Are you trying to update from OS 9.2.1 or just install OS 9.2.2.

 Cheers, Tom

I'm trying to locate the Mac OS that will let me play many of the older Mac Games on a Power Mac G4, running the Tiger OS 10.4.3, with 256MB memory. When I attempt to install an older game, I get a message that says I need to have OS 9.1 or older installed. My PowerBook G4, running Tiger 10.4.11 is able to run the older games. Of course, this OS includes the OS 9.2.2.

Regards, Art

I wonder which version of OS9 your original installer disc installs? I thought many G4 discs installed 9.1 which most people then updated to 9.2.2.
