classic environment on a macbook...

[Kristofer]

I know. It doesn't work.
But I have this old game I want to install on my macbook and when I go to run it , it gives me the old "not supported on this system" thing. But is it really impossible to run programs on a macbook that require the classic environment?? It seems like there must be a way around it...

The reason you can't run classic now is the same reason you couldn't run windows before, wrong chip. There may be a complicated solution out there, but I tend to doubt it, and even if it worked I doubt it would be stable enough to play even a simple game.

Sorry.

Your only chance for running classic programs on intel is sheepshaver ( http://sheepshaver.cebix.net/ ).

However you will need a classic mac rom and a copy of a classic OS to install too.

Wow, it makes sense but is almost hard to believe that it is not possible to run os 9 on a macbook. It is a mac!
