...hello?
Hey. I noticed it was a bit quiet here, as well
So, anything going on?
im attempting to download Mac OS 9 to run in a VirtualBox machine
Nice. I have an older laptop running that
I'll have my PowerMac with OS9 soon hopefully.
Dustii: I totally read your first post in Simon's voice from Yogscast.
:)
I think most of us have been transfixed by election matters recently. Hence the low amount of forum activity. ^^;
True that, Bella
@Dustii: Very nice ^^
Since I notice you're running Netscape in your OS9 box, you might be interested in trying Classilla (http://www.floodgap.com/software/classilla/). It's the browser I often suggest to people using OS9, since it's quite nice :3
i dont really plan on using it for web. even if i wanted to, i havent found a way to get sheepsaver to allow it to access my internet.
The image of OS9 i got came with Netscape... and IE5, and AppleWorks, & Quick Time & iTunes & A-Dock, and a slew of other stuff.
Ah. Still quite nice, though; all the assorted software it came with :3
Got any software suggestions?
Aside from some games, not really; you have all the basics down it looks like :3
what games?
There are several, but some that I like are:
- Diablo (Dungeon crawler \ hack 'n' slash. This series seems to be popular among site staff)
- Marathon (First installment in a trilogy of FPSes. Created by the developer that went on to create Halo)
- Nanosaur (A 3rd-person shooter that was typically bundled with iMacs from the late '90s. Enjoyable)
hmmm.. good suggestions, i guess...
know of any good casual games (simulation, puzzle, etc...)?
EDIT: I was Googling games, and i learned that the Wii game Secret of Monkey Island was originally an old Mac game!
my bad. the Wii game was a sequel. still cool though.
Yep :3
As for more casual stuff, there was a card game collection I loved, but I can't remember what the name was. It had something like 100 different card games, including solitaire
Guys, honestly, blogging/IM-style 1 on 1 go in their respective corners of the web, and we have Topicless for random chatter.
No blogging allowed.
Nejin's got a point. I'd suggest instant messaging, or possibly the IRC. :)
Once again the board seems slow... Did everyone just get busy? *sees tumbleweed blow across OSC*
It seems only a few topics are really getting any attention...
Mac OS 9 run only on PowerPC processors. Seem me strange it runs on virtual machines on IntelX86... There is still no valid ppc emulator...
@Dustii: It seems everyone is busy with work or school right now :\

Its not virtual machine. SheepShaver emulates the Mac OS hardware. (Its like a task specific PPC emulator, being as it only supports Mac OS classic OSes.)
...we really should move this to another topic, being as earlier here 2 people noted that this is highly off topic and more of random chatter.
@PentiumMMX guess your right. :/ wish there was more OStan discussion going on...
