Old games crashing?

Hello all,
I am trying to run my kids old PC games (which also include Mac versions in the same CD) on my iBook. A large number of them, though, crashes frequently while running under classic. Any ideas about what can I do to make them less unstable?
Thanks!

Hi, finwhiz, and welcome to Apple Discussions. Whether you can get the games to run stably in Classic mode depends on the design of each individual game. As a class of software, games may be less compatible with Classic mode than any other, because it has been so commonplace for game programmers to play fast and loose with Apple's software design guidelines. Specifically, game programmers have often presumed that a game will have direct access to the hardware of the computer it's running on, to change the display resolution, color depth, audio settings, etc. That may be true when a game runs in OS 9, but it isn't true when the same game runs in Classic: In Classic, only OS X (and the user, through OS X's System Preferences) has access to the hardware and hardware-related settings. A Classic application that tries to adjust the hardware by itself will fail, and if its programmer hasn't given it a graceful alternative (like asking you to make the necessary changes yourself), the game is likely to crash or quit unexpectedly.
Some old games may be incompatible even with pure OS 9 (without OS X running at all). OS 9 introduced changes with which some old software was not compatible, though most software that ran well in OS 8.6 also ran well in 9.x, and other apps got minor updates for OS 9 compatibility. (I presume you've made sure you have the latest versions of all the games in question.)
Generally speaking, if a game runs well in pure OS 9.2.2 but not in Classic, you should just start your computer up in OS 9.2.2 (if possible) in order to use it, because it isn't compatible with Classic. If it won't run reliably even when you start the computer up in OS 9.2.2, or if your computer can't start up at all in OS 9.2.2, I recommend running the game in question on an old Mac in whatever OS it seems to like, not on any computer on that has OS X installed.

  • Old laptop crashed - how do I get the music stored on iPod into new laptop?

    My old laptop crashed so I cannot follow the instructions for moving my iTunes library to a new computer because I can no longer go into my old iTunes and switch it to manual update and enable disk use. How can I get the music stored on my iPod into my new iTunes? I have a 60GB iPod video. Thanks

    Connect your iPod to your computer. If it is set to update automatically you'll get a message that it is linked to a different library and asking if you want to link to this one and replace all your songs etc, press "Cancel". Pressing "Erase and Sync" will irretrievably remove all the songs from your iPod. Your iPod should appear in the iTunes source list from where you can change the update setting to manual and use your iPod without the risk of accidentally erasing it. Also when using most of the utilities listed below your iPod needs to be enabled for disc use, changing to manual update will do this by default. Check the "manually manage music and videos" box in Summary then press the Apply button: Managing content manually on iPod
    Once you are safely connected there are a few things you can do to restore your iTunes from the iPod. If you have any iTunes Music Store purchases the transfer of purchased content from the iPod to authorised computers was introduced with iTunes 7. You'll find details in this article: Copying iTunes Store purchases from your iPod to a computer
    The transfer of content from other sources such as songs imported from CD is designed by default to be one way from iTunes to iPod. However there are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve the music files and playlists from your iPod. You'll find that they have varying degrees of functionality and some will transfer movies, videos, photos, podcasts and games as well. Have a look at the web pages and documentation, this is just a small selection of what's available, they are generally quite straightforward.

    There is also a manual method of accessing the iPod's hard drive and copying songs back to iTunes on Windows or a Mac. The procedure is a bit involved and won't recover playlists but if you're interested it's available at this link: Two-way Street: Moving Music Off the iPod
    Whichever of these retrieval methods you choose, keep your iPod in manual mode until you have reloaded your iTunes and you are happy with your playlists etc then it will be safe to return it auto-sync. I would also advise that you get yourself an external hard drive and back your stuff up, relying on an iPod as your sole backup is not a good idea and external drives are comparatively inexpensive these days, you can get loads of storage for a reasonable outlay.

  • Sound Card Problem, or Driver Problem? Games crash, when they didn't befo

    Not sure what the problem is, but seems to be a sound problem of some sort. I have just re-installed Vista 64. And now when I try to play BF242, the game crashes before I even see any kind of gameplay. It also instantly crashes when I click on the audio options tab. I have installed the latest drivers from the site. I have even uninstalled them, and launched the game without any drivers, and the game runs perfectly fine, but only without sound.
    But I've been able to play BF242 before, but it would evenutally crash after a while, but at least I was able to get into the game. So knowing that Ive been able to play before, and it played without any drivers, I dug up some drivers that I know I had working at one point when the game was playing. And it still crashes before it gets into the game.
    So this makes me wonder, is this really a driver problem or a soundcard problem?
    All sounds are perfectly fine elsware, music, movies, OS tones, web, etc. Crysis runs perfectly fine. Company of Heros Crashes, Quake Wars crashed about 0 mins into a game. Team Fortress 2 runs perfectly fine. Battlefield 2 instantly crashes.
    Here's my specs:
    Vista 64 Ultimate
    Asus P5W DH Deluxe
    Asus nVidia 8800 GTX
    4gig Corsair XMS2 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 800 (PC2 6400) Dual Channel
    Powersupply Antec True Power Trio TP3-550 550W ATX2V Power Supply with Three 2V Rails
    Sound Blaster x-fi fatality (whatever the one that comes with the front computer interface)
    Any help would be great. I'd hate to go buy a new sound card just to try it, unless I had a pretty good idea that it was the issue.

    I think I found the problem. It was the physical card itself. I pulled my old Audialogy card out of my old machine, and swapped it. Now BF242 runs.
    And mine never went to a black screen, and had to hard reset. It just dumped right to the desktop with a message "bf242.exe has stopped working."

While connecting the iPod to the computer on Windows with iTunes installed hold down the Shift + Ctrl keys together. This will stop the iPod from auto-syncing with iTunes and the iPod will appear in the source list. Wait until you are sure the iPod has mounted, and that it will not auto sync and then you can let the keys go.

  • GTX 670 PE OC - Game Crashing

    I have had this card for close to 6 months, and have just started experiencing issues with crashing. I constantly get the TDR error and sometimes have to actually force the computer to reboot otherwise the screen will just stay black. I can move the mouse and see the secondary display but nothing shows on the primary display but the taskbar and black screen.
    My current setup is as follows
    i5 3570K
    16Gb Corsair 1600
    MSI Z77A-GD65 Gaming
    670 PE OC
    Corsair HX750
    CM Hyper 212 Evo
    Rosewill Blackhawk Case
    I did run Memtest and found that I had some bad RAM, so I replaced it ran Memtest again and everything checked out fine. I also ran the Intel stress test for an hour and found no issues.
    I had this card in an Asus P8P67-Pro before and had no issues whatsoever.
    Also I just bought an Asus VG23PQE for my primary monitor, could the 120 - 144Hz display rates be causing the issue?
    For example, last night I played Metro Last Light for over an hour with no issues, then suddenly the game crashes to a black screen. Cannot open task manager or anything, the black screen covers all applications. I have to either sign out and then sign back in using CTRL+ALT+DEL or manually reset the computer. Also if I sign out and then sign back in, if I try to relaunch the game it immediately crashes. I have to reboot the computer in order to play any games.
    I was using driver 320.18 then I tried the latest Beta 320.49, then back to 306.xx and always have the same issues of crashing. Could it be the motherboard causing all the issues? Just getting really frustrated as this seems to keep happening regardless of what I try to do to fix it.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    I checked the pins extremely closely and they are spot on, I re seated the CPU and cooler and used Prolimatech PK-3 this time instead of Arctic Silver 5. As a side note I have to say that this thermal paste is quite a bit better than AC5. I am old school so I have been using Arctic Silver since the Williamette days with RDRAM when I would spread the stuff on the CPU heatsink. I tried this time just using the vertical line method.
    Anyways, I think it is all down to the Nvidia driver causing the crashes, I actually have installed a MSI GTX770 Gaming and am no longer, thumbs crossed, having the issues. It seems that the 770 runs cooler at idle, and if I ramp up the fan speed it is much quieter than the 670. I think that the mobo is fine, again possibly the Nvidia drivers?
    As a side note, flobelix I also have the 830 256Gb drive as my primary.

  • My old computer crashed and I lost my old library of recorded CD's and new music.  I downloaded iTunes again and found my old account info.  How do I add a new CD without deleting all of my music on my iPod?

    My old Computer crashed and I lost my old library of recorded CD's and tunes.  iTunes says I must delete everything off my iPod in order to add a new CD.  It also said I already have an account which I was able to locate.  I don't know how to get into my old account.  I think that would solve everything.  I have Windows XP.  I'd appreciate any input.

    No.
    All iTunes content on your iPod Touch should be in your iTunes library on your computer, and your iTunes library on your computer should be included with your computer's backup along with all other important data - stored on an external drive or some other external media used for backup purposes only.
    When music was purchased on a CD, if the CD was lost and you returned to the store where the CD was purchased with your receipt, were you given a replacement CD?
    The same applies here.

    Carefully follow steps 1-9 outlined by wjosten in this post: https://discussions.apple.com/message/13356770#13356770.  This will not, however, avoid wiping any non-purchased media from your phone (ripped CDs, etc.) as this is only synced one way: from your computer to your phone.  You will have to either rebuild your iTunes library with this content and sync again to restore it to your phone, or purchase 3rd party software to copy it from your phone to iTunes prior to syncing (such as Touch Copy).

    Also, I have lectures and photos, etc. on my iTouch that I don't want to lose.
    I've tried a few of the iPod copy programs-the free ones and the ones you have to pay for, but I can't find one that will work for ALL my content on an iTouch.
    Right now, I can't get anything from my iTouch to iTunes, and I can't update my iTouch with my new iTunes purchases, so I'm stuck!  Help!

    Also-I tried to use my backup hard drive, but I wasn't able to drag/transfer/send/move any of my muic files onto my iTouch when the iTouch was connected to my computer.  I can't figure out why it won't let me do that.
