![]() ![]() King of Fighters 10th Anniversary Extra Plus King of Fighters Special Edition 2004 Plus Many of the old 8-bit games are still surprisingly playable Virtually a PowerPCĬrouching Tiger Hidden Dragon 2003 Super Plus A lot of apps originally developed for 10.5 Leopard or 10.6 Snow Leopard won’t run on later versions. Snow Leopard was also the last version of OS X to support PowerPC processors. ![]() ![]() So, if you have any software that originally ran on a G3, G4 or G5 Mac, that’s as far as it could be upgraded. Unfortunately, running Snow Leopard isn’t as simple as just taking the original install DVD and putting the system on an external drive.Īn operating system from five years ago doesn’t have the right drivers for lots of the hardware on a modern Mac, such as a Retina display or USB 3.0 ports. Instead, you should use either Fusion 8 or Parallels Desktop 12. Either of these can create a virtual machine that runs within your existing OS and allows you to install and run a completely different operating system on top of that. The virtualisation software takes care of interfacing with your modern hardware, so it works even with older operating systems. The only tiny complication is that Apple’s licensing agreement doesn’t allow the regular edition of Snow Leopard to be installed on a virtual machine, so you need to buy a copy of Snow Leopard Server instead. This works just the same as the regular edition of Snow Leopard (apart from some system administration features that you’ll never use) but handily, it will also install correctly under Parallels Desktop or VMware Fusion. You can pick up a copy of Snow Leopard Server on eBay for about £50/$60/AU$85, as long as you avoid getting a copy with unlimited licences. Perhaps you need to roll the clock back even further and run software designed for Mac OS 9? If you still have a Mac running 10.4 Tiger, you might be able to run them using the Classic environment, but this will only work on a Mac with a PowerPC processor. You can’t run the Classic environment on an Intel Mac, even if you’re running 10.4 from within Parallels or Fusion.įor that, you’ll need to download SheepShaver. This curiously named utility emulates the PowerPC hardware so that you can install OS 9 – or even OS 8.īecause it’s emulating a different hardware architecture, SheepShaver needs to use the system ROM files from one of the older Macs. These are copyrighted by Apple, so you can’t legally use them unless you also own the physical Mac they came from. ROM files for various older Mac models are available for download though, so you don’t need to go through the rigmarole of copying off the system ROM from that old G3-powered Mac in your loft. Once you have OS 9 running inside your emulator – see the walkthrough on the next page for step-by-step instructions – you’re ready to install some apps.Įven if you no longer have the original disks for your software any more (or perhaps even a drive that will read them!) there are lots of apps that are classed as abandonware. This is a legally grey area whereby very old software that’s no longer available commercially is distributed for free by enthusiasts. ![]() It’s technically still software piracy, but the original copyright holder either can’t be traced or chooses not to enforce their copyright.įor software that’s 20 or more years old, some would argue that downloading it is an ethical act of software preservation. Maintains an extensive library of Mac abandonware, including some classic games from the ’90s.Īpple’s Classic environment is an emulator of Mac OS 9 that was included with OS X up to 10.4 Tiger Installing old softwareĪlthough you can download apps directly from the web browser running in OS 9, you’ll find it generally much easier to download the files in OS X and then move them across to the emulated OS 9 environment.
