Oct 2, 2007 4:08 PM in response to gmaceriby gmaceri,no os games work for os x or intel macs...unforunately -
Dec 4, 2007 8:13 PM in response to Allan Eckertby Alejandro Bermejo,Yes, there's a way to run OS 9 on an Intel Mac. I saw a hack, but Apple will not be Very Happy if I write about it. I have a lot of OS 9 games so OS X can't be my "Only" OS. -
Dec 5, 2007 2:16 PM in response to Alejandro Bermejoby B. Gibson,There is a patch available to make Red Faction work on Mac OS X. Check it out at:

Dec 5, 2007 6:55 PM in response to Allan Eckertby Bruce Anderson,Sheepshaver is an emulator, and it works VERY well. I think it's a bit unfair to call it a hack. I've been using it to emulate System 7.6.1 so I can play Might & Magic III. Be aware that it only supports up to System 9.1 (IIRC). Most of the changes from 9.1.x to 9.2.x were for MacOS X compatibility (i.e. Classic mode) so 9.1 will be more than enough for most users' needs. -
Dec 5, 2007 8:52 PM in response to Bruce Andersonby eww,Hi, Bruce. Sheepshaver's OS 9 support tops out at v. 9.0.4, not 9.1. -
Dec 6, 2007 1:07 AM in response to ewwby Bruce Anderson,You are correct. I'm not sure if there's much difference between 9.0.4 and 9.1 except for hardware support (i.e. machines released after the 9.0.4 update). So that's plenty. -
Dec 6, 2007 3:54 AM in response to Bruce Andersonby eww,9.1 was the first mature, stable version of OS 9, and some software that was written or last updated in late 2000 or thereafter requires at least OS 9.1. Such software may not be supported in Sheepshaver. That's a small slice of the whole Mac software pie to be sure. But diehard OS 9 users who resisted adopting OS X as long as possible, and who applied the final updates to their OS 9-based applications after OS 9.1 was released in Jan. 2001, are the people most likely to encounter limitations in Sheepshaver support for those applications. And any software that expects direct access to hardware settings (video, sound, etc.) when run natively in OS 9 is denied that access in Sheepshaver's emulation, the same as it would be if it were running in Classic mode on a PowerPC Mac. That leaves many games and multimedia apps (in particular) unsupported.
I mention these facts not to discourage people from trying Sheepshaver, but to alert them to some possible explanations if they find they can't run favorite apps or games satisfactorily in Sheepshaver's emulation environment. -
Feb 14, 2008 2:49 PM in response to Allan Eckertby gmaceri,Hello Allan, its been a while since i last talked to you, but i have another question for you:
When your mac book pro get hot, do your fans start "clicking" or making any other sounds?
because i started to play Diablo, and a couple of hours into it, my fans started making this really annoying noise, and its been almost, 6 months and they still do this. can you help? -

Feb 15, 2008 9:15 PM in response to Allan Eckertby gmaceri,well, i appreciate your time and effort with this question. thanks alot.
i dont know, but my best guess is, while i was playing a game called diablo, my MBP was just doing its hardest to deal with this game, that it got REALLY HOT, and maybe the fans just got a little warped and started rubbing on stuff.
but of coarse im not an apple employee so...
