    Tutorial: Streaming Youtube (or any video content) to PowerPC Macs

    I updated the tutorial to fix the main shortcoming before, which was a bug in FFMPEG when capturing from AVFoundation. Now I use a Linux VM to do the FFMPEG streaming. It is much better now because the Audio is full quality 192K AAC 44,100Hz. https://github.com/jeffreybergier/Retro-Stream-Tutorial

    @joevt thanks for the pointers! As I said I have never done this. Good to know Hopper will not help me :)

    Keychain and OS 9.1

    Sorry, I don't have much experience with OS9. But in OS X, the keychain automatically unlocks when you log in IF the login keychain has the same password as your user account. To me it sounds like the password you think your keychain has is wrong, but it perhaps matches your login password. You...

    Software Update Server Mirrors

    That client and server works differently, so no. However if I get time, I want to try to reverse engineer the payloads that go back and forth so I can try to rebuild them. But as there are no copies of the server responses online (that I can find), it will be hard. I think I will need to...

    Software Update Server Mirrors

    An update here! It works!!! If you didn't know, Apple shut off the Software Update Servers for Mac OS X 10.0 through 10.3. Luckily the servers for 10.4 and above still work. But I am worried those may be shut off as part of the TLS Apocalypse. For that reason, this week I went through the...

    Software Update Server Mirrors

    An update here. I got 10.6 Server running and it turns out that the file these Software Update Server instances connect to on Apple's servers now returns a 404... so Software Update Server no longer works :-/ I guess I will have to try that reposado project I linked above :-/

    Software Update Server Mirrors

    Yeah. I suppose you are right. No one has done this out of fear of legal problems. But Apple always provided software update server with Mac OS X server so companies could host updates for their own Macs. Not to say that it’s legal to host these files. It is most likely probably not allowed by...

    Software Update Server Mirrors

    I think its amazing that Apple's Software Update servers for Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger and 10.5 Leopard are still up and running but unfortunately, they are no longer going for 10.3, 10.2, 10.1, etc. And while it is possible to just run the Combo Update for your version of Mac OS X and get mostly up...

    SSD solution for iMac G4 17" (1.25 GHz)

    I'm glad you got it working! I also struggled with this. I even thought I went to the "easy" and expensive route by buying the SSD from MacSales.com. I thought it must be an actual IDE SSD, but no, it turned out to be a regular SSD with one of these adapters. I ended up spending several hours...

    Tutorial: Streaming Youtube (or any video content) to PowerPC Macs

    thanks for taking a look! That sounds like a fun project. Does the Centris AV have dedicated hardware to handle the AV components?

    Tutorial: Streaming Youtube (or any video content) to PowerPC Macs

    Hi there, I'm Jeff and I'm a long time lurker and first time poster. When I was in High School, I always wanted an iMac G4 but I could never get one. Well recently, I changed that and went down the retro Mac road. I got myself a 1GHz 17" model and I absolutely love it. I put in an SSD and got...
