Hi all, I read many times on the internet that you can swap the passive matrix LCD in the 190cs with an active matrix LCD from a 5300c. Well I was lucky enough to find a new old stock LCD screen for a 5300c. I fitted it inside my 190cs bezel no problem. But the machine only shows white, I can...

Hey people, Just wondering if anyone has performance tips for MacGlide. I'm running Unreal / Deus Ex in Tiger via Classic mode & MacGlide. System is a 1.2Ghz G4 with Nvidia 6200 256mb. It works but the FPS is rather low, around 25-40fps in 1024x768. It doesn't make much sense to me, the...

Os9 emulation and games work fine in Tiger, but Os9 itself runs in software mode.

(Moderators please could you delete all the images past the 'Thank you' at the end, I don't know why but it throws every single image in a row there, I tried deleting them but they keep coming back.) I've been working on a G4 Cube lately and I have finally finished the project! Here are some...

Hiyas, I'm having trouble finding a PPC compatible rom for the following card: Geforce 3 / PCB: 180-10050-0100-C02 ; Model P50 I'm not 100% sure whether it is the original Gf3 or a Ti-500. I know I can get the original ppc bios here: http://themacelite.wikidot.com/wikidownloads2 Just...

Cheers thank you very much, this worked!

Hi guys, I recently contacted the author of Snak (IRC client for 68k macs) Because the last version to work on 68k was v3.2.1, but was not available online. Macgardens version was incorrect when extracted, same for macrepo. The kind author sent me v3.2.1 zipped. I tried extracting the zip on my...

1. Massive improvement, I also put arctic silver 5 on the CPU & oiled the fan. Before I did this the fan was really noisy/grindy and the laptop would randomly shutdown from overheating. 2. I can't really measure this as I don't have a good battery, the one I have barely holds any charge...

Yeah it is much brighter and the colours are a lot nicer.

The LCD was quite expensive to be honest. About 100 USD all together after shipping. No issues with compatibility, as it just plugs directly into the same connection as the old display the geforce 5200 just accepts it as it's screen.

Don't worry there is literally no changes or mods to the lid. The only thing you mod is the new LCD. By the way I skipped the part that said to drill new screw holes into the new panel, I didn't need to do it and I thought it was too risky.

Cheers guys, also in the title I mean 12'' :)

Hi all, Just wanted to report I upgraded my LCD panel to a 1400x1050 Res screen. It was quite a difficult process involving a hacksaw but in the end I am very happy with the result. I followed this very detailed guide...

So sorry if this is a silly question! There have been reverse engineered Elite engines and other clone games over the years ported to many different platforms. I had a quick 'google' on the subject but didn't find anything useful. Has there ever been a classic mac version of Elite or Frontier...

ArmourAlley unfortunately I can't put that HDD on the 840av bus as it is a 68 pin LVD drive, the internal bus is 50 pin. The reason the SCSI2SDv6 is reporting such slow speed is because I am forced to use firmware 6.2.5 which is before they implemented large performance increases. Newer...

I wonder if a fractal program optimised for the AV DSP's would blow away a power pc of the same era.

Just wondering about Anubis - I also used this to initialize the disc but for some reason the parition/drive won't mount on boot. I installed the driver, I even went into the partition map and made sure 'auto start' was enabled. Any ideas why it won't auto-mount?

SCSI2SDv6 on internal 840av bus (bottom line) vs IBM 17gb 10k SCSI (Hitachi) on SEIV bus (top line) FYI the SCSI2SDv6 is using a slower 6.2.5 firmware, as newer firmware cause corruption on write at the moment (is being fixed)

Yeah that software seems to be PPC only (I tested it) Thanks for the bezel advice, I will keep my eye out for one. Cheers.

Hi all, I upgraded the 2x speed caddy drive in my 840av with a Plextor PX-40TSi. Working great with a patched Apple driver (https://www.macintoshrepository.org/23007-apple-cd-rom-software-5-3-2-5-4-2-) But of course, the old drive didn't need to be opened as it was a caddy system. Once I put...
