Wow, software like that for a machine that old.

I don't know what was popular back then, but I think maybe try an earlier version of Screenflow.

(Actually I think that back then, pretty much nothing was really "popular" or very widespread for this task)

At worst you might want to use an external solution, as depending on the game the Mac might have enough workload due to the game alone. :)

Bwahahahaa, Minecraft! :laugh:

You'll need to get an old version of Skype, as the latest one is Intel-only, they don't distribute Universal packages anymore I think.

Hope and pray that that version will still connect for a reasonable time. :/

I stripped out my iMac G4 and put a Raspberry Pi in it. Makes an awesome super low power Kitchen Cookbook Computer.

[startrek1997]

Do you have it using the G4s monitor??

[startrek1997]

Does anyone know if my Mac will read dual-layer DVDs????

It probably will provided your model has either a Combo or Superdrive. :)
