OS X Jaguar must have?
Posted by: Arths on 2010-12-02 11:56:46 Hey guys. I just installed OS X Jaguar in PearPC, updated to latest version. :beige: Now I need some stuff for it. Do you know any must have for Jaguar ? Thanks 😀
Posted by: Anonymous Freak on 2010-12-02 12:31:37 An actual Mac to run it on? 😛 Camino 1.0.6 (web browser,) is the best browser for it. If you want "period" software, go get a hold of the early versions of Safari and iChat AV. While Jaguar was the first "breakout" version of OS X (it was during Jaguar's reign that OS X became the default OS over OS 9 on new Macs; and when the first OS X-only Macs started coming out,) there isn't exactly a lot of software that had people going "OMG! THIS is what OS X is about!" There were still plenty of packages that were OS 9 compatible, too, so not much "breakout" stuff. The Freeverse games (Especially Big Bang Board Games,) were well integrated, using your address book and iChat to find opponents. Without proper hardware, you can't take advantage of Jaguar's most notable built-in enhancements: Bluetooth and Ink. Same goes with Quartz Extreme, although that mostly falls "behind the scenes."

Posted by: ClassicHasClass on 2010-12-02 22:48:56 Actually, for Jag I recommend SeaMonkey 1.1.whateveritwas (I forget, I think .19). It's more current than Camino 1.0.6 was and has a number of security fixes.
