    AirPlay Receiver PowerPC Mac?

    Hey guys! I had a thought, since I recently got an iMac G5 that works, with those nice speakers, wouldn't it be nice to turn it into an AirPlay receiver for my iTunes from my MacBook or iPod touch? I looked around online a bit, and only seemed to find 1 app that was a standalone app that didn't...

    iMac G3 Repair

    Hey guys! I would like to start out with this post by acknowledging that the iMac G3 is in fact very old. I do not plan to use this as my main system by any means as I have a very capable computer for that. When I was younger however, I used to use this machine so there is a huge amount of...

    PPC and Leopard as Daily Driver

    Hello everybody, I am new to this forum, and I was suprised to see an active PPC community. But I am wondering, do people here still use PowerMac G3s, G4s and G5s as a daily driver for tasks like webbrowsing/YouTube? How does that still work on a machine like a PowerMac G3 and an older OS like...

    PowerPC Modern Games Pack (2017)

    An unique set of actively developed open source games ported to PowerPC Macs running Leopard (with some minor [untested] support for Tiger). These only had binary Intel builds, so after some heavy treatment, they fit right at home. Xonotic - 0.8.2 http://www.xonotic.org/ An arena...

    Bought an iBook for $7. Now what?

    I was at a yard sale this morning. Much to my surprise, a teenage girl was selling a 2005, 12 inch iBook G4 1.33. She assured me that though she didn’t have the charger, it worked. Skeptical, I asked how much? $7. No freaking way. $7, working or not, is an unbelievable deal on an iBook G4...

    iBook G4 won't latch correctly

    When I close my iBook, most times it won't latch, and I have to push the display to the left for it to catch. The screen is very out of alignment with the body and I think that this is probably why it won't latch like it should. Short of replacing the hinges, are there any possible fixes for this?

    Post Your Modded About This Mac! (PowerPC)

    I know a few of us have modified our About This Mac screens because it's SO EASY on PowerPC. Leopard leaves the .nib unencrypted, so we can edit with ease. I figured it would be fun if we could collect the modded ATMs all in one place. Then people can choose different ones to use. If you've...
