n3h3bkau Posted September 6, 2005 Share Posted September 6, 2005 I was playing around today and relized how many games I had back from my old PowerPC 6400/200 days, Master of Orion 2, Total Annihilation, Civilization, etc. So, any chance Classic could be ported?

CapAmerica Posted September 6, 2005 Share Posted September 6, 2005 Classic I think is all up to Apple. Tiger itself did not ship with Classic mode on by default and it didn't ship with a copy of OS9. It is posable that Apple maybe finally killing off Classic mode. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyrana Posted September 6, 2005 Share Posted September 6, 2005 No, it won't be ported. There are some Mac OS emulators, but I don't think any of them even support OS 9. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iLux Posted September 6, 2005 Share Posted September 6, 2005 Mac-On-Mac works on Rosetta and it's an emulator of MacOS PPC and Mac OS X up to 10.1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeathChill Posted September 6, 2005 Share Posted September 6, 2005 There's really no need for Apple to support Classic anymore. It's an old dead OS at this point and there's REALLY no point in continuing to make it as they want everyone to move forward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blahsucks Posted September 6, 2005 Share Posted September 6, 2005 Many older games (EDUCATIONAL apps are big) run on Classic, not to mention Nisus Writer. On the other hand, those same Classic games that worked on Windows 3.1 are going to die anyway once 64-bit Windows comes around. I have heard of a Basilisk Emu port, but haven't checked it out yet.

DeathChill Posted September 7, 2005 Share Posted September 7, 2005 So does that mean I can install via my Classic discs that came with my Mini? EDIT: In Mac-On-Mac that is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EDIT: In Mac-On-Mac that is. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> But there's not already a network interface (alpha limitation) Can someone try to install Classic wich is in the installation CDs, to see if it xorks on Rosetta ?

macgirl Posted September 7, 2005 Share Posted September 7, 2005 Does PearPC support OS9? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jtle Posted September 8, 2005 Share Posted September 8, 2005 Does PearPC support OS9? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> No, since OpenFirmware is not in PearPC yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sadly it doesn't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JackHair Posted October 12, 2006 Share Posted October 12, 2006 There's a version of SheepShaver that should work on OSx86 http://www.gibix.net/dokuwiki/en:projects:sheepshaver It runs MacOS 7.5.2 thru MacOS 9.0.4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A Nonny Moose Posted October 12, 2006 Share Posted October 12, 2006 Classic is dead on an Intel Mac. You can try SheepShaver and see if it works there, but you're limited in the Mac OS to 9.1 (I think). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
