I think OS4 CAN be run on MAC MINI (USABLE)

[kickstart]

Hi everyone...

I see that some users talk about atiradeon.chip safe or not safe version, well... browsing in the 45mb iso file on /kickstart directoy are atiradeon.chip and atiradeon.chip_safe.

What i need for a g4 mini 32mb radeon? rename one of this atiradeon file? copy another version to the iso? if we need another version, what version?

Thanks.

I get the same screen with corrupted colors predominating purple using ati_safe, my mini is a 32mb gfx memory, i can use keyboard and mouse in this corrupted screen and click icons, move windows... but seems great advance, i hope this error will be fix soon.

Ok specs follow...

Tietokoneen nimi: Mac mini
Tietokoneen malli: PowerMac10,1
Prosessorin tyyppi: PowerPC G4 (1.2)
Prosessorien lukumäärä: 1
Prosessorin nopeus: 1.42 GHz
L2-välimuisti (prosessoria kohden): 512 Kt
Muisti: 512 Mt
Väylänopeus: 167 MHz
Boot ROMin versio: 4.8.9f1

And my result with the latest iso are corrupted color screen but mouse and kb works.

1.2hgz and 1.4ghz mac minis have the same specs and 1.5 aka "silent update" have 64mb gfx card and updated boot rom... i dont think that rom firmware cause errors like corrupted screens, this come by atiradeon.chip, but this is only my humble opinion.

Yes, all minis ppc have radeon 9200 just 1.2 and 1.4 have 32mb and 1.5 64mb thats all, but i dont understand why this corrupted screens just for 32mb of gfx memory.

Wow this screenshot of morphos in mac mini is very cool, but morphos 3.0 will be released in years i think

@booboo1200

If ati radeon 9200 fails enought for make a fix, maybe this gfx card need to fail on linux or osx and in my case osx or liny dont show corrupted color screen.

I dont seepeople with mac minis runs os4 on it, some user some pages back in this post tells that runs on a 1,42 with 32mb gfx memory... if this is true, why people dont explain it?

Now somt post back people speak about flash radeon version just for test, this is pure hype

By the way this is my radeon version 113-xxxxx-116

Please lest be serious, radeon fw on the mac mini is not the reason if moana work or dont work, i have a mac mini and i like to install in it os4 but we only have hype like information about it, i like morphos too in the mac mini but at elast we have more information about this and no hype.

Lest talk about the choices to install the moana files that we have actually without fantasies.

Please, hope that nobody take this ofensive.

This is mathematics?, maybe is only a bad driver.

Yes Id be intrested to know if MorphOS works across all version of the Rom Revision at all resolutions
The drivers need patching ;-)

Please morphos have an official support isnt like moana, developers will make morphos runs in all macminis.

This hardware under 100eur becomes up to 200 or 300eur if its done for amiga people

Memory is not the problem, i have 1gb kingstom at the proper speed for mac mini g4 and moana gets the colour corrupted screen, i dont know why os4 runs on your macmini, by the way... you talk about partitions, what partitions?

[kickstart]

ok ok... you tell us that your 1,42ghz, 1gb ram, radeon 32mb, works with moana and rest of the info is mistery like ever   :-P please lest talk about it in the good way or lest forget this.

[kickstart]

Work in your macmini but a corrupted screen is showed... i call to it that doesnt work.
