The VGA adapter I use is of the style of "the leftmost one above". With switches 1, 4, 6, 7, and 9 in the ON position, my IIci has worked well with every monitor I have tried, including several Dell UltraSharp models and a ViewSonic VG720. I do have a Dell UltraSharp 2001FP that was mentioned...

Nice, I'm a heavy ProtoWeb user but I had never heard of WarpStream until now!

I read through the notes on the Garden regarding what is changed from vanilla 10.4.11, and to be honest it seems to basically be a package of several already-well-known tweaks wrapped up in heavy marketing. I plan to continue manually making the tweaks I prefer myself, but for someone new to...

All this dual G5 talk makes me want to take another shot at fixing my dual 2.0 :) I've tried swapping the logic board, GPU, RAM, and PSU, and it shows absolutely no signs of life (no LEDs, nothing). I wonder if I also have a CPU issue...

I use this IDE to SATA converter on my G4 Sawtooth with an SSD and it boots 8.6, 9.2.2, and OS X without fuss :)

I've released a pretty substantial update to Message Bridge, timed for use during this year's PPC Challenge! Here's the improvements: URLs in messages are now displayed as clickable links (except on the 'lite' client) Image attachments are resized to a thumbnail on the modern Mac, which makes...

Oooh, this is super useful! I’d love to test it out.

Mac OS X hides OS 9 from Startup Disk if the machine's "compatible" property in Open Firmware is set to "MacRISC3" (which it is set to on all machines that are "X only.") Presumably this is to prevent confusion after installing a system folder for Classic. You can change the "compatible"...

Another happy recap customer :)

New: Added a JavaScript-free "lite" version that allows accessing iMessage/SMS from very old browsers and text-based browsers. Who needs a phone when you have a Macintosh SE? :)

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...
