I done gone did it
Got Mac OS X for x86 to run natively from a drive, with help from this handy guide. I did use an external hard drive, but none of the Pentiums in the house could boot from USB drives so I had to dismantle it and install it temporarily in my sister’s computer.
Still using Windows, though, because
1) it’s more legal
2) OSX86 crashes a lot and won’t open some stuff
3) Windows is more practical overall (OH YEAH I WENT THERE)
If anyone wants to borrow my hard disk for a while they can. It’s just sitting there with a 6GB OS X partition. If you’ve got a modern Pentium 4 (supporting SSE2) you can try it out.
you don’t have to use grab, newbie
I couldn’t find an image editor that came with the OS 9_9

I downloaded that like 4 months ago. :O
Four months ago yeah right, they got it to actually work only a week ago.
There was a torrent months ago. I never messed with it after I got it though.
Of course, right after WWDC. But all the patches to get things to work correctly were only implemented recently. This is a native boot from disk using OpenDarwin and VMware.
I wonder if the performance would be smoother if you were using (assuming such will ever exist) an intel compiled version of Panther (10.3) or earlier versions of OS X…
Hmm. I don’t know why it would be.
Video driver support is nil right now, and a lot of effects, like fading windows while closing, don’t work properly. Effects such as the dashboard rolling out are quite choppy. Everything is extremely useable, though – the slow effect performance doesn’t impede on the actual usability.
I doubt that they’ll port over earlier versions of OS X.
