Sorry, I'm new to Open Firmware. If I try to compile the code, how do I get to the next line of code below? If I press enter as if it were a text document, it deletes what I just compiled. I can't write more than one line. Can you help me?

Some progress on eMac 1.42ghz 2005, posted more details in another thread. NDRV works but crashes before finder.

This device is not that different than the 2005 1.25ghz, the main difference is the GPU being a ATI 9600 (ATY,Apollo_A). I'm not expecting to get 3d acceleration, just resolution options.

Following the precedent and @ELN's excellent work, I looked for a NDRV pef from the previous OS X variants to parcel into the open firmware tree. The earliest is 10.3.8, and this appears to work! The machine boots up in full resolution, colors look better, etc.

The second the finder is about to launch, the screen turns gray. Cursor appears to keep working fine.

If I boot with extensions off, everything seems to go perfectly (but of course I can't use most stuff). I tried disabling all of the ATI extensions but that didn't help. Any tips or ideas? I can keep bisecting the extensions I guess, but wondering if there were other ideas...I assume getting all the way to finder load might be a good sign.

The ROM I am using is attached, added a .txt extension to avoid the filter, can just remove it and it's hqx.

Damn! Oelmuvun! That's a nick I haven't seen in ages. Welcome to Mac OS 9 Lives!

It's been a long time, I know there are other great ones I've forgotten.

Dang, I have been telling myself im going to read a book,  I have a bunch of them, but I only get around to reading my daily chapter in the Bible. Ive been meaning to read Atlas shrugged for years, but i always get busy and get sidetracked with life.

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! 

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.
