Wow! A blast from the past and for the longest time, I wanted to try this editor but couldn't get it to install back in the early 2000's. Now, I'll give it try on my Powerbook G4 to see how well it performs.
Got a tip for us?

It is very basic, but it works (tested on 10.6 ppc).

I gave ani-cli a try and it seems to work but the video plays slow as expected since it's using MPV but will try it with Mplayer to see if it works better.Anyone interested to try a new anime streaming app (ani-cli):

Not as cool as above, but I compiled mesa-demos 8.5.0 with freeglut from macports! (this enables a lot more demos, need X server). Many can print fps and pretend to be benchmark!
Code:
LDFLAGS=-L/opt/local/lib CPPFLAGS=-I/opt/local/include/ ./configure --enable-autotools --with-glut=/opt/local/lib/Andrew-R

thanks, for me as relative novice to macports this kind of help is valuable (I use macports on my accidently hackintoshed laptop, but for now mostly in frozen-in-time mode)
I also found runtime libevent disable switch for links :
Code:
alias links=links\ -no-libeventso now it works on 10.5 🙂
What was up with libevent? I recall you mentioned it but don’t remember what was the error.
Upd. N/m, I checked that.
Upd2. Fixed building against libev, looks like that works now. See: https://github.com/macos-powerpc/powerpc-ports/commit/379609a43c65aedde3294f5bf726ab6e5bdbf773

Tested QEMU emulator version 2.3.1 with pre-installed Windows XP 😛
Best line was
Not sure if any usb (OHCI, UHCI) works normally here - I got some very long boot times if I add it
adding network card ne2k_pci seems to be more harmless, but not sure if it ever worked - Explorer crashed 😀
Tested Bochs git a bit, OHCI controller there seems to work better than UHCI ? (on Win98SE)
github.com
I think I left "What you did with PowerpC today?" thread alone because my tests relatively mundane ?
Bochs and qemu definitely not new software, but making them work reliably on OSX PPC is not as trivial as on x86 Linux, it seems!
Edit: networks seems to work, too, just anything using mshtml, even just for text file from ftp crashes??
Edit 2: even stranger, my self-compiled qemu 2.2.0 does NOT have weird delay, plays direct music test, and iexplorer does not crash!
May be 2.3.1 had regression, or just miscompiled ?
