Title: Need your help on mac os 9.2.2 image download
Post by: ibookg4 on June 18, 2021, 06:00:05 AM

Hi all,

I am trying to install Mac OS 9.2.2 on my iBookG4 early 2004. I am reading the post: http://macos9lives.com/smforum/index.php/topic,2143.0.html

But when I try to download the Mac OS 9.2.2 in the following link, it just shows 404...

Does anyone have the working download link?

Thanks a lot for your help and look forward to your reply!

Hi ibookg4,

welcome to the forum!

If you have a regular OS 9.2 install media and another mac that you can use to prepare you ibook g4 in target mode, the tweak files are available on MacGarden:

I will try to look at the unsupported mac iso I have locally and try to upload it to a file sharing service while we wait for the download files situation to settle (may not be the latest one but better than nothing :P ).

I will keep on searching for any other OS 9 ISOs for unsupported machines...
