    LOAF Fixes a Macintosh

    Yes, the iMac G3s were the colorful all-in-one CRTs introduced after Steve Jobs' glorious return to Apple.

    LOAF Fixes a Macintosh

    All I can answer for you is your second question. According to the link I posted just a couple of posts above yours, all iMac G3s can run at least 9.2.1 without problems. The later iMac G3s could only run a machine-specific version of 9.1 and couldn't run 9.0 at all.

    Wing Commander Desktop Icons

    Thanks! :> Yeah, I unfortunately got a bit backlogged because I went back and did 128px and 512px icons for everything, but I'm still planning to do icons for Secret Missions 1, Privateer 2, Prophecy and Secret Ops. Am I missing anything else? I think that would pretty much cover it at that...

    LOAF Fixes a Macintosh

    I've got one of those, maxed out at 2GB also. Kept me going when my PC crapped out and I couldn't afford to replace it for a couple of years. Apparently it takes a machine-specific version of 9.2.2. I guess as long as you have that, you'll be fine. And yes, you're right. It appears as a...

    LOAF Fixes a Macintosh

    I've heard that SWC runs too fast when running in Classic on Tiger on lower. However, if it's a G4 model that can boot natively into OS 9.2.2, you might have more luck. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mac_OS_9#Compatibility

    How many of us are in the Armed Forces?

    I never served. I came really close to enlisting in the Air Force the summer after my junior year in high school, but I had asthma and allergies growing up, so I would have been disqualified from flight training, so I didn't bother. Plus, my left eye had 20/60 vision, so that also would have...

    Accepted to Flight School!

    Congratulations, and keep the dream alive! "When once you have tasted flight, you will forever walk the earth with your eyes turned skyward, for there you have been, and there you will always long to return." -Unknown

    Wing Commander IV DVD Windows 7

    I guess you're probably kidding, but wanting to use an ISO doesn't always imply piracy. Sure, it's possible, but do-gooders with technical know-how can use ISOs to either keep the original discs safe, or because they're playing on a computer without an optical drive (it's common enough. I...

    LOAF Fixes a Macintosh

    I think it should definitely be preserved in some part of the website that Mac OS 8.0 works well for all the Mac Wing Commander games, so it would probably be the ideal OS purchase for someone looking to build/acquire a Wing Commander Mac like you have.

    LOAF Fixes a Macintosh

    It's possible that Origin must have had a separate Mac development team assembled for Super Wing Commander, which was released on 3do the very same year as WC3 on PC. https://www.wcnews.com/articles/art40.shtml - According to this interview with Malcolm McDowell, Chris Roberts sent him a PC...

    Wing Commander Desktop Icons

    Apparently in my infinite wisdom, I uploaded the wrong version of two of the updated WC4 icons (112x128, 192x256). Here are the proper versions. The new WC4 icon has the correct 192x256 resource, so it doesn't need to be reuploaded.

    Since Wing Commander 4 and Wing Commander Armada received updates to one of their ico sizes, I've attached the new ico files for these two sets.

    Transfer an existing personnel file (WC2 - GOG Release)

    Sorry. My mistake. EDIT: I found this thread https://www.wcnews.com/chatzone/threads/kilrathi-saga-question.22001/ Maybe it might help your problem.

    Wing Commander Desktop Icons

    Right. Most of these are from high quality scans taken from this site. Boxes, posters, manuals, game guides, etc. The Righteous Fire artwork I source from https://www.wcnews.com/news/2011/08/11/a-tour-of-the-box-factory Not that it's a complete cut and paste job (though I do do a lot of that)...

    Wing Commander Desktop Icons

    Hello, friends. Been very busy here. Just wanted to give you a preview of what I've been working on. What do you think? Many more where these came from, I assure you. I've also got another project I've been working on that might interest you Mac-using Wingnuts.

    Transfer an existing personnel file (WC2 - GOG Release)

    Hey, I'm pretty sure SM1 and SM2 have specific pilot transfer programs -- transfer.exe and transfer2.exe, specifically -- that you have to run against your save file. Then they become loadable in SM1 or SM2. EDIT: Might add, though, that supposedly this renders the save unloadable in the game...

    So we have some of the stats for the Priv 3 Ships...

    I agree. Blender is a good choice because it is powerful, yet free, so it's a good place to start, though plenty of modelers primarily or even only use Blender. I have the exact same opinion about GIMP as well.
