    Would it be possible to backport FF 52 changes to TFF if it targeted Leopard?

    Would using 10.5 as a minimum make it possible to backport FF52 and possibly boost performance? I've noticed that most software made past 2008 only supported Leopard on PPC and a lot of software backporting that happens stops at 10.5 intel or 10.6 because Tiger is so outdated. Would using...

    Hello, I recently obtained a Sawtooth G4 (400MHz AGP), and I'm trying to install Leopard on one of the internal drives (for multiple reasons). But I can't get anything to boot. No matter what I try, I always get the same exact kernel panic, with the error: "Unable to find driver for this...

    DIY power adapter ok for Tiger, not for Leopard

    I recently detailed (in another thread) how I’d made a power supply for my Pismo using a stereo plug, an RCA plug, and an old Dell powerbrick. It’s still working fine, however when I installed Leopard on another partition the other day I noticed that there was an “x” in the battery icon and...

    Dashboard Launcher Widget for 10.4+

    Hi all, I've been working on a widget that acts as an app launcher (a la Launcher, Launchpad) for the dashboard. It's a pretty functional beta right now, but there are a few issues that still need hammered out before I can call it done for a real "1.0" app. I'm calling it dbLauncher, because...

    Are there any tools similar to Karabiner for Leopard?

    I'm looking for a keyboard remapping tool similar to Karabiner-Elements that would work on the PowerPC version of Leopard. Does anyone know if such a utility exists? Thanks!

    Other Finder peculiarities with resource-fork icons (ICNS) rendering in Leopard, when ICNS are created/pasted in at least High Sierra

    The title I’m starting here isn’t very helpful and is also kind of vague, so I’ll try to describe here what the title can’t, along with a bit of background. Some background on why I’m posting: For many years, I’ve maintained an archival library of music on which I’ve been curating since about...

    OSX version recommendations for 2005 eMac?

    I recently acquired a 2005 eMac for free (school was gonna throw it out) and it's currently running OSX Leopard 10.5.8.

    Developing for Tiger and Leopard / PowerPC (a devlog)

    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...

    Mozilla-based browser rendering discrepancies between Leopard and later OS X versions

    After all the time I’ve spent on here these last several years, I feel I ought to know the culprit behind oddball font rendering of web pages encoded in non-Western/Unicode fonts. But this one has me stumped. (Or else my brain is falling apart.) Take, for instance, an old...
