It is an virtual environment to contain a "sandboxed" OS9, but it runs natively with the same speed as if it was executed outside OSX, the cpu used is the "real one, your G3 or G4 ", it just runs isolated in OSX, so if it crashes OSX is not affected. "Classic" cannot be run on any IntelMac, because Mac OS 9 is only for PPC Cpus, it cannot run on x86 Hardware. Or alternatevly macs that cannot boot natively into OS 9 but have a OS9 Systemfolder dropped into the OSX ' root folder ( again : only powerPC Macs ). "Classic" is done by either having a second partition which has OS9.1 - 9.22 installed ( that is Macs that can natively boot into OS9 - macs that show the Startup Disk choice between X or 9 ) "Classic" is only available on PowerPC based Macintoshes running OSX 10.0 - 10.4.10 ( current) So, any of you running Leopard on PPC, what happens when you try to install or open an OS 9 app? One more reason not to go for Leopard on PPC, better get a new C2D Mac and keep Tiger on the G4 mini.Īs for the suggested +little research+, I wouldn't take Apple's official announcements for it, I'd rather rely on PPC Leopard users experience. I'll just keep things as they are now, it's working beautifully. ![]() ![]() As Tiger never asked me to install "Classic" (I remember it did when I first got this computer), I thought this could be some new trick of Tiger 10 that could have been made for Leopard too. If you go to the PreferencePanes folder in your System, and open Classsic.prefPane, it will now appear in your System Preferences.Ĭlassic.PrefPane is in my System folder. The reason you're probably not seeing classic load now is because the OS9 startup screen defaults to not show, which you can't change now because your classic preference pane is not showing. There is no magical dust that will change this either. I would do a little research before posting statements on here that are known to be false. PS: have never tried using "Classic" peripherals, though. Give it a try.* You might end up running your "Classic" apps just as smooth as I am running mine on Tiger 10.4.10. *Maybe the answer for your question is NOT a "No". Too bad they didn't pack a DVD burner instead of the DVD/CD-RW Combo. These little "surprises" from Apple have been going on since I got my last Mac before Christmas, 2005: I bought a Mac mini that advertised as G4 1.42Ghz, 32Mb dedicated video RAM and Bluetooth 1.1, and I got 1.5Ghz processor with 64Mb video RAM and Bluetooth 2.0. ![]() I suppose it's something built in the "Tiger 10" PPC Combo Update. I don't recall being asked for anything relating to Classic during the OS nor the combo update installs. SURPRISE: my "Classic" applications install and run like they were OS X native applications!!!!!!!! How did this happen? No clue. I noticed that the "Classic/OS 9" icon on System Prefs was gone, but then. So after installing Tiger 10.4.2 from the DVDs I installed the 10.4.10 PPC Combo Update. *Now, check this out*: tired of waiting for the Tiger 10.4.11 update, my system was a mess, I decided to reinstall my Mac mini's original Tiger from the ground up last week. Quick question: Will Leopard run Mac Classic on a PPC?
