So, don’t use QuickTime.... at all. iTunes will handle MP4’s and MOV’s downloaded from YouTube just fine... QuickTime just results in the audio playing but no video.
I'm not sure why you can't boot 9A303. I've had no problem booting it.
Once booted however, it's basically useless. Finder hangs and relaunches when opening any finder window. This is why I have actual photos instead of screenshots.
It only does it on G3s, not G4s. Not sure why.

It’ll boot fine but I’m faced with the same issue as you. Replacing the Carbon framework with the one found in 9A241, results in inability to login. It’ll kick me back to the login screen. Likewise, replacing it with the one found in Tiger results in the system not booting the whole way, sitting there spinning at the boot screen.

WTh. I think my eyes have been changing words lately, lol. I could've sworn I read you said it wouldn't boot.
I haven't been playing with my Macs as much lately, I go through phases. One of these days I'll play with this build again. I wonder if we could swap the entire Finder.app?
I was able to use this build on a G4, and Finder was still way buggier than 9A241 was, though not as crippling as on the G3. The subsequent build is more stable. I'd really like to try to get 9A410 or at least 343 working. It gets further than later builds.

I plan on hacking in the intro music from Jaguar for the heck of it... once we figure out how we can image a system without the restore being unable to boot.
If you are having trouble with Finder, perhaps you could obtain a PPC version of PathFinder. It is superior to Finder in many ways and just a small change in, as I recall, /Library/loginitems.plist allows you to use it entirely in place of Finder (this is what I was doing on my Cube). The tricky bit, though, is getting a reg, though Cocoatech (the author) might be able to help.

Hi, I saw this forum and thought I could help testing out builds. I have a clamshell running at 466mhz with maxed out ram. Just ask me what you need tested and I can do it.

I’ve done a decent amount of testing on my G3, and 9A241 is the most usable of the few builds that boot, with 9A303 being almost completely unusable due to the Finder not cooperating. I would test 9A283 or 9A241e but those haven’t been leaked yet.
Sadly you can’t update iTunes very far (due to QuickTime not being able to be updated past final 7.2 without breaking your install.) but you can slightly (manually) update Safari to 3.1.1, which allows for it work instead of crashing.

So I see what you mean about the newer versions, I managed to get the installer to boot, but it hangs at a blue screen then shuts off. This is on all versions past 9a303.
Hi all. Welcome to the community WikiPost. We will be discussing Leopard on G3’s.
If you want to discuss this project (as well as Snow Leopard on PowerPC Macs, which covers the 2008 WWDC build as well as build 10a190), you can chat on the joint Discord here: Mythical OSX on PowerPC Mac
This thread has guides and discussions about this topic.
*At this time, Apple did not change to Xar on package contents until the first beta that actually looks like Leopard. It’s basically Tiger with backups and new features. So don’t worry about DarwinPorts and Xar.*
1 First step: Download the first beta build of Leopard (9A241 to 9A303) here.
Extract it.
(MAKE AN IMAGE OF YOUR LEOPARD BETA and burn to Dual Layer DVD or USB FLASH)
2 Step two: Inside the Leopard build, go to installation inside system. Then look for and then find the file named OSinstall.mpkg.
Open with TextEdit and delete OSmodelCheck.
Next, change hwbeSupportedMachines to the model identifier of the Mac you are installing it on.
Delete the BadMachines.
*I used part of @suneohair guide on this. Credit to them for this part* Ok, here are the instructions: In this line below, change the return false to return “true” to install on a G3. No quotes. Here is the large line below: var minRam = 512;
function checkSupportedMachine(machineType){
// Fail on G3
if (1 != system.sysctl('hw.vectorunit') ) {
return false;
}
var badMachines = ['MacBook3,1','iMac','PowerBook1,1','PowerBook2,1', 'AAPL,Gossamer', 'AAPL,PowerMac G3', 'AAPL,PowerBook1998', 'AAPL,PowerBook1999'];
if(machineType){
var length = badMachines.length;
// Fail if any of the compatible values match the list of badMachines
for( var j = 0; j < length; j++ ){
if(machineType == badMachines[j]){
return false;
}
