Hey everyone; I'm back for another round. I seem to look into all this every 5 years or so.
https://www.macip.net/macipgg-vm-3-0/ has an old reference for a "software-based localtalk bridge" For software solution see: http://68kmla.org/fo…&t=22036#p21405 - but of course, the old link was never...
Hey Toni_,
I was just about to shoehorn a few games into the existing packages, and then realized that summer has come and gone :) If you've got anything you want me to test, let me know.
Meanwhile, your contact link on the website is dead, as it points to the old 68kmla forum. Might be a...
For your internal dimensions, you'd want this: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/32761500374.html?spm=2114.12010612.0.0.12tQ4N

If such a thing is done, replace the modem port with the Ethernet port, and run MacIPpi on the Pi, for a proper AppleTalk server the others can use to connect to a modern network!
Having opened up a number of 1.42 G4s... you might want to check that your power button connector is not damaged and is solidly connected to the mainboard. I've had a couple of "uhoh" moments when putting everything back together and realizing I forgot to plug that connector back in. I can't...
Don't bother; I've run the same SSD via external FW400 case and internal ATA/100 case. External is notably slower, less than half the speed.
FireWire 400 is 400 Megabits. FireWire 800 (which the G4 Mini doesn't have) is 800 Megabits, and is still slightly slower in moving actual data than...
Yeah; in my case, this is my "Classic application server" so I've got it dedicated to running VNC and AirFoil, so I can spin up old software on a modern system.
If it weren't for the slow data bus, I'd move my server back to my G4 Mini from my CoreDuo Mini as it's so much quieter and less...
I'm going to check the two using my 10.4 install and see if there's a noticeable difference. My use case is similar to yours; TigerVNC 1.7.1 is the last version to support 10.4, so that's what I'll go with. Most of the newer stuff is just to take advantage of faster hardware, although there's...
I haven't dug into it at all yet, but theoretically it should be possible to replace the VNC engine in OS X 10.x PPC (at least for 10.2 through 10.5) with the TigerVNC daemon. This would give us a much more performant, encrypted, and feature-rich VNC server to use, and should still be...
I've used ghidra to disassemble fat binaries -- it's doable, but I haven't seen many useful modules that do anything with the results; we'd have to write those ourselves. I haven't bothered as I use IDAPro, so only use Ghidra when I want to scratch a curiosity itch.
On the plus side, you can...
Also might be useful to move to the Wiki:
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1wB2HnysPp63fezUzfgpk0JX_b7bXvmAg6-Dk7QDyKPY -- mapping of Mac ROMs, what computers they're in, and what OS and hardware config they support.
Hmm... looks like the page re-shuffling broke the link. https://apple.fandom.com/wiki/List_of_Mac_OS_Versions is the appropriate location now. Amazing what a difference in one V will do.
I'd stick to Cat 6/6e cabling (what I have) and then just use a modified PhoneNet adapter to connect to it. The impedance shouldn't be an issue, it's designed to tolerate way greater interference, and you can re-purpose the cabling for many other things (I also run my DC voltage over the PoE...
