@ gaula92 & skurk

great work guys..sure enough someone is gonna anonymously leak the truth and reveal the magic setup needed to get OS4 running on the mini ..lawsuit or not :-D

how does one check to confirm the mini has got the 4.9.4f1 firmware :-?

I found AOS4 to be very slow for a 1,5GHz computer. I suppose the drivers aren't optimal or in some kind of debug mode. AOS4 also crashes very often which really sucks. Sometimes only moving the mouse will freeze the OS.

Ok, my next steps will be to analyze slb and to do a better replacement for it which can load the modules from any device. My main goal is to be able to boot from an USB-Stick. But this whole Moana stuff is not my 1st prio project, so don't hold your breath for it.

damn it looks to be sooo unstable BUT one step at a time now...you broke the first BIG barrier Leo24 ;-)  :banana:

From what Leo says, it sounds like the video driver is the next stumbling block to running it on other Mac models. (like the 1.42GHz Mac Mini I've got sitting here ) we need someone who knows PPC assembler to take a look at that ATIRADEON.CHIP file... maybe with machonist?

why cant one just upgrade the video card in the mini :-?

...I hope with time a solution will be found that will allow the many hundreds, or perhaps many thousands of us interested in running AOS4 on a PPC Mac, to realize that hope.

a big cheers to that :pint:  :-D

The graphics card is built in motherboard, so no option of changing.

ahh ok now i see...lets hope that soon all Mac PPC owners will be able to run a legal copy of OS4 ..reliably that is ;-)
