aka_tom_w Posted January 26, 2001 Share Posted January 26, 2001 Sorry for the new thread. and I should imagine this has been covered before, BUT is any one out there running CMBO on a DVD G3 400mhz Powerbook running Mac OS 9.1? Are there any conflicts? IS there a thread already where we were chatting about 9.1? I was thinking about upgrading this afternoon. Thanks. -tom w Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slapdragon Posted January 26, 2001 Share Posted January 26, 2001 The only thing I had was in the biggest battles, it would freeze due to a memory problem. Giving CM more memory made it go away on the largest maps I could make. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
109 Gustav Posted January 26, 2001 Share Posted January 26, 2001 Everything I've heard about 9.1 says that it's a little bit more stable, but has so many conflicts with different programs and extensions that the upgrade isn't worth it. It is supposed to bring the OS closer to OSX, though. Check out these discussion forums, http://www.ResExcellence.com/cgi-bin/dcforumlite/dcforumlite.cgi and http://forums.macaddict.com/ for some in depth discussion. ------------------ Well my skiff's a twenty dollar boat, And I hope to God she stays afloat.

elementalwarre Posted January 26, 2001 Share Posted January 26, 2001 cmbo works for me on that config, more or less. however, i run a stripped-down system folder with few third-party additions here's another opinion on mac os 9.1 (not mine since i'm biased): http://www.macfixit.com/reports/macos9.1.shtml Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadow 1st Hussars Posted January 26, 2001 Share Posted January 26, 2001 I have OS 9.1 and i have no conflicts. The only thing I noticed is, that it makes the hi-res REALLY Hi-Res, and the low-res REALLY low-res. Other than that I haven't had any problems. And about 9.1 being closer to X, OSXpb and OS9.1 aren't compatible. ------------------ No bastard has ever won a war by dying for his country.

aka_tom_w Posted January 26, 2001 Author Share Posted January 26, 2001 Thanks guys Well I did the install now and I'm back up and running and it does feel a little zippier. I will play CMBO over the weekend and see if I notice anything different -tom w Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Aitken Posted January 26, 2001 Share Posted January 26, 2001 When OS 9 came out all I heard about were the conflicts and incompatibilities. I was damned if I was going to upgrade. Eventually I gave in to temptation, and but for one or two software upgrades, there was really nothing wrong with it. Same goes for 9.1 – apparently there are a lot of problems, but I haven't seen any. Frankly, I think most of the problem reports come from people who have an issue in their specific circumstances which wouldn't affect anyone else, or who have simply caused a problem while upgrading the OS which the OS isn't responsible for.
