The Tiger Thread (Mac OS X 10.4)

[gustar]

I recently acquired a iMac G4 800mhz (lamp design) and I love it

I installed a few console emulators but Emulator Enhancer is needed to have controller support. Have you come across an alternative solution, as I assume the serial number cannot be purchased anymore?

Also, is there a way to use a Xbox 360 or any other recent USB controller for console on that system?

Thanks!

It’s shareware. So if you don’t mind a nag screen, it’ll still work fine.

Unfortunately to get full functionality including Joystick support you need the serial number, any thoughts or alternatives?

Emulator Enhancer 3.1 serial numbers are still available to purchase today. The latest release is fully compatible with current macOS and native on Apple Silicon.

Emulator Enhancer 1.x, 2.x, and 3.0 can no longer be licensed due to the closure of eSellerate. For avoidance of doubt, that means that even if you do have a serial number it won’t help you, as there is no way to enter it. There is no workaround for this that I’m aware of.

I’m not a regular here so please direct any follow ups to me via https://www.bannister.org/email/.

Not certain if this is the right place to ask, but how would I get Tiger to run on my Core Solo Mac mini? I can't seem to find a install disc for it anywhere online, and any Tiger disc I've tried won't work (even if it was for Intel, I assume due to model locking).

Is it too slow for 10.6? Or you need to test smth?

Just to mess around with. I've got 10.6 on it.

Apple seems to have removed many of the Tiger updates from the site. I can't even find new links to update this wiki. Luckily, there is a way to download these updates with Software update, and keep the files for archival use (who knew Software update had this feature!). I have for example, been unable to find AirPortExtremeUpdate2008002.pkg anywhere. My plan is to basically have all of the updates and the ACDT dmg for tiger 10.4.10 (basically a universal installer for any mac that can run intel tiger I found on archive.org) and at the very least put them up on the Garden to keep them alive.

It is probably a good idea to do the same for 10.5 and 10.6 updates, to have all PowerPC systems covered. Who knows when someone in Apple gets another great idea to break something for random ppl.

For sure. The best thing to do is install the lowest version you can (10.6.0, etc.) and then just run the Software Update utility (Using either download only or install and keep) as many times until there are no more updates. I just did this from 10.4.10 (my Macbook 2,1 needs 10.4.9 minimum), updated to 10.4.11 via combo update and then I had 9 packages (this is for Intel).
