Which of your systems is freezing? You have listed an iMac and a G3.

IIRC, the only way to install OS 9 on the Dual 867s is by using the software restore discs that came with the computer. There should be a disk image of a special version of 9.2.2 that is compatible with the first generation MDD G4 (Windtunnels...) on the discs. Check this link...

The Quicksilver 733s are lacking the L3 cache, which usually offers a big boost to game performance. The default card in that system I believe was a 32 MB GeForce2MX, which is not really that great of a card these days. But I'm not sure what graphical settings you're trying to use so I'm not...

How active you have to be as an owner can vary depending on the type of league it is. If it's a Roto league, you don't necessarily have to play every day. If it's a H2H league with weekly scoring, then you'll want to keep an eye on things day by day.

I think OS 9 might stretch software mode. I don't know of any way to get rid of the black bars in Software mode in OS X. Honestly, I prefer the 4:3 aspect ratio since it isn't distorted. After playing DII with 4:3 screen ratios, I get disoriented when playing with the stretched mode.

Did you do a full install of the game? If you do a full install, you should only need the CD to start the game. Nothing would load off the CD and everything would load off your HD. I do full installs with all of my games. Highly recommended!

The problem with the iMac is that it lacks an L3 cache. Due to architectural differences the 7450 and 7455 PPC chips will actually run slower than the 7400 and 7410 at the same speed (check out IMG's hardware shoot out. The Cacheless 800 G4 PPC 7450 was barely faster than a G4 500 PPC 7400)...

Actually, for both NVIDIA and ATI cards, hardware acceleration isn't as consistent as software mode in terms of performance for both OS 9 and OS X. Hardware rendering may seem high at first, but once a lot of stuff starts happening on screen then performance drops through the floor. The...

Anyone know if Quicktime has support for Metafiles similar to Microsoft's ASX and Real Media's RAM files? Those basically allow one to make a play list of available media. They're actually quite handy.

It's not ThemeChange it self, it's the themes. Other apps which change themes will cause similar issues. Themes are only compatible with certain OS updates because certain version specific files are replaced. If you're going to use a theme, it must be installed while you have the appropriate...

What games have you tried? Can Apple System Profiler detect the controller?

How many times did you restart the game? It sounds like you're experiencing the Radeon/RAVE/Unreal Engine bug. Two things you can do. One, download the very latest version of Deus Ex (it includes multiplayer, but it's a little hard to get to the InputSprocket dialog box unless you read the...

In OS 9, WCIII should have an option called "Enable Multi Button Mouse Support" in one of the Option screens. I think it's under Gameplay.

If you have the absolutely latest version of the Logitech Mouseware for Mac OS 9.x then the drivers should automatically disable themselves in Mac games which use InputSprockets (most games). However, I don't use the Mouseware software because it tends to lose my mouse settings. Instead, I...

The mouse shadow has nothing to do with QE. I have two Macs without QE that both have the mouse shadow. I have two other Macs with QE and they also both have the mouse shadow.

I use a combination of MT-Newswatcher and Thoth. I just use Thoth for downloading binaries. I use MT-Newswatcher for posting messages and viewing attachments. I think MT-Newswatcher is the easiest Usenet client available but it has it's share of issues. Thoth's interface is similar to...

If you haven't tried already, try opening up the file in WiMP (Windows Media Player). Some of the Windows folk aren't smart enough to know that the file extension is there for a reason and they'll name some .wmp files .mpg or .mpeg. If the file still doesn't open, then it may be a mpeg2 file...

Actually, Diablo II is one of those games where you do not want to change the application memory partition. Based on your sig, you have OS 9.1 and OS 9.2.x installed on separate drives. Try playing Diablo II while booted into each version of the OS. Dump your Diablo II Preferences file...

Logicware was doing the port for Sierra (who was going to publish it). Valve decided to axe Mac Half-Life when it was probably a week a way from being declared Gold Master. Right before they cancelled it, word got out that Logicware had deliberately disabled PC to Mac networking since Valve...

Um... you can mount the disk images all you want, assuming you have Disk Copy 6.5b11. Here are some instructions I found... and they work. I've created 3 bootable OS X 10.1 disks following these instructions: "Hi, Your info about OS X is incorrect. I almost gave up after I read that once...
