![]() Just my contribution to rebuilding the knowledge of the 68kmla I don't need the info now as I got it sorted in the end, but I expect someone else will want it at some stage! Alternatively, if it is appropriate, then any additional hints/tips that you might have to share can of course be posted. I hope it's OK to re-post here what I posted on the PPCMLA, I just thought it would be useful to have it on both sites - if this isn't wanted here for any reason then of course feel free to delete it. I therefore did this quick guide to using XPostFacto to get a reference topic on the subject started, as some of the things that I learned from the experience are not that easy to find/obvious otherwise. We’ll see in a few months.I thought it might come in handy in the future to have all the info about XPostFacto in one place on here, so I've copied across the info that I also posted on the PPCMLA - there was quite a lot of useful info in the topics that were previously on here where I discussed my problems in getting it to work, which has now been lost. Seems like the effort and time to upgrade the macpro would be a waste as the cpu transition would eventually come, Probably be better to spend the money for a new mac than to keep the old one running. I can use the linux box in mean time, Usually spends time using the internet anyway and the other mac functions arn’t internet dependent. ( I have a linux box running for my entertainment so no big learning curve) Ubuntu 22.04ģ: *Cough* *Cough* Don’t want my Fruit ID bannedĤ: Wait for a m2 mac to come out and just switch over, as I’ll have to do that anyway eventually ($800 min). as the macpro is currently on 10.11Ģ : install windows or linux on the mac to allow it to still work with updated os as both aren’t as hardware dependent as mac is for web standards. Which I’ll have to upgrade the OS 3-4 times to make it up to date. I have several options.ġ: upgrade the mac with a metal enabled GPU($200min), use some software hacks to allow an updated os to run on it. Ok as I’m dealing with a old 2008 mac pro on it’s last legs I’ll chime in on this. These are people giving older Macs a longer lease on life, and that’s only to be applauded. It must be a small scene, actively fighting Apple every step along the way, but usually succeeding in the end. I always love the dedication of these people trying to get macOS to run on hardware it was never intended to run on. The OCLP developers have admitted that macOS Ventura support will be tough, but they’ve made progress in some crucial areas that should keep some older Macs kicking for a little bit longer. ![]() It’s an offshoot of the OpenCore Hackintosh bootloader, and it’s updated fairly frequently with new features and fixes and compatibility for newer macOS versions. Tools like XPostFacto and LeopardAssist could help old PowerPC Macs run newer versions of Mac OS X, a tradition kept alive in the modern era by dosdude1’s patchers for Sierra, High Sierra, Mojave, and Catalina.įor Big Sur and Monterey, the OpenCore Legacy Patcher (OCLP for short) is the best way to get new macOS versions running on old Macs. ![]() Skirting the official macOS system requirements to run new versions of the software on old, unsupported Macs has a rich history. ![]()
