Maybe its cheating, but lately I iMessage the YouTube link to myself and open it with PPC Media Center.

Released an update today that really improves performance on slower machines (among other fixes). Works well on Mac OS 8.6 using iCab 3.0.5 Classic :)

Since I am a heavy user of the Messages app on my modern Macs for iMessage and SMS, I wanted a solution that allowed me to send and receive messages from friends and family while using my retro hardware. I found a few different solutions for this while perusing the web, but nothing I found...

Awesome, this has codec support for viewing videos sent via iMessage!

Agreed, after one week I am still excited to sit down at my PPC each day. The modern web can be a real drain, and it's nice to avoid a lot of it! I've been working on attachment and image support for Message Bridge, so here I am enjoying a @Branchus livestream while testing out sending a photo...

Nice, that works! Definitely a big difference in CPU usage though-- the CPU is pegged while playing in InterTube, whereas ffplay uses about 40% for 480p. Ah yeah, you'll want to sign in before using the script. Typing in the chat input field is a bit slow, so I usually enter the text in another...

Been playing some UT2004, and am now watching a Mac84 live stream :) I found that I could not watch YouTube live streams in TenFiveTube, so for that I am using PPCMC. I also wrote a handy AppleScript (which borrows some code from PPCMC) that opens the YouTube live chat in a browser. I've...

I will say I have a flashed Radeon 7000 in my Sawtooth and havent seen any of the problems you have mentioned, but its a 32mb AGP card, so not quite the same as yours.

Haven't seen any others post their plans, so I'll bite :) I spent a good chunk of yesterday planning and getting things set up for the next couple weeks. For my primary computing needs during the PowerPC Challenge, I’m using a Power Mac G5 1.8 GHz (PowerMac7,2). It’s been upgraded with 2 GB RAM...

Is the photo of the commands you ran? If so: you'll want to run the commands again and on line 4, instead of literally putting START, use 409640 and instead of SIZE, use 77468336

You can use TenFourFox Intel, but the RAM limitations make it nearly unusable--it loves to crash. I haven't tried openemu on mine, would love to hear how it works for you!

I haven't (yet) added support for attachments, but you can send text and emoji (I use the Symbola font for emoji on Leopard).

One issue I had last year was the inability to use iMessage and SMS properly from my PowerPC Macs, since I am a heavy user of the Messages app on my modern Macs. I found a few different solutions for this, but nothing I found worked quite the way I wanted--so I took matters into my own hands! I...

I had a great time last year, excited to go back again this year!

Very cool seeing this on 512 MB! I'm sure it is a heck of a lot more usable. While I didn't notice an improvement with the 10.5.8 kernel on 256 MB, I'll try some ideas I have to fix audio and upload the result! Thanks for bringing this up. There isn't a proper composite output, but if you set...

I've uploaded a new "v2" 10.5.8 image to the download locations linked in the original post. It contains the following improvements over the original images: Disabled Spotlight, Software Update, and iOS syncing to save RAM and improve performance Fixed display of model identifier and memory...

I've uploaded the Tiger and Leopard images to Macintosh Garden, for faster downloading: https://macintoshgarden.org/apps/mac-os-x-apple-tv-1st-generation

There's a nice boost with 10.6.8 :) https://browser.geekbench.com/geekbench2/2728474

Snow Leopard on the Apple TV I've uploaded two Snow Leopard images to the link in the first post, one for 10.6.3 and one for 10.6.8. The reason for two images will be explained below. Running Snow Leopard introduces some problems, notably: The time is blank. As in, there is no time. When...
