is LWK please ?
Thanks for the reply. I'm thinking my issue is the flashed X1900GT is not compatible... 😿

Flashed cards are hit and miss with MorphOS.
With a clear emphasis on "miss".....
This post is amazing. I love this.

Thanks for that WIFi info. Did additional research and this worked!youtu.be/5SpIW5N9WYg

That's pretty neat, but you can buy airport extereme cards on ebay for $10. Im cheap. I just bought another to replace the one I stole from the other G5 and the WiFi extender was $12.

Purchased it recently. Runs great except BCM4306 Wifi PCI card.(after few days of googling I found out they are not compatible)
Chrysalis mod is essential as it is much easier to install than to dig software or settings.
BTW, ports of open source software like Libre Office would be nice.(many apps are already ported)

I've a couple of old PowerPC Macs and would like to multi boot them. If anyone has any guidance I'd appreciate it (what to format HDD - MBR/GUID(GPT)/ApplePartMap - partition layout. Which OS to install first etc).
A G4 1.5 Mini and a G5 iMac and want both to triple/quad boot - OSX(maybe two)/MOS/Debian

Why “if”? ATI cards were officially supported on PM G5 2005. Of course they work.
Yeah, MorphOS is neat. However it's more of a "tinker" OS for many as there aren't any good office suites. Only simple text, rtf stuff. That's about it. For classic Amiga games, listening to music, watching videos and browsing the web casually it does fairly well though.
I've never had an issue with WPA2 honestly. My 15" powerbook, mac mini, and powermac G5 all connected no problem.
As for the backlit keyboard, i don't remember if it worked or not. I bought the license for my mac mini because i really like dual booting Leopard and Lubuntu 12.04 Remix on my 15" powerbook. For the record, back lit keyboard does work on 12.04 Remix and also on Void-PPC Linux. It always acted wonky on Ubuntu 16.04 (including 16.04 remix) and Debian 10 for me however.
My suggestion would be to install MorphOS so you get the "real" feel of it. Install some software and play with the 30 minute demo mode for a few weeks (rebooting every 30 minutes). If you like what you see buy it. It took me a few years to break down and buy a license. I used it for a month or 2 and now i never really use it. I still have more fun with Leopard and Linux, and can do more with them. It is a cool OS though, and it is fast. It just lacks in some areas in my opinion and crashes quite often. Thankfully it reboots in like 15 seconds.

Don’t care about Office, but does it have compilers? Can we run Macports on it?
It has gcc yes. Macports i doubt. Its not a Unix based OS and needs special libraries and linkers passed to it when porting *nix based software. I have yet to successfully build anything on MOS other than the simple examples included. Seasoned amiga/mos users have ported/built a ton of stuff however.
