    PowerPC Media Center 7.2.6 Intel Edition For Tiger Comes With One Of The Best Video Players For Intel Tiger

    I just released PPCMC 7.2.6, and I have made the first ever native Intel build of PowerPC Media Center 7. I had to figure out myself how to fix FFmpeg to compile on Mac OS X 10.4 Intel (PowerPC was just fine). And then... I got all x86 assembly optimizations enabled in the FFmpeg/FFplay and...

    12” PowerBook G4s: Leopard v Tiger

    Hi all, Is there a consensus on which OS is better for a 12” PowerBook G4? I’ve installed Tiger on a 867mhz model, and Leopard on a 1.5Ghz. Both with max RAM (1125 on the low end), both with a SSD upgrade (mSATA to IDE). What’s surprised me is that the Tiger machine feels just a touch...

    9/30/21 - DGEN - Sega Genesis/MegaDrive Emulator With Pre-configured Xbox 360 Controller Support For Intel Mac OS X 10.4.x

    I ported this Sega genesis emulator to Mac OS X 10.3.9+ PowerPC last year. The problem with DGEN is there are no assembly optimizations available for Mac OS X, PowerPC OR Intel. This means the emulation cores are all in C and not as fast as the assembly codes that can run on Linux. So the...

    Mac Mini 2006, keep it as 1,1 or upgrade to 2,1

    Hi all, this is quite a silly question but to improve the thread I am including some pictures of what one would say it's a brand new 2006 Mac Mini which is really the interesting part of this post. Mac Mini 2006 was my first Mac ever, unfortunately my old Mini died some years ago. This year I...

    Weird YouTube Changes, State of Age-Gated Videos, And PPCMC7 Becoming The Only YouTube Live Stream Method On PowerPC Macs?

    PPCMC 7 is now 1.5 years old, and has seen 25 updates since version 7.0. Recently it has come to my attention that something weird is going on with using VLC and QuickTime to watch YouTube livestreams. Apparently Google changed something, I think it’s to do with the codec/format somehow...

    Add emoji (“backmoji”) support to Snow Leopard (as well as Leopard & Tiger)

    Whilst looking for ways to get some level of basic emoji support for the Clouded Leopard project (Snow Leopard for PowerPC), I learnt of a nifty way to integrate a basic, early emoji support for Snow Leopard, Leopard, and even Tiger. This workaround for what I guess amounts to backmojis can be...

    6-16-2021 - The Latest IOQuake3 Had Been Ported To Mac OS X 10.3.9/10.4.x/10.5.x/10.6.x PowerPC

    IOQuake 3 is an open source Quake III game engine. Awhile ago, I ported the latest version to OpenBSD and got it added to the official OpenBSD ports tree. Now with the power of Panther SDL2 I have restored Mac OS X 10.3.9/10.4.x compatibility to the latest version of IOQuake3. Previously, Mac OS...

    Screencapture filename options for adding SQL-style date/time strings, pre-10.6?

    I gather from searching around that the answer amounts to “not possible”: From SL onward, the default file name for screencapture is “Screen shot YYYY-MM-DD at HH:mm:ss.[format]”. Pre-SL, the default file name was “Picture [x].[format]”, where “x” was a sequential digit. In Tiger or Leopard...
