Found my old eMac. Runs fine, but browsers such as Safari and Chrome aren't supported because of how old it is. What can I do to get stuff to work on this machine, specifically to play Steam games? Pic related
install ubuntu

What OS is it on? Might be too old to run anything besides games from 2004 anyway.
>>61153525
No idea. How do I find out?
>>61153508
I found this page:
http://steamcommunity.com/discussions/forum/2/364042262887672539/
which says Steam requires OS X 10.7 or later. PPC Macs like your eMac only support up to 10.4. Plus I don't think Steam ever had a PPC build.
your wii is showing

Fuck. Well, what do I do this heavy piece of shit?
>>61153508
vnc maybe?
opera still works on ppc I think
>>61153588
Sell it?
Set it up as a guest internet browsing device?
Use it to play old PPC-only OS X games?
>>61153588
Play neverball
lol this looks like a generic aesthetic thing
>>61153588
not bad audio visual for an arcade machine or something. maybe a karaoke machine? install a PPC linux distro and hack away :)

how u do that
>>61153508
Install 10.5 leopard, it looks cooler
>>61153785
It's called Print-Screen.
>>61153797
Congrats, you have an old mac.
>>61153786
There is no 10.5 for powerpc.
>>61153825
"Leopard supports both PowerPC- and Intel x86-based Macintosh computers; support for the G3 processor was dropped and the G4 processor required a minimum clock rate of 867 MHz, and at least 512 MB of RAM to be installed."

I meant how do you get the browser working. Mine doesn't work.
install emulators and use it for old games.
that's literally the only cool thing you can do with it desu. the crt makes it worth it
>>61153887
Install the one in his screenshot.
>>61153895
>CRT
that's the only reason I wanted to use it
>>61153855
>minimum clock rate of 867 MHz
Erf, that's why my updater dropped the 10.5 (700MHz)...
>>61153887
TenFourFox like in the screenshot...

Plug in an Ethernet cord, it looks like your eMac doesn't have wifi.

>see the handle back here? that's where you tie a chain to it and use it for a boat anchor
Dammit. I'll be able to get the login later today, unless there's a
way I can bypass this.
>>61153944
I just moved it to where I could plug in Ethernet.
