22:49 Awesome G5-machine for MorphOS!
Nice to see that Encore's demos work on the computer without any problems and additional actions. I use PowerBookG4 for development and test these demos, engine and game (work in progress). My goal was create framework (called engine) which use clean MorphOS without any additional software/libraries. Demos/games should work in multitasking, use 3D accelerator and always allow to switch between screen and window.
Best regards,
MDW/Encore
awesome! love your work!!!
@@ChrisEdwardsRestoration Thank you. I am honored. 😀😀
This machine is by far my forever G5. I have had 2 in my 46 years, I kept the one I have now, same hardware as yours Chris. I bought the same card 4 years ago for $179. I haver run linux, macos, and even morphos. Great machines everybody! If you ever have a chance to snag one, dont hesitate!
LOL! Slayer Christmas Album. I never heard Seasons in the Abyss called that!
Great Stuff as Always Dr Chris. The “No One Cares” segment had me in stitches 😂 MorphOS looks great 👍🏻 Cheers 🍻
Interesting and entertaining. Regarding root canals, got my first last year and as long as there's plenty of pain killers, (drugs) it was totally fine. The tooth is still working fine too. So yeah, I'm not in search of more root canals but I think with a good mouth surgeon crew, sure, victory goes to modern medicine with us as benefactors. Now, universal health care ........ oh yeah, Mericka.
I've watch a few videos that touch on Morph OS, and yeah, a great next step would be to get something called 'Any OS' and on the fly like Morph OS seems to be doing. I'm thinking of using the Ventoy or some Virtual boot box setup on an older win box I've got around here. Not necessarily switchable on the fly but better than getting locked up in one of the main eco-systems. 🔐I think it's referred to as lock-in.
I'll watch as software like morph os develops. Thanks for the entertaining vids! Like the jokes and innuendos all over the place. :-)
I had a pegasus II board running an earlier version of morph os on it, and really liked it. Sold it a good few years ago and wish I had hung onto it now, since newer PPC boards and macs are so much more expensive now. Same goes for the expanded A4000CR I had. I was getting a bit overrun with everything I had and needed to declutter though.
am currently eagerly awaiting my AGP g5 dual 2gz....... currier cant come quickly enough... £78 (UK) shipped..... love MorphOS but will probably go FreeBSD. Thanks for the video buddy ;)
I have also a MacPro G5 dual core 2 ghz tower with MorphOS.note that an iMac G5 was 2.1ghz (iSight) and it runs blistering fast, also 1.5ghz G4 macmini also crazy fast which I own both with MorphOS 3.18 (Brings life back to these obsolete Macs) Great Video Chris
21:18 A shaky starfield? What a Phenomena Enigma!
Shaky? Runs smooth on my computer at least...
@@JellyPowered It's a reference to the Enigma demo by Phenomena.. there's a part where they mock their own starfield.
2:30 Pins are rotated on the C19 IEC plug. Apple just wanting to be different again.
Chris rulez. Very nice Video. I have been using MOS since 2001 (BPPC/Bvision card yet, since version 0.8 until 1.4.5🙂) and with every update is MorphOS better and better. 👍 Now i'm using on PBG4, PMacG5.
Hey Chris. I have been using MorphOS for over a dozen years, currently on two PowerBooks G4 and an iMac G5. I was thinking about such a PowerMac, but there is no room for it at home. and Slayer rocks, it's probably their best album!
Thanks Chris you are a champion. cheers
Damit, now i have to dig out my G5 😂
Sweet! More "More-Foss" stuff!
I've got the water cooled G5 quad 2.3ghz. The water cooler failed so I've been trying to figure out how to fix it. I look forward to triple booting OS X, Linux and Morph OS on it.
I've seen people convert them to air-cooled.
Ah, so this thing, for whatever reason, needed a C21 Plug and not the usual C13 one...
The C21 are becoming more common for 1kw+ ATX PSU these days...
my g5s never had issue with ssds at all .my quad runs dual ssds in raid 0
I’ve got the 2.3ghz with the same video card though I run morphos on a 2ghz iMac.
my G4 mini might be in the backk of my garage, no clue
Amiga rulez, Chris rulez
I bought the same card and couldn't get it to work. Turns out the card is a PC card reflashed with the ROM needed for OS X. It will work for that. I finally found a X1900 G5 card and it works with MorphOS. My G5 is the 2.3GHz dual core PCIe machine. What did you do to get it to work???
Plugged it in. Didnt do anything
I have the same issue. I had to purchase a PC version of this card. Flash it with Mac firmware (3 years ago). Now the FAN runs at full speed and doesn't work with MOS (black screen). 😿
Sorry to hear about your trip to the fang-merchant :( Least you have some new toys to distract you and are feeling the love from some of your peeps.
Uh. Thanks?
@@ChrisEdwardsRestoration The root canal. Feel for you having that one. Made me wince.
@@VK2FVAX Chris *could* be like Bill Murray's character in Little Shop of Horrors... You never know!
that plastic part on the back.. is wifi antenna
This had no airport installed as its a didferent model than the g5 was
@@ChrisEdwardsRestoration = not the card but the antenna channel …for the installable option..
Kind of redundant to run MorphOS on a 64-bit G5 as it is a 32-bit operating system: it’s not going to take advantage of all the registers.
Next, the maximum RAM MorphOS can “see” is 1.7GB so anything else is a waste (for MorphOS at least, Linux and Mac OS X will utilise it fine!)
I run MorphOS on a PowerBook G4 15” Aluminium with a 256 GB SSD and 2 GB RAM.
Now now, when he gets the 2.7Ghz G5 CPUs, that is the fastest processor Morph current runs on, isn't it? And he can still do all the Mac stuff.
"Not going to take advantage of all the registers" - of course it will. It's PowerPC, not x86_64, where you can't access half the CPU from 32bit code.
Hello Chris.
Definitively i prefer Amithlon 😂
and MorphOS is not free!
Remember you have a challenge for amithlon with amiga os 3.2.1😎
Yeah i remember. Got many things on that to do list
I Amithlon free nowadays? I have missed the info if it is. In any case I love new features in MorphOS too much to go back to 3.x level ever again :)
Amithlon is dead for many years and uses AmigaOS 3.x which was frozen many years. It is incomparable with MorphOS.
You are on fire😂
Guess I'm not the only one to flip off computers
Chris! I was teased with those demos and now I will get my PPC G5 out of the closet. Question: how do I get the same demos? Part of Chrysalis 3.18?
Easy2install actually but that is a part of the pack also
How do you read your old files on a 3.5 disk?
Gotek usb if you have to
Hi Chris, where did you buy your MorphOS license? I thought MorphOS was dead because there is no option to buy it on their web site.
It’s been a while but pretty sure you buy it within the os itself. They released an update last year around may/June
Its a registration inside morphs itself then you use your pc or mac to fill the rest out when you get the email from the team. Easy easy
Same spec as my G5., complete with its great but Morph OS un friendly graphics card. I have an ATI card that just needs to be firmware hacked to work.
ATI is unfriendly regarding their support. If it just needs a to be hacked, you can do it and share the MorphOS ATI driver with the world. Win-Win for everyone.
@@guidomersmann9744 The card I was going to put in it is a pc card, you can hack the firmware to the Mac version, theres a fair few videos on CZcams on how to do, it but basically you need an old PCI graphics card to see whats going on and the PCIX card you want to mod. Should work the same afterwards except no power over the video connector as in the genuine Mac compliant ones. Not a problem for me as I ditched my Formac screens years ago in favour of LED widescreens that were far better and a quarter of the price.
@@pkf4124 It is still an ATI card, which means the stuff is undocumented, which results in no MorphOS support. If the card works with OSX or not, does not matter.
"Why do you have to be such a w...".
"Weird science" for previous century?
He gets off on it.
Perhaps you can help me Chris if you will I have a amiga 500 pal loads everything as long as it does not includes multiple disk swapping what do you think is going on
Some require a external disk drive also. Not everything runs df0
@@ChrisEdwardsRestoration no hard drive its kickstart 1.3 tried both DFO and DFI , Pinball Fantasies disk 1 DFO 3.5 and Pinball Fantasies DF1 Gotek disk 2 just crashes same story any program with 2 or more disks including Pen Pal but Deluxe Galaga and Great Giana Sisters is fine by the looks of the pal rev 5 board all the chips are original l just got me wondering if a ram chip or a solder point is going bad what ever the case I'll have post it overseas for repair just trying to get a grips with a direction
@@elwoodpot14 i would start by booting Amiga Test kit 1.2 and running some tests. you may have a 44256k ram chip that bit the poo. it happens. they are cheap.
@@ChrisEdwardsRestoration Thanks Chris I will do it tomorrow I will let you know of the results when I'm finished
@@ChrisEdwardsRestoration Well I download and ran amiga test kit 1.2.1 nothing came up frustrated pressed a few pressed a few chips down processor , kickstart and the Paula and it started loading normally I can now use programs with more than one disk. since I don't know when the last time it was used was it could just need I good clean well its my first amiga so I'm learning
Is there a Morph OS for Intel CPUs also?
Nope
There was a proof of concept of MorphOS for Intel CPU's shown years ago, but I don't know if work on that project was cancelled, or if it still continues. I haven't been keeping up with news on MorphOS for a few years. There are a few very talented developers who created and continue to work on MorphOS, but I don't know what the prospects for it's future are now.
SEPAI?!
Imagine paying ~£70 on a licence for a niche proprietary operating system that only works on specific old computers that can't be reused unless the computer is dead.
it can be re used, or transferred but would deactivate any other license you hold. i own and use the two i have now so i purchased it. I have no problem in supporting
Eh em! €79 thank you!
@@ChrisEdwardsRestoration I was gonna take my Pegasos II MorphOS licence before selling the hw and use it on my mini G4 but I was told I have to prove that the original computer is broken/beyond repair which was not the case. Not willing to spend another 80 odd euros to get a new licence.
Imagine some people paying 70 for drinks/food on a Friday night :)
@@JellyPowered When you put it like this, I might re-think... Still expensive in my opinion though.
Why the title of best PowerMac G5? I have a 2.7GHz dual G5 model, and the last PowerPC model, which is the quad core 2.5GHz G5, which I would say both are better than the model you received. Mine need the coolant systems refurbished, with new "O'-rings", before I try to use them again, as I don't want to risk coolant failure and damage to the PSU's which were stupidly located at the bottom of the case.
Well, I wouldn't call the quad G5 better as there is a severe weekness: The watercooling. The maintenance free Apple watercooling system needs maintenance and I will bet there today there is not a single machine that still works correctly without having been serviced.
My 2.7 is still in use. Getting ready to put new thermal past on after almost 20 years.
@@TLang-el6sk the quads rarely leak unlike the 2.7s the single pump 2.5s dont leak either i have 8 g5s 3 of which are liquid cooled .
Hello, I am from the Dominican Republic, I have a Power Mac g5 7.2 at 2 GHz, 2.5 GB of RAM, I have a problem, I have tried to install MorphOS, I have tried different versions 3.15 and .3.18 and I get the same problem when trying to install via USB when I download the MorphOS installation screen the screen goes completely white please someone help me I have tried for 6 days and nothing has worked for me it is worth mentioning that I have not tried with CD only with USB. Thank you
I always have used cd not usb as the usb is for the Pegasus boards or the others listed and not for mac. You also need to have an ati card not nvidia
Sorry for stupid question - But do you have Radeon card on this PM ?
@@flowcomp si ati 9600 pro 64 mb
@@SoftwareOS so as Chris mentioned , try install from cdrom.
@flowcomp yes i showed it in the video in detail
I really hate MorphOS. I always feel like I am using a half-baked Frankestein OS with inconsistencies in UX and UI.
You gotta watch out for a coolant leak... it's a doozy...
If Star Trek taught me anything, you can never fix a coolant leak.. Your only option is to eject the warp core.
Most of the G5s were air cooled. A faster models were liquid cooled. In the PCIe G5s only the quad was liquid cooled...
@@johnnyc.kitchens4073I was under the impression they all were, exactly because a coolant leak was the reason they all failed and ended up on my repair desk.
In an air cooled system? I think he mentioned that his machine has a single CPU (2 cores), to my knowledge the only watercoled machines were the dual CPU (quad core) ones.
