Os 9.2.2 with upgrade CPU?

[Skaredmask]

I have a pwerforce47 that states that it is 100% Os 9.2 compatible. After removal the CPU plugin extension. However When I try to play a OS9 game the game doesn't load with a error cause of the Cpu Plugin isn't there. Dose anyone have a work around this?

Thanks.

Why remove the CPU extension?

 

[eyoungren]

^^^^ Yeah, that's kind of self defeating isn't it?

I removed the engine to my car! Why won't it start?!

The manual said to or OS.9 dosent boot and freezes when it gets to that extension.

from the manual:
"Before installing your card, if you plan to use OS9 (actually boot from OS 9, as opposed to running Classic in
OS X) you must remove the CPU Plugins file from the “/System Folder/Extensions/Multiprocessing/” folder
after booting using the original CPU".

Did you enable to OS 9 compatibility mode in the firmware patch thing as well as install CPU Director in OS 9?

Yes I have. Os9.2 boots up properly. Minus the Cpu plugin part.

It's possible that the game isn't compatible with the Powerlogix upgrade.

It's the game's in general. I can't load any of them cuase of a open GL error thats associated with the cpu plugin.

I know that 9700 pro dosent have support under OS9 and I can swap it out for my Geforce 4Ti 4800. Since This mac is only running osx right now I'm using the 9700.


I have the same results on a QS that I have when this extension is deleted.

I got the problem, that I couldn't start into OS 9. Sonnet told me I have to delete the file you cited the direction to. Did not work.

Then I learned I had to use 9.2.2 and it has to be the one from the exact PowerMac G4 (not a copied iMac G3 Os 9.2.2). After having this done, the OS would load, but it would freeze. I then discovered it was the flashed graphics card, which had worked with the stock apple CPU under 9.1 perfectly.

What card do you have in there and is it the OS 9 install, that belongs to the G4?

 

[Skaredmask]

Yes it the official Geforce 4 that apple made. That I can swap out anytime. it's in my QS right now because I droped the hole OS9 Idea for awhile but after reading some more it should work.

I'm guessing that it has to do with how OpenGL uses the CPU plugin extension. also it noted in the manual that all programs that uses this extension Norton ect need there extension deleted too.
