"Can I run Minecraft in Super Mario Maker for Nintendo 3DS in Super Mario Maker in Super Mario Maker 2 on the NES running with only 2 AA batteries on a Donkey Kong arcade machine running on an Atari 7800?"

Glad I could make your success a reality! I am the original compiler for the ClassiCube port to PowerPC OS X. You can thank UnknownShadow200, the developer behind the game for his work in making this possible.

[@mrpiggy105]

You're a legend, keep going! And for your next challenge getting the most out of this low-end hardware, I'd recommend some lightweight Linux OS to make things possible. This is much more common than I thought on the PPC iMacs! This is gonna get a bit complex so buckle up! Linux has made strides in useability recently - but for things like these it can still be a hassle. So you're in for a challenge, but that's what you wanted! (I recommend keeping macOS btw) and this is not jailbreaking and is completely allowed. ok this will be long here I go yapping again From my research a lightweight version of Ubuntu Linux called Lubuntu has worked for some people. Linux is just a kernel, the bare bones of the OS, so what you're seeing with a full Linux-based OS distributed as a 'distribution' or 'distro' has a bunch of extra stuff on top of it like a shell (what you use in the terminal, usually similar to that of macOS!), display manager and window server or compositor, a desktop environment (what you actually interact with) and a whole lot of other stuff. Linux systems' modularity is what makes them great for all kinds of stuff while still supporting a lot! The Steam Deck runs Linux, even able to play games that only support Windows (to some extent), and it works really well on low-end machines with the appropriate distro. A specially made project MintPPC stopped working late 2023 (as of writing), so we'll use Lubuntu. Installing it seems to be the hardest bit, which, like most OSes, involves booting from a CD or USB drive which has been flashed with the OS installer's ISO file. And usually the installer has a feature where you can try it out on the hardware from the drive before even installing it, so you can test it to make sure there's nothing horribly wrong. Once installed games should work fine. I don't know if it'll be faster or slower than macOS, but game compatibility should be fine. Not perfect, but if a game only supports Windows, you can use Steam's compatibility layer Proton to run them just as well (usually). Whether they run well or not... that's a different story that also depends on the hardware. To get the install drive right, have a look here: lowendmac.com/2018/installing-linux-on-powerpc-macs/ I'm here if you need help! If you don't need this, don't bother though. Happy hacking! edit: crap I realised you already knew half of that from a previous video. Oh well, the link is useful!

[@TaincKWLanguages]

Love your content.

[@andrupka8749]

I think your iMac has early stages of flyback transformer issues which can kill it in the future

[@donavan8581]

Yeah my iMac was making similar noises when I got it, after I finally got a new hard drive in it the fly back gave out, sometimes I hear it can be as simple as a cold solder joint, but that still requires a lot of disassembly, mine just sits next to my G4 iMac on a shelf for now, maybe someday I’ll get it working again.

[@DerKlemm-Crafter]

For me, your definitely a legend! Keep up your work!

[@Swooth20]

You are a legend man👊

How is he even getting all these devices lol

[@brianmalka821]

[@Dollar_Tree_Brutus]
