Dual boot is incredibly easy, it's not even funny. Your best bet for playing modern stuff is an older version of VLC that will run on early OS X (like 10.4).

That’s the Control Strip. Nice score in general. For video game emulation in that era do early OS X, visit bannister.org, Richard Bannister’s site. He has ports of tons of emulators still hosted on his site.

What’s installed on there now?

Massive score and win there. Let’s see them!

Office 98 is also a reasonable choice if you lean in that direction.

I happen to like them, but I know what you mean. SNES to USB adapters do exist (I have one). The one I have was discontinued some years ago. I am sure you can still find some on Amazon. As for the extra RAM, I had 512 MB in my iMac G4 of the era, and it was more than enough for the OS, video...

One simple answer for the controller: get a Gravis GamePad Pro. Great for the era of machine. Tons on eBay. If I were you, I'd stick with the 1 GHz if you really want to run OS 9 natively. 1.25 isn't going to get you much more.

So I’ll give you a little more background: it’s running 10.14 I believe, kept that way as it was the last system to allow AFP shares. The RAID is connected via TB and appears as just another HD. The drive needs to be shared via the Mac Mini, as it is used to file sharing between modern Macs, as...

Even though it is Wednesday?

Somewhat branching from my "Don't know Jack" about Pi3 thread, I now have gotten at least on piece of the puzzle down: I have used the Pi with MacIPRPi to successfully set up CUPS to share my laser printer. Works very well, and that was at least 1/2 of the puzzle. The other half is: - Figuring...

Just one question: No way for this to support 7.x? I keep 7.6 on my PT Pro because there are some games that run better under it than 8 or 9.

Why in the world would they want it through the serial port to start?

I thought OF only became a thing with new world ROMs/ OS X?

This is customizable I assume?

This is…absolutely one of the greatest things I’ve seen in years. My kids constantly ask me why a game won’t work (e.g. screen isn’t set for 256 colors, everything is “small” because the resolution isn’t 640x480), so this is absolutely amazing! Hopefully this will work on my PT Pro with G3 card!
