Ohhh yeah, with the proper display cable it has come to life.

I bought it from a really old apple parts supplier in the UK, they weren't even sure if they still had it when I called but it was still listed on their inventory. Luckily they did. Got the new cable arriving tomorrow, I'll let you know the results. I think it should be ok as the display wakes...

No it was definitely brand new, even had all the nice plastic peel all over. What I've found is that the display ribbon connector is slightly different for each type of LCD they used, so I've ordered a spare part for exactly this 5300c display. We will see.

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?
