Classic on x86?

(1/2) > >>

hm_murdock:
I heard about Rosetta for using Classic and Carbon when the issue first came out, but I've not heard anything since. Anybody got the lowdown?

WMD:
I heard that Rosetta can only run OS X apps (not Classic/OS 9 ones), and only on CPUs with SSE3.

M51DPS:
According to Apple, the transition to Mac OS X is complete and has been for a while now. They are going to get rid of classic compatibility at some point, and the switch to Intel processors would be a good reason (too much effort, not people still using classic for it to matter). What apps would you still need?

hm_murdock:
Darn good point there. Most likely if you really need classic apps at this point, it's because you have something that just won't run on OS X at all, and need full blown 9 for it still.

themacuser:
I have a powerbook 3400 for all the classic stuff, works great. I've hardly touched classic on my PBG4.
