Install macos9

It's actually set up to dual boot macos9 and osx right now. How would I go about doing a fresh install? I wanna get the previous owners stuff off but idk where to get a copy of osx or macos9

wear plaid, fake glasses and drink starbucks while calling non-indie musicians sellouts. Oh and realize you pissed away twice as much money as the hardware is worth.

macintosh garden has everything you'll ever need for OS 9 including all kinds of install media images

would probably just use it on there exclusively desu unless there's some good shit on the OS X partition you can salvage and reuse, pre-10.4 OS X's software base feels really poorly archived especially compared to 9 and before

Pic related? Play Nanonsaur

>Nanosaur
Aww yeah

Dualboot OpenBSD and Mac OS X Tiger, set up Classic, enjoy

>OpenBSD

PowerPC Macs are very well supported and it's a great OS.

it's not all that bad an idea if you're more interested in using it in a server/development role than as a desktop

would probably be faster than tiger + tigerbrew which would run slower than all fuck on a piece of shit like a G3

It's not a bad idea if you are using it as a desktop either. And OpenBSD also runs very well on low end hardware, running headless it consumes ~18MiB RAM and loading X bumps it up to ~45MiB. Even on my PowerBook with its unsupported Nvidia GPU using the software rasterizer is perfectly doable on a 1.5GHz G4

i left a turd in the toilet just floating there if you want to eat my old lunch from earlier, too

I mean, since you seem to think these things are just as good as new.

can that thing even run a modern mac os?

Last version to support PowerPC is Mac OS X 10.5.8 Leopard.

last version to support G3 is 10.4.11 Tiger. 10.3 if you dont have firewire, but there are workarounds for that issue.

Those things are heavy and way old. Not the best CRTs, either. I wouldn't mind having an iMac G4, though.

>tfw i will never have a 20" one of those

I never said otherwise, I was just pointing out that modern OS X uses an entirely different architecture and that the last OS X version to support a PowerPC-era Mac is Leopard.

Are they that rare?

I've got one in front of me right now, just need to find the power cable.

No, just unusual because they were the high end one. Also, i dont want to pay a ton for one. The only 2 on ebay right now are over $200.

I believe a laptop power cable should work just fine.

I know, but none of my laptops' chargers use that cable. At least any of the ones I can find.

$6

I'm not going to buy one when I know I have one.

While I'm the obsessive sort who would insist on having the *right* cable, You might be able to get away with using a 2-prong power cable.

Hello middle school

Muh nostalgia

when I was 7 or 8 I used to play Bugdom on my friends iMac G3

i've forgotten the names of most of the games i played at that age
feels bad, man

>realize you pissed away twice as much money as the hardware is worth.
Hey dumbass actually look at the OP pic

If OP spent twice as much money as it's worth that means he spent $20 for a $10 computer

On a slot load?
Either 10.4 or linux. Actually, just 10.4/OS9 and play games on it.

...

Start sucking dick on a regular schedule would be the next logical step.

you did good user

Kill yourself for being a subhuman itoddler piece of trash.

this desu senpai

Found the samefagging middle schooler

replace the keyboard
it's fucking awful and breaks really easily

might even sell for an okay sum on ebay, those pieces of shit used to be ridiculously overpriced (even for Apple standards)

found the 12 year p;d mactoddler that names himself after epik FTW xDDD hax0r movie characters

ebin

sauce on wallpaper?

OP is back yall. Just to clarify, I am not a mac person at all. I just got this cause muh nostalgia. Also it's hilarious to look at some random dudes browsing history from the 2000's. Literally beanie babies, cheatcc and porn

>pic related

Do the porn links still work?

Whats in the history?

Are old Macs like the G4 and the one that OP has really slow? Or are they okay for their age?

I'm curious.

I'm not sure about G3s but a faster G4 is definitely still usable.

Depends on what you're trying to do. For g3s:

Browsing Sup Forums; bretty good

General web browsing with mobile useragent with javascript turned off; tolerable

Watching youtube; mental & physical pain

Really fucking slow, which is strange because they were advertised to be much faster than a PIII, yet a PIII 600 (384MB RAM) Thinkpad I have can do Youtube at 480p and browse most sites, yet it's a huge struggle on a G4 1.5GHz (1.25GB RAM).

Here's some more history.

There's also a tab where he goes from looking at how to write a cover letter to looking up symptoms of genital warts kek

This thing has a 400mhz cpu but honestly it feels faster than my original raspberry pi model b which has a 700mhz cpu. Idk if that's a good comparison though

NO, BAD user
You're supposed to wipe the machiens when you get them.
Five Sup Forums tabs, max
Youtube through youtube-dl only
As for non media, yeah, it's still fucking nice.

The G3 was without question faster than the PII which is what the ads portrayed. However:

* Nobody has kept web software up to date for OS 9. (Classilla is an admirable effort, but behind the curve none the less.) It's because back porting is much more difficult then it is on Windows where Win32 has existed continually since NT and Win95.

* OS 9 is a cooperative multitasking OS. It takes a lot of work to make something as complex as a browser engine fast and responsive given that constraint.

TenFourFox for PPC OS X runs pretty well on later G4s. And there are solutions for playing videos which work fine on those machines.

No one yet? Install gentoo.

continue jerking off to gay, anime, furry, gay porn

>Watching youtube; mental & physical pain
When I had a G4 as my only computer in the early '10s youtube-dl made all the difference for watching YouTube videos. It still couldn't quite handle 720p but 480p played all right.

>NO, BAD user
Sharing a few history entries for the kicks does little to no harm if you can't trace them back to the previous owner.

>You're supposed to wipe the machiens when you get them.
why? cant be anything important if the previous owner didnt remove it.

It's looking at them that's the problem
Cheeky

this desu

I don't look through computers I get ever since I found nudes of my 50 year old neighbor on her discarded computer

well first off stop posting from your phone.

depends on what you want to do, they aged like shit compared to some of their contemporaries but they're still doable if you're not a middle schooler who only uses their computer for youtube and porn

there's something about their hardware design that made them age less than gracefully compared to their contemporaries, other than being overly sensitive to shitty compilers they were also usually hampered with slower, outdated RAM standards (while a PC133 system was for example still more than fine in 2002, it wasn't very forward-thinking), externally mounted cache and all kinds of other retarded shit they probably shouldn't have been going with in such systems.

>there's something about their hardware design that made them age less than gracefully compared to their contemporaries
Yeah, it's called being from a time moments before hardware accelerated video decoding and being the last of the single core single threaded stuff.
Software now may not be written for multi core, but it assumes you'll have it, and can choke up as much of a core as it wants.

Triboot Mac OS, OS X, and Debian GNU/Linux

Also get yourself tested for HIV.

contemporary PCs didn't have any of that either but they're generally more performant in my experience

my P4 workstations rape the shit out of my dual 1 GHz quicksilver all day long, even my dual 500 MHz Xeon SGI box can take them on

An extra decade of compiler optimization?

mpeg decoder cards have been around since the mid 90's

they weren't very common because there was not as many uses for high quality video playback as there is now

not to mention by the end of the 90's, new machines were powerful enough to do video on the cpu

>Finally fell for the Mac meme. What do?

that's possible but the disparities seem to much just to be that, unless GCC really just was that terrible back in the 2000s

one of these days I should just get some bench boxes set up and test it out myself desu

>secure
>lightweight
>comfy
It's perfect desu.
That and OS 9, perfect combination.

>that's possible but the disparities seem to much just to be that, unless GCC really just was that terrible back in the 2000s
GCC wandered in the wilderness of neglect for a good long while in the mid/late 90s and early 2000s. The GCC of today is a fork that won supremacy.

for sure, but for fuck sake it was Apple's primary compiler since the NeXT era and they were key players in designing and documenting the damn chips it was targeting

and when I really get to thinking about it, that doesn't explain TFF's terrible relative performance on G4 gear either, maybe it's just heavier?

no wonder, you're comparing chips years apart

See: >my P4 workstations rape the shit out of my dual 1 GHz quicksilver all day long,

The G4 was a mildly improved G3. The G3 jumped well ahead of the PII, but the G4 didn't really add anything other than MHz and AltiVec. AltiVec was cool but the vast majority of code did not use it.

Now the G5 was a beast for its time. The problem was IBM could never scale the clock speed up or the TDP down. But at its release it raped everything in the x86 world.

Install Kid Pix, and watch the hours go by.

I used to have a few of those iMac G3s. The first gentoo install I did was on an iMac G3. Took days. Gentoo is a game, right?
