Yes I have one, I'll make sure to include it in a future update. It is not beautiful though!

Version 1.4 has been released with some general improvements to gameplay and performance. https://phlogios.itch.io/blokzrave/devlog/717280/gameplay-fixes Stay tuned for more improvements to performance.

Version 1.3.2 should work in Classic Mode on Tiger, give it a try and let me know if it works!

Welcome to the site, I am also new here, and also a game developer. Just saw this thread now. I look forward to trying your pacman game! Compile it for PPC too if you can.

Greetings! I have released a new 3D game for Mac OS 9. https://phlogios.itch.io/blokzrave It is a free tetris-like game with 3D graphics, designed to run on an original iBook or newer. Let me know what you like or hate about it. For the programming nerds out there: the game is written in C++...

Do we know the actual cause of the freeze, and if not, is there a way to find out what exactly is happening at the moment of freezing?

is there anyway to debug these system freezes?

Thank you Joevt and thank you MacJunky for taking the time! I don't understand much about how the PCI stuff works so I'm super impressed by what you are doing. I'm going to be able to test a voodoo2 card in a few days to verify that at least those work on 6500 (and not just on 6400 and TAM). It...

With the ATI Rage 128, multiple drivers work, I have tried every driver version from the oldest to the newest I think. But they all freeze in quake - I have not been able to fix that issue. If anyone here has a 6500 or a TAM, please try running Quake RAVE with a dedicated GPU and let me know if...

The issue with loading extensions was resolved by undoing the patch (zapping PRAM). I did try that version of the driver you linked now, but it does not display an image on my monitor unless I also install the 9200 firmware upgrade (rom extender) from gona.mactar.hu

I have tested installing MacBugs but it does not help as the system freezes without displaying MacBugs and becomes completely unresponsive so MacBugs cannot be invoked manually. The only thing that the computer responds to is the force reboot key combo.

I created a new thread for my issue: https://68kmla.org/bb/index.php?threads/quake-rave-or-glquake-will-freeze-a-powermac-6500-if-a-dedicated-graphics-card-is-used.44411/ I indeed tested the patch you linked, it was suggested by you in a youtube comment It was a long shot that unfortunately...

Let's try to solve this problem once and for all! PowerMac 6500 has a bug that causes a total system freeze if you try to run Quake RAVE, GLQuake or Hexen II for a few seconds. The freeze always happens at different times, but it *always happens* eventually. This bug has been confirmed by me and...

Thank you. Zapping the PRAM solved the issue with the ethernet card, and probably the extension problem as well but I don't know because I don't have radeon drivers on my fresh install. Did anyone ever solve the problem of the PowerMac 6500 not being able to run 3D games for more than 30 seconds...

Apologies for the silly question, but I tried running the firmware hack thing posted by @Phipli and now I have to undo it - how do I do that? After running the hack, my PowerMac 6500 can't load extensions if a monitor isn't connected to the Rage 2 card, and with a fresh new install of OS 9.1 it...
