So, the PowerBook G4 12" stayed at home and a MacBook Pro 13" (Early 2011), which I recently scored for a song, came with me.

However, in my interstate travels over this holiday period, I decided I would take only one portable Mac with me which could also provide a modern web development environment.

I usually pack two fully charged batteries and swap them out by early afternoon for a full day's work. The PowerBook G4 is a pleasure to work on with its unsurpassed edge-to-edge keyboard design, concave caps and plenty of key travel. Normally, this poses no issues as I take my little 12" PowerBook on the road each day and find myself powering through countless hours of coding on the old Mac.

I have been quietly working on a backwards-compatible software project in Xcode for the past year or more and have found myself relying heavily on my PowerBook G4 12" with its Mac OS X 10.4.11 environment for running Xcode 2.5. The major advantage here is that this is a (nearly) free option as Apple have provided the Mac OS X Server 10.4.7 (Universal) Build 8K1079 image as a free download for registered developers.Īnd now a little backstory on my desire to run Tiger on a modern Mac. I then installed my favourite FTP client - Transmit v3.7 (Tiger compatible version from ) to connect and share files between systems. To get around this, I enabled "Remote Login" in the host system preferences which enables SSH and SFTP.
For reference, Geekbench 2.2.0 single core results hit 3302 points. Certainly faster than VMware Fusion and substantially faster than running an emulated PowerPC Tiger via QEMU on the same hardware. Once this was unset, Tiger Server booted directly from my existing VMWare Fusion virtual machine's disk image (.vmdk). Note that on my MacBook Pro 13" (Early 2011), I found it necessary to omit the last line of the VBoxManage commands which is to " GetKeyFromRealSMC". However, I found that this solution refuses to work on anything more recent than a Core 2 Duo.Īfter a little hunting, I came across a solution using VirtualBox: VMware Fusion *can* run the Intel version of Tiger Server if you can tame it (10.5 Server was the first officially supported virtualized Mac OS X). There are many ways to emulate a PowerPC Tiger system on modern Intel systems, but virtualization options for (Intel) Tiger are few and far between.
