| Classic games on a iBook G4 Today i was messing around with my old systems, My uncle had asked if i had an old apple OS that he could run on a SE that he acquired. I couldn't find the system disks for my SE but I did find images online, unfortunately I don't have a floppy drive for my iBook, so I fired up the old Performa 6400 and some how managed to connect on a dial up account that hasn't been used for at least 2 years, the performa even longer. I then downloaded and used disk copy to make the disks. Took a lot longer than it would have if I had a floppy drive for my iBook but anyways it booted up my old SE fine. while browsing around my Performa I found a lot of old games that i would like to be able to play on my iBook most of them are old starwars games, like tie fighter and x-wing. I tried to play tie fighter on my iBook... it ran but graphics were completely messed couldn't tell anything and they were mixed in with my desktop. Anyway I can get these great games to work?  |

| Just to clarify: are you running them under Classic, or while booted into OS 9? If it's the former, that is known to cause problems with games and such.

| G4 iBooks can't boot into OS 9, the only choice for older apps is Classic. Some older games just aren't usable in Classic, unfortunately. Keep the Performa running !
