    Tiger / Leopard TenFourFox/Roccat?

    Currently running Tiger on a 12"G4PB 1.5GHz/1.25Gb. TenFourFox is a little slow. In the opinion of those who have tried it, would it be worth moving to Leopard in order to be able to use Roccat? TIA, Stuart.

    Help finding OS X Tiger or Leopard for PPC

    Leopard on 700MHz - Advice?

    As my signature states, I have a 700MHz iMac G4, 15 inch. It's currently running Tiger and I'm pretty happy with it. TFF works pretty well with tweaks, and there is some software that supports it. Normally I always prefer Tiger. But in the past month or so I've seen more of the advantages to...

    Install OS X Tiger/Leopard on Apple TV 1

    Okay, will these steps work in order to install OS X on an Apple TV 1 directly onto its internal hard drive? (With an external USB storage device) (I do not have the Apple TV itself, so if I need to input a serial number or something like that I will not be able to continue with that step) Now...

    Help! Need WebKit.framework from 10.5.8

    While testing some things, I accidentally lost the WebKit.framework file from my Power Mac G5 (I know, I should've backed up/should've been more careful. Sorry). I've tried the file from the 10.5.8 Combo update, and all of my WebKit applications (like Mail) crash on startup. I assume the version...

The developer sent me an email the other day, so today I downloaded it on my G5 Quad and gave it a shot connecting...

    Continuing the Leopard Market

    So, I've just been given permission to take up the the Leopard Market project that started back in 2014. The idea was great: an app store for Leopard with all of the latest PowerPC software. But there are now no future plans for the Market, so I'm going to be continuing the project and making...
