      System 7 only runs on Motorola 68xxx Apple Powerbooks that were dark grey. Intel Macbooks need an emulator to use System 7, and PowerPC PowerBooks (and IBooks) can only use System 9.
      So using system 7 on a black DS is more legit.

    After glancing at your channel after being recommended this video... I don't understand UA-cam's algorithm whatsoever.
    First of all, I already love your channel. You have a very similar kind of mood to LGR's videos set, both in premise and presentation. That's not a bad thing whatsoever, and don't mistake me saying it's anything other than perfect as it is. With how vast the world of old bizarre tech, software, homebrew is... we need more people talking about it because no one person can cover all the bases.
    THEN I learned that you've been doing this for a DECADE. I've been watching LGR about that long, where the hell have these videos been in my recommended section when I would binge watch LGR, UA-cam?! Based on titles alone, any number of your videos would have been up my alley, yet this was the first time I've seen your channel. 😖Like I said, I don't understand UA-cam's algorithm.
    I'm glad UA-cam showed me your work, you've given me quite a backlog of intriguing videos to go through! 😁👍

    I hope those capable put more work into MacOS on Wii. If it was easy to install and worked smoothly, that would be a blessing for those who wish to relive the classic Mac era, with full CD ROM support, and component video out for a clean picture on a CRT. The 90s Mac capacitors are not holding up well so original hardware is becoming scarce. Personally my experience with web emulators or using virtual machines and emulators on M1 Mac, I encounter too much input delay with the mouse cursor. So using the newest available and mass produced PowerPC devices would be a dream come true.

    • @lampiaio
      @lampiaio 11 місяців тому +1

      I second this so much! Also, couldn't the Wii U also be used for the same purpose? Considering it's also a PowerPC system (a beefed up Wii, after all)? It even has a Radeon GPU (plus, HDMI out!), and ATI graphics cards were no strangers to classic Macs... I've been using emulators (Basilisk/SheepShaver/QEMU), but as you've said, it's not the same as running natively.
      Having and old Wii or Wii U as a Macintosh machine would really address the issues you mention, hopefully someone can make it happen!

    You should try recalibrating your DS touch screen! But also it is rather imprecise

    I would really love to see how OutSpoken would run, if audio works.

    I notice the small hinge is cracked on that Crimson and Black DS Lite, I don't know what it is about that color but it seems like every single one of those in that color the hinge is broke.

    It would be even cooler if it could also be used on the 3DS, PSP and PS Vita because of the extra power and screen resolution

    eMaculation really brings me back. I remember when the best emulator for windows was only 68k mac Basilisk II. Anyone remember Hartman or jawa78?

    This would be so cool to run Cosmic Osmo or something! Might have to dig up my R4

    The only problem I have is that the screen on the Nintendo DS is too small for Mac OS Classic

    I don't know if that was ever asked before but did you upload the bliss photo somewhere? I always found that photo with the vineyards really beautiful but couldn't find it anywhere, only found the original Bliss or the 3D render nightmare made by Microsoft
