Nuendo 1.6.0 and 1.6.1 are now [k'd] and available on the Hotline-Server.
It can be found under Audio -> Recording & Sequencing -> Nuendo.

Awesome, thanks windoze, great work!  ;D

Steinberg was pushing the PC version pretty hard and was focused on Windows at the time; they released an extremely stable PC version BEFORE the mac version.  This was the first time that a Windows product was released before the Mac version.  When I finally got my hands on the mac version, it was obvious the coding NOT at the same level as far as stability and performance of the PC version.  It was apparent that Steinberg was banking on a Windows future and left a skeleton crew to port over the code for the mac version.

That's right. I had to left the 1.5 version because it's unstability. Even it couldn't reopen some of its own project files!

Is there a guide on how to do this with the boot script?

That nvramrc script is only for booting Mac OS 9 so I would try putting it into the "<BOOT-SCRIPT>" of the "Mac OS ROM" file of the Mac OS 9 "System Folder". Update the checksum at the end. Make sure "elf-offset" is correct and aligned on 4K (0x1000) boundary by adding or removing zero bytes after "</CHRP-BOOT>"

To make the Mac OS ROM compatible with all Macs, I would add code to the script to check the Open Firmware version or date or whatever before applying the changes.

 https://macos9lives.com/downloads says "Contains install media with modified ROM". Maybe it means the "Mac OS ROM" file has been changed already? I've never looked into it since I don't have an unsupported G4. I would compare the "Mac OS ROM" file with the ones at https://github.com/joevt/MacROMan to see what if any changes were made already.

Sabrina-Online.com was one of the first webcomics I ever read and still works to this day, even with Netscape 4.7.

Hey everyone, what are some of your favorite Mac OS 9-compatible websites still online today?

I'm aware of the more notable ones like this site, the garden, oldavista, oldnet, protoweb, etc., but sometimes they also contain links to a number of sites that can be dead, incompatible, etc. I'd like to start a new list for people to browse!

To start, some of my favorites acessible from my old Macs include ericexperiment.com (fun personal site with lots of resources), starmen.net (I've used their walkthroughs while playing MOTHER 1 on my old Mac!) and maybe even... cough cough jojo2k.com ... cough ...

What are some of your favorites?

Those commands can be added to the firmware script "nvramrc" in order to run each time the computer boots up. I think on the Alubooks the nvram doesn't depend on a battery; the CGL3032 is for keeping RAM contents alive when you put the computer to sleep and exchange the main battery. But open to correction on that point.

this isn't all so straight forward.

So I pretty much understood this:

1. Download unsupported G4's iso from here: http://files.macos9lives.com/MacOS%20Operating%20Systems/Mac%20OS%209.2.2%20For%20Previously%20Unsupported%20G4s/Mac%20OS%20922%20Unsupported%20G4.iso

2. burn it on a CDR, can I use a windows PC using IMGBURN for this?

3. Boot up on Powerbook G4 and install on a free partition
(I have Tiger and Leopard already on this machine including one unassigned 80GB partition..)

4.
apply some sort of firmware hack for audio support..

Code: [Select]
dev /cpus/PowerPC,G4@0
80010201 encode-int " cpu-version" property
dev /pci@F2000000/mac-io/i2s/i2s-a
" screamer" encode-string " compatible" property
device-end

are these nvram parameters ? my machine doesn't have a working pram battery as I'm unable to obtain a CGL3032 rechargable coincell in my country.
Will this be an issue? I don't want to retype this everytime I reboot the machine  :o

Just tested XSKey Emulator with Logic Pro 7.2.3 on Mountain Lion 10.8.5.
running on a i5 Intel Mac mini

works good so far!  :)


Logic Pro 7.2.3 is Intel Native no need for Rosetta
