CthulhuOSX Posted November 18, 2005 Share Posted November 18, 2005 Hello everyone I'm not if this has already been posted, just wanted to share this info with this community. As many have noticed, Flash based webpages are a pain in the butt for Safari, Shiira, etc . I just installed Netscape ver. 7.2 trying to watch a video from Yahoo, but alas, I couldn't play the video. But to my surprise, I was able to open webpages containing Flash animation. No crashes at the moment and running at a decent speed. It is not a special port of Netscape as far as I know. I know there are other options like Firefox, but as I mentioned before, I discovered this by accident and is working fine, so I thought it would be good to share it with you. Cheers. ps. Maxxuss you rock man!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eggman Posted November 18, 2005 Share Posted November 18, 2005 You're using PPC Netscape and PPC Flash. Intel Flash is only compatible with Intel Safari and nothing else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CthulhuOSX Posted November 18, 2005 Author Share Posted November 18, 2005 Whenever I run Safari or Shiira using Rosetta, my computer shows a gray screen and reboots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eggman Posted November 18, 2005 Share Posted November 18, 2005 I'm using Windows now. Tell me, when you right-click on Netscape and choose "Get Info," does it say "Application" or "Application (PowerPC)"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
