Ibook help needed

[Journo]

I have an iBook running Mac OS 10 and classic and need someone to help me sort it all out so I can run combat mission.

I live both in London and new York - is there anyone who can help me.

Or maybe guide me to do it myself

thanks,

Jonathan

CM (either CMBO or CMBB) won't run under OS X with hardware rendering. 'Software rendering' is possible in Classic mode, though I believe the 'Classic RAVE' extension interferes with this.

The instructions in this thread from gibsonm should get you going, though they aren't geared specifically towards running on an iBook (but they should work nevertheless).

those instructions are very good. In a nutshell, 3 options I use, I'm sure there are more.

1) When classic is starting up inside X, hold down the spacebar to bring up the extensions manager. Scroll down to Classic RAVE and make sure it's turned OFF. Then you can play CM inside OSX. It doesn't look nearly as good, but sometimes it beats having to reboot.

2) Reboot back into OS9 using the Startup Disk application in system prefs. When booting back into 9, make sure you hold down the shift key to bring up the extensions manager. Again, make sure Classic RAVE is turned OFF. Allow 9 to continue booting, then play.

3) Duplicate your OS9 system folder so you can use one for Classic in X and the other to boot into straight for 9.

Inside the classic control panel in X, you can set which copy of OS9 you wish to use as your classic OS. You can have as many versions of OS9 on the same drive as you like. It will boot the selected OS9 as classic every time. Then use the Startup Disk app to switch between OSX and your CM OS9 system folder.

The version X will use (call it Classic OS9) will get the Classic RAVE extension loaded every time Classic loads, but that's OK. Select your OS9 system folder in the startup disk app. The first time you reboot into OS9, hold down the shift bar to get into the extensions manager and make sure Classic RAVE is turned off. Since OSX won't be trying to use that system folder to boot up classic, you won't have to deal with the Classic RAVE file again in that sys folder.
