I'm just doing the coolest thing I've ever done in my computer life... Installing an OS within another OS while watching a movie.... and it's going flawless.... on an iMac G4 1ghz.... :woot:

More comments about Tiger and how it works later this night, after I've come from work.... :(

I am confused, I thought the computer had to restart, and  run the installer outside of Mac OS X.. How do you do it inside?

I'm confused too. How would you install this on a Firewire HD without burning the DVD? It seems like some people have done it, but if the installer makes you restart I don't see how it was possible, maybe I'm missing something.

Mount the Disk Image. On the Disk Image, get out of the folder it normally goes to and go to "System/Installation/Packages/OSInstall.mpkg". It'll bring up the Tiger installer. Install it on your iPod or Firewire HD like normal and close it. When you're done, go into System Preferences>Startup Disk and choose to startup from 10.4.

Exactly how I've done it... except that I've booted pressing command, so I could choose which disk to boot, iPod or Hd... :D

I'm at work now... I've test it only for few minutes... it seemed somehow slow... maybe it's because it's running from the iPod....

... one thing, I tried to open dashboard... how could you add more gadgets?? I only had calculator... and another one i don't remember now...

If I install Tiger on an external HD, would it have any effect on my Panther? Does it change any system preferences or anything like that?

No, it would be a completely different system. External is the way to go if you are going to test something like this and only have one machine.

I see... Never heard of that one before! Cheers 'mate' :p :laugh:

grrrrr :crazy:

They'll fix that right?......right?

Its not really Apple's fault, so i don't suppose they will / can 'fix it'. The technology is utilizing newer technology than your GPU supports. Thats not something Apple can really fix...

Who knows....

I have a feeling it uses Core Image to make the effect. So as long as you can use Core Image with your card then it should work.

Yea, it does use Core Image, but the tech is a little different. Unlike Quartz Extreme (Which is either enabled or NOT, dependent on your hardware), Core Image tech is scaled to work and produce effects as best as possible, based on the hardware. So its fair to say all 'current world' systems support it, but at different levels... If that makes sense...

Well that's nice considering I just have this eMac for like 3 months or so... :crazy:

Very cool of them to include features that only ?2000,-+ desktop machines support!

The eMac's never been their highest class machine... It's cheap for a reason... the graphics card is fine, it just won't support their higher end effects.

*loves his Radeon 9700 Mobility* :p

Anyways... Shodan, can I have a link to that background? I'd really like it ;)

Yea man, i totally understand why you'd be a little annoyed, my brother bought an eMac not very long ago (1.25GHz / 1Gb / SuperDrive) but the Radeon 9200 falls below Core Image's optimal specs.

But you can't blame Apple for utilizing current technology really... Its their job to move the OS forward, and they've by no means crippled users without the 'latest and greatest' hardware. In contrast they've made Core Image suitable for ALL computers, by making it Scalable.

I'll quote 'the evn show' in what he said in another similar post -

What would those who have 'old' hardware prefer: that the entire macintosh world sits patiently for 5 years until they're ready to buy a new video card?

    • EA launches in-game advertising platform for brands to "connect with audiences"

      By Big John Studd · Posted

      Yeah, this is absolutely nothing new and EA have done it before. Burnout Paradise, released in 2008, had dynamic advertising billboards that were updated via the internet and targeted people based on location and what EA knew about them from their profile. It was particularly notable for the fact that the Obama presidential campaign ran ads in the game, in an attempt to reach a younger audience who didn't watch broadcast TV any more. It was by no means the first though. Battlefield 2142 from 2006 had the same thing. In fact, Neowin wrote a story about it back then. https://www.neowin.net/news/ba...-in-game-ads-clarification/
    • Apple MacBook Neo is a blessing for Windows users, here's why

      This is obviously aimed at the education where Apple has lost so much ground to Chromebooks in the last few years, but unless they come up with a comparable management system for education why would anyone switch back?
    • Samsung is shutting down yet another app used by millions

      Here's how we arrived at that claim: Note that this is just Play Store downloads. The app is also available on the Galaxy App Store

      Google Play states the app had more than 50 million downloads. What other metric do you suggest should be used?
    • what other retro software do yall use

      By +InsaneNutter · Posted

      MSN defined our generation in some ways, kind of like Snapchat and TikTok have done for future generations. I have great memories of the MSN era in the late 90s / early 2000s. In the UK everyone seemed to come home from School and go on MSN for the evening. We didn't really have mobile phones then, so other than going and knocking on your friends door it was a totally new way of interacting with people. I also loved how I could talk to people I’d met playing online games from around the world. Inviting people to NetMeeting and messing about with the shared white board and webcams was pretty fun, even if webcams only ran at a couple of fps over dial-up. All the random things you could do with MsgPlus! were really fun - I suspect that made a few people jump with /shello randomly blasting Mr Hankey out their speakers! Maybe I’m just nostalgic, however I do feel the internet and computers were more fun back then.
