68K Emulator For Os9 Mac OS 9

Im doing this so I can play games like Marathon in Mac OS 9.2 Moonlight.

But I also wanted to get into the even older 68k games like Dark Castle.

Im not especially fond of the compact macs as I like everything hooked up to one display and I could just switch between the computers.

When we moved to a color Performa 475 with a huge 14-inch monitor, most of the games we had on the SE30 would not work properly--not only sound issues but unresolveable screen positionresartifact things.

The only stuff that ran without issue on the Sys7 Mac were HyperCard games like Manhole (made by the brothers who ultimately did Myst.).

Ive tried to convince them that its time to enter the 21st century and upgrade to Intel Macs running Leopard, but they rely on ancient OS 9 versions of Freehand and Illustrator Carlos Santos says: December 6, 2008 at 2:23 am Nice old news, thats funny, but I do use OS9 (9.2.2) on a old G4450 with 800 something Ram and 2 internal HD (20 and 80) and 1 external FW 160.

One of them is Jerad Walters, who runs publishing house Centipede Press and does so using a mirror-door 1.2 GHz G4, 1.25 GB RAM and 1.7TB of hard disk space spread across four hard drives.

But why, Jerad, why My books are built with InDesign 1.5 and Photoshop 6 running Suitcase 8.

The G4 boots up in about 30 seconds and then I have a QuicKey sequence that loads all applications in largest-chunkof-RAM-required order (Photoshop first, InDesign second, etc).

However, the speed of the Finder is OS X is also pretty quick, but there is just a responsiveness in 9 that cannot be matched by X.

Plus it is easier to tell windows from background from menus.

There is a clarity to the OS 9 display that is lacking in OS X.

He makes use of the DragAnyWindow control panel for easier window management, and of HoverBar, a precursor to the OS X Dock.

Jerad does use OS X occasionally it has a drive all to itself but when hes using it he misses things only found in OS9.

I miss the Put Away command, and the regular trash can more than anything.

Theres one thing I wish OS 9 had: an option for a toolbar for Finder windows; that is a really nice feature of OS X.

Tell us why were all wrong to be using this newfangled OS X stuff.

68K Emulator For Os9 Driver Running OS

Folders openclosescroll faster on a DP533 with ATA driver running OS 9 than on a Core2Duo 1.5 Ghz with SATA drives.

And I REALLY liked how OS 9 would remember the view settings and location of each folder.

OS X will reset the settings every once in a while, and moving between nested folders (either going to child or parent folder) will use the same window instead of always using a new window like the preferences have been set to.

Dont get me wrong, OS X is by far a much better operating system.

When you switch between the two, you can feel the lag between when you initiate an operation, and when it starts happening (and when it completes) that just isnt there with OS 9.

Momar says: December 5, 2008 at 11:02 pm Hey I still use OS 8 on my upgraded Color Classic for websurfing I just like the feel of the old OS.

But I do love OS X and I find it more robust and use a G5 and Macbook for multimedia and my main machines.

If everything is working great and you have everything you need, leave things alone Good job Jerad Christopher Crimson says: December 5, 2008 at 11:29 pm -They have NO internet We may see a comment IF the word-to-mouth function (in a day or two).

They have email, thanks to OutlookXpress 5.9.1.1.0.1 PS OS 9.2 Classic users are not part of the Brotherhood.

CC. Chas says: December 5, 2008 at 11:50 pm I know OS 9 users are a dying breed, but I still use it because of the consistency of the user-interface, and simplicityease of use.

Dave says: December 5, 2008 at 11:58 pm I work for a screen printing and embroidery company that uses a first gen Mac Mini running Tiger (but all of the work done is in Classic mode) and a beige PowerMac G3 (which I wasnt even aware of before I saw itI thought the first PMG3s were the blue-and-white ones) running 9.1.

The G3 was an upgrade from their previous workhorse: a Centris 610.
