    2026 PowerPC Challenge, is it happening?

    I certainly hope so after all it's been put through just to get to you!

    Last thing you did with your G5?

    Jealous of y'all with G5s, but love seeing the continued usage! The G5 I used in high school is likely no more as it probably made its way to DRMO when they decided to get rid of it. On the hunt for my own now.

    2026 PowerPC Challenge, is it happening?

    Got it working! Also posting this reply via the retro side from the G3. Crazy, in an awesome way.

    2026 PowerPC Challenge, is it happening?

    Currently attempting to get Discord Lite to work on the G3, gotta dig up my throwaway account as I don't want to risk my main.

    Hacking the Kodak Reels 8mm Film Digitizer (New Thread)

    As someone who scans with a Canon R5 and a Minolta Macro 50/3.5 on Minolta bellows and just happens to have a Kodak Eight Model 25 that hasn't been used yet (by me personally), this is an awesome project! I develop color and B&W at home, so that's not a concern, I've just not gotten around to...

    2026 PowerPC Challenge, is it happening?

    Awesome, thanks! I just might have some small fans kicking around somewhere. Currently browsing ebay for a 1 GB memory kit as well. I've got my son playing around with it running Kid Works 2, something I remember playing with as a kid in elementary school, so it's super awesome to get him into...

    2026 PowerPC Challenge, is it happening?

    I would love to get some better cooling in the G3 and maybe push the envelope back to 700 MHz, but I'm also wondering if it makes more sense just to get a board with the 700 MHz chip on it already and go for 850/800. Getting rid of the HDD was a huge drop in heat output overall, but not enough...

    EndeavourOS (Arch) on 2011 MacBook Pro

    To start things off, this 2011 has been my daily driver since 2011 when I bought it to upgrade from the lower-end 2010 I purchased the year before. It had all the bells and whistles plus the early Retina display. The hard drive itself gave out about two years later, so I swapped in one of those...

    Getting An Old MacBook Air & Installing Linux (Ubuntu? Mint?). Any Advice?

    I've got a 2011 MacBook Pro with a 2012 MBP logic board in it as my original GPU was dying. I've not run MacOS on it in quite some time; in fact, right now I'm running EndeavourOS (I like Arch, but going through installing Arch on this like I have in the past is a pain with getting all the...

    2026 PowerPC Challenge, is it happening?

    I actually just finished both the original and Brood War campaigns! I patched the game as far as I could to 1.15.1, but unfortunately Blizzard did not make 1.15.2 for OS9 which would have allowed me to play without the discs as well. I suppose I could try running it on 10.4.11, but when I first...

    2026 PowerPC Challenge, is it happening?

    New here, but jumping in on this! I recently picked up a late-model G3 iMac from a friend with the 500 MHz chip. I remember using these back in high school, so first order of business was an overclock. Got it to 700 MHz but couldn’t keep it stable. Dropped it back down to 600 MHz to be safe. I...
