Garrulous Glaahk Slp006 Posted July 5, 2005 Share Posted July 5, 2005 After launching GC for the fifth time or so, I received an error about not having enough memory to run OS X effectively with Classic apps or something to that effect. GC opened afterward, but with the sound significantly slowed down. Thinking that this was some RAM snafu, I rebooted. The error no longer showed up, but the sound still ran slow. What's worse is that now I've discovered that all of my Classic programs have a sound slowdown. I tried Googling™ the problem to no avail, so I figured I might try here. Crud. I actually liked GC, too. I hope it hasn't given me a reason to reformat. For reference, here are my system specs. Mac OS X v 10.3.9 1.8 GHz iMac G5 512 MB RAM Classic v. 1.8.3 (OS 9.2.2) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Easygoing Eyebeast Thralni Posted July 6, 2005 Share Posted July 6, 2005 Strange. I've an Imac G3 and only the first time when I played it, the computer ran slowly. th game itself actually didn't become slower, but the computer itself was all the time (what I call thinking), making that strange knows when its handling processes. Do uou understand what I mean? I think, if i read your problem, that you maybe should try to strat up with OS 9, instead of OS X. maybe that will work. Or you should give Geneforge more memory to work (or give that memory to OS X) with. I also ha problems of this kind, but then the computer claimed that the program didn't have enough memory. Also, that were other programs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatchling Cockatrice Lilith Posted July 6, 2005 Share Posted July 6, 2005 If he's using 10.3, chances are he can't boot in OS 9. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Easygoing Eyebeast Thralni Posted July 6, 2005 Share Posted July 6, 2005 He can't? I thought there is this option to boot in OS 9. is this option deleted in 10.3? Because i think my mother, who uses 10.3, can. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magnificent Ornk Drakefyre Posted July 6, 2005 Share Posted July 6, 2005 It actually depends on the model of your computer, not the OS, or it did until recently. Try running Classic without extensions by holding down 'Shift' when loading Classic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garrulous Glaahk Slp006 Posted July 7, 2005 Author Share Posted July 7, 2005 Although it was a good idea, turning off the extensions did absolutely nothing for the slowness. I'm thinking I'll have to do some sort of update/reinstall of my Classic. And for the record, I am unable to boot in 9. I would if I could, but the folks at Cupertino did away with that.
