[OS 9.2 Partition for G3 Macs - the question]

Nearby this thread is one in which after much headscratching it was concluded that the Powerbook G4 (867 MHz) couldn't run CM because it has an ATI mobility 9000 video card. Could you check your system profiler to confirm the make of card and VRAM.

ATI and PB867 thread

VirtualPC doesn't support 3D graphics acceleration directly from graphics card VRAM and instead uses RAM, so that's a no go.

Be careful wiyh Fire wire drives as 10.3 has issues with firewire drives that needed firmware fixes or data was lost. (see macfixit Firewire debacle)

Thnanks. Sorry for not providing enough intel. 3.0 means Panther 10.3 . . . however, has since upgraded to 10.31. I desire to play CMBO on my Powerbook G4 (867 MHz). Both OS X and OS9 are set to 1024 x 768/thousands. The graphics revert to 640x480 once I start. Having looked throughout the net--I have come to the conclusion that is the best I can do. I have not configured to run Classic off a separate drive, although I am considering setting-up a firewire drive if that is what is necessary. I am interested in any workarounds/fixes which may allow CMBO to work on my powerbook. As a last note, I have not seen discussions about whether Windows emulation software would support running of games such as CMBO. dlb

Hi and welcome to the forum,

Not sure what you mean by "3.o"

Could you give us your system specs and OS version you're booted up in, screen settings etc

Plus are you playing CMBO or CMBB?

Cheers

I am running 3.o and cannot sucessfully load CM -- it hangs when loading graphics. Following the previous comments posted, I deleted the rave file and it appears to work. However, I am having problems with the graphics setting--either it runs in low resolution or in a higher resolution in a smaller window which I cannot adjust. I have spent some time searching for solutions on the web--I am desparate to find a good turn-based wargame which I can play on my powerbook while travelling or killing time. Cheers, dlb
