Hello, I am not going to comment on all the changes because I am a "recent" registered user, before I only came as a spectator.

Thanks to your OS 9 for Mac Mini, I started collecting them.

Just mentioning that the "like" button was a good incentive. For a few months now I have been performing extreme overclocks on the Mac Mini G4, in your forum I have published the achievements, and without the like, it seems that only a couple of people have seen it, those who have responded. It seems like no one has any interest in these hacks. And I think, maybe it's not worth the effort to show it if no one is interested anymore.

How do I know how many people have benefited from the contribution? only the two that responded? or maybe there are thousands of people?

Apart from this, THANK YOU very much for the effort you make to keep the forum alive. I only collect Mac computers that can run up to OS 9, if a Mac only supports OS X, it is not for me.

Another mini pre-installed with Mac OS 9 is now available:

This is a 1.42 Ghz model in excellent cosmetic condition. I put in a 128 GB SSD via an IDE to mSATA adapter. The combo drive works well too.

Thanks joevt! That's interesting and answers a few questions I've had in the past!

I tried adding `probe-all` to the beginning of my script, and `banner` to the end, which resulted in the errors displayed in the image below. There is a "can't OPEN device" error, and several USB related errors. The Open Firmware console also locked up so a had to reboot holding the power button, wait for programmers tone etc. until OFW loaded.

Instead I substituted `probe-all` with `probe-pci`, and that seemed to work. No errors and it doesn't complain about not finding the GPU device.  :D

Unfortunately this didn't change anything regarding GPU support, and I couldn't see any difference within Apple System Profiler. I'm not expecting this to work, its just an experiment but I did expect to see some differences reported in Apple System Profiler.

If you run `probe-all`, or `probe-pci` within the nvramrc, will it run again afterwards as part of the boot process (overwriting changes), or does this hijack the default boot process?

I'll do some more digging later.

Thanks again joevt!

No worries!

The details in this post are a little out of date now, so as a quick update:
- GPT 3.5 is 100% free to use
- GPT 4 and image generation require a registration
- No monthly usage fees, just a one time registration if you want to use the better AI models

Logic Audio by Emagic / Re: XSKey Emulator for Logic 5 & 6

After a lot of work I'm proud to present a full XSKey Emulator for Logic 5 & 6.
Please read the included Readme for Installation & Removal Instructions.

This is for OS 9 only. I might make an OS X Version some time later but this needs some Research first...

Since my XSKey had to die for the greater good I'm searching for a spare.
I don't care which Licenses it has or even only Demos. Let me know if you have one you don't need.
Thank you very much for your work! We are looking forward to XSKey for Mac OS X. It would be cool to flash the extracted firmware into a blue key with demo versions.

Hardware / Mac mini G4 Screws
« Last post by davecom on Today at 11:55:05 AM »
Hi All,

Does anyone know what the type/length/width of the three Phillips screws that connect the Mac mini G4's housing to its case are? I need to buy a bunch of replacement ones for several of them.

Thanks in advance (image attached of which screws I'm talking about).
