Yeah, that's quite a popular mod - I just hope that no working Cube met its fate for it.

What have you done with a PowerPC today?

Getting very off topic at this point, but technically it’s still related to PPC Macs.
AFAIK, you can use cdrdao to write Sega CD, Sega CD 32X, PSX, and Sega Saturn Games. And with my Dreamcast CDI Burner app you can burn Dreamcast games.
What other company has struck out every single time on copy protection other then Sega?
Sega CD/Sega CD 32X - No copy protection at all (to be fair it was released in ‘91), have heard stories PPC Macs can burn games no problem.
Sega Saturn - First revisions have a very easy swap trick. The only other revision still has a single swap method but it’s a bit different timing.
Sega Dreamcast - MIL-CD, do I need to say more?
To this day there is no self boot PS X method like on the Dreamcast, but to be fair this isn’t one either on the Saturn. Weirdly enough though their is one for the PS2 released very recently... Who would’ve thought buggy DVD code would result in this, almost the same thing that happened with MIL-CD in the Dreamcast!
There is an argument that none of this was relevant till after they discontinued the Dreamcast which is real IMO, but in 2021...
Lately I’ve been all about exploiting real hardware with ‘fake’ games! It’s the way more fun the emulation IMO.

I also used LWK to access Macrumors on my PB G4 to have the threat - tenfourfox is no more to be removed.
Overclocked my PowerLogix dual G4 upgrade from 1.2 GHz to 1.3 GHz. It's in a PowerMac G4 Gigabit. Now attempting to set up my Macports environment to build TenFourFox on Tiger.
There is a web browser. It's in the applications folder in the OWB folder.
YOUR SHIFT KEY IS STUCK!

Yes, thank you for telling me - I have a brand new black Apple Pro keyboard on order - shift key broken on white one. Typing this on my iPhone 7YOUR SHIFT KEY IS STUCK!
I ran a C program on my G5 that was compiled and linked with LLVM 7.1.0 + cctools 836 linker on my Linux machine. Took a bit of effort to get this going in 2021, but now it works.
Ok, so I read a lot about WRP for use with browsing the old web using OS 9 and older browsers on the Mac.. the concept is nice, but I feel it’s not the greatest experience. Are there other ways older OS X and OS 9 browsers can browse the web other than WRP ? Classila has the ability to handle most of the modern web, if we can re-work it to render properly. Strange, a few years ago Wikipedia loaded on OS 9 IE 5.1.7, opera 9, Netscape and Classila. Now it doesn’t work at all, however because I messed up the certs by mistake, maybe there is a chance once I re-install Classila.
finished the Radeon 9600 Pro upgrade in my G4 MDD

Because Links2 is bang up to date and doesn't require Macports
Nice, I have to try links2, but again only downside is no graphics, but for reading just news, I guess it’s ok.
Links2 does feature graphics but not when it's run through Terminal.
My Links2 port is a portable app. When launched you have the option of using a text only mode through terminal or a graphics mode which uses X11 and supports many gif/image formats and mouse usage.
