I recently acquired a iMac G4 800mhz (lamp design) and I love it :)

I installed a few console emulators but Emulator Enhancer is needed to have controller support. Have you come across an alternative solution, as I assume the serial number cannot be purchased anymore?

Also, is there a way to use a Xbox 360 or any other recent USB controller for console on that system?

Thanks!
 
Unfortunately to get full functionality including Joystick support you need the serial number, any thoughts or alternatives?
 
Emulator Enhancer 3.1 serial numbers are still available to purchase today. The latest release is fully compatible with current macOS and native on Apple Silicon.

Emulator Enhancer 1.x, 2.x, and 3.0 can no longer be licensed due to the closure of eSellerate. For avoidance of doubt, that means that even if you do have a serial number it won’t help you, as there is no way to enter it. There is no workaround for this that I’m aware of.

I’m not a regular here so please direct any follow ups to me via https://www.bannister.org/email/.

Not certain if this is the right place to ask, but how would I get Tiger to run on my Core Solo Mac mini? I can't seem to find a install disc for it anywhere online, and any Tiger disc I've tried won't work (even if it was for Intel, I assume due to model locking).

There is a Tiger image on the Garden you could try -> https://macintoshgarden.org/apps/mac-os-x-intel-microprocessor
Tiger Server also had a Universal release -> http://macintoshgarden.org/apps/mac-os-server-104

We also have a forum for your kind of Mac

Is it too slow for 10.6? Or you need to test smth?
