| Just got a 6360, and a Rage 128. | |
| Posted by: Steve_G on 2022-12-13 16:58:54 Yep, and i wonder...what can i do in 7.6.1 with a rage 128, i got the 128 to at least have better video resolution than 800x600, and potentially some 3d. I want to have a pure 7.6.1 machine for nostalgia, and this system and the price was good. | |
| Posted by: Byrd on 2022-12-14 00:45:03 You might want to dual boot Mac OS 8.6/9.1, as the ATI drivers are more mature and things like Game Sprocket extensions are native to this OS and required for a lot of early 3D titles. | |
| Posted by: jeremywork on 2022-12-14 03:17:19 Also potentially of interest, "ATI Rage / Radeon Installer for Mac OS 7.6 by Dan Palka" (of System 7 Today). It's on system7today but also here: Ati drivers for Mac OS Classic | |
| Posted by: Phipli on 2022-12-14 03:35:36 You'll want Quickdraw3D and RAVE programs for System 7, I think you need 8.6 for OpenGL. | |
| Posted by: joshc on 2022-12-14 04:06:14 Once you get 8.6/9.1 on there, you may as well get a G3 or G4. These machines are slow with later Mac OS versions. | |
| Posted by: Steve_G on 2022-12-14 20:45:22 Hmm, well i am bidding on a 6500/225 board for it to upgrade it. but i just want a system 7.6.1 foolaround machine. the Rage 128 was more for resolution than anything else, since it will let me use VGA at better resolutions vs HD15 | |
