Title: latest Mac OS ROM/iso for iBook G4; has anything changed since 2022?
Post by: ceratophyllum on September 28, 2024, 06:11:20 AM

I installed OS on an 14" iBook G4 1.42 GHz back in 2022. Once in a while, it freezes right after booting. It says in these forums for some of the other unsupported macs (which also share the occasional-freeze-at-startup) that the problem might be fixed.

Is this true of the iBook G4 too ? Do I just need to try a newer Mac OS ROM? Or reinstall the whole system? I lost the CD I burnt 2 years ago and I'm not sure if it is the same as the one on Macintosh Garden:

There's no indication when the files were uploaded.

I'd like to test if there have been changes, but I'm unsure what to download from here or mac garden.
