Hey guys, i hope you can help me out. I recently got a game that needs OS 9 installed to run in the classic mode on my G5 / OSX machine. I don't have a copy. Is it available for download somewhere, or do i have to buy a copy, and if so, were could i still get one?

thanks!
Valentine


edit: never mind, in my search i just learned OS 9.2 is included on the OSX installer disk 2. (No, i do not feel very smart right now!)

in fact, yes. Okay, so far i have classic up and running and the game - Master of Orion 2 - installed and more or less working. However, the graphics are funky. I'm not sure how to fix this, if it can be fixed at all. So suggestions are welcome!

I doubt it can really be fixed, seeing how the game is from 1997 and isn't made to run on modern systems.

here are a couple of screen grabs

the good ones is what i get when starting the game, but it quickly changes in the bad ones.

Unless the issue is interesting to solve, don't spend to much time on it. I arranged to borrow an old mac from a friend of mine to play the game. That aside, thanks!

Change the color depth to thousands og 256 and let us know if that solved the problem.
