Play old games on new ipod;

I purchased games with my old IPOD classic (how do I know if it's a fifth generation, a classic or a sixth generation ipod? My old ipod was 30 gig and I bought 3 games for it. After that ipod took a dive (literally), I purchased a new ipod 80 gig - I believe sixth generation? While my old games show up under "applications" in iTunes, they DO NOT show up or synch with new Ipod.
Since I have new ipod - are those games no longer usable? at 4.99 each? At least itunes should provide an upgrade to the games already purchased and licensed to the new sixth generation version?

Playing old games on new Mac

Hello,
I have a macbook pro and i want to play this old powerPC mac game called Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis. Seeing as how my computer is intel based, i dont have classic environment. I put the game CD into my computer and it reads, but doesnt allow me to play the game. when i click the icon to start the game, it gives an error message:
"you cannot open the application becase it is not suported on this system."
i know there has to be a way for me to get this game going. any ideas?

Hi, Atturo -
Apple does not support Classic or OS 9 on any Intel-based machine.
However, there are some 3rd-party emulators available, each of which allows the use of certain pre-OSX OS's on an Ontel Mac. This article discusses some of them -

The one I've seen mentioned the most is SheepShaver. There's more info about it here -

Whether any of them will work sufficiently well for your purposes is a different issue. Many games do not work well, or at all, in an emulatorPrograms which require direct access to the machine;s hardware, such as many games do, usually will not run well, or at all, in an emulator or equivalent environment.
It may be simpler for you to look around for an older used machine, like an iMac of appropriate vintage, for this purpose - such machines can be got for not much money.

Ever since I updated the Bejeweled Blitz on my 3G iPod, The game kept crashing so I deleted & re-installed it.
Sadly, I now can't play the game on my iPod anymore because new version is compatible with the 4G & iSo or higher only.
What should I do to get my purchased game back?
Please fix this problem ASAP!

Playing Old Games

I've been trying to play old games on my emac, it has Classic on it, but I can't get Where in Time is Carmen Sandiego to install, the one game I really want to play. lol! Is there a way I can make it work, I am desperate to? I know it was originally made for 7.something but I thought it should be able to install on Classic but it won't. Can I hook up my old G3? Would that work? Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. This is also the only Carmen Game that is not OSX (native).

I will try and boot Classic natively when I get home.
There is no such beast as boot Classic natively. You either boot Mac OS 9, or use Classic. Powerbook G4s with USB ports on the rear of the machine can boot Mac OS 9. Powerbook G4 with USB ports on the side of their keyboards can only use Classic. Mac OS X 10.5 and later don't allow running the Classic environment, but will on Powerbook G4s with USB ports on the rear of the machine allow booting into Mac OS 9.
If your Mac supports booting into Mac OS 9, you will have installed the Mac OS 9 drivers as stated here:
http://support.apple.com/kb/TA26834?viewlocale=en_US
and then installed Mac OS 9 that either came bundled with your Mac, or later retail version of Mac OS 9 which looks like * with no update or upgrade on the label. Finally, Apple menu -> System Preferences -> Startup Disk will let you switch to Mac OS 9 by selceting the Mac OS 9 system folder and selecting restart. Macs post the 9.2.1 release can only use their prebundled Mac OS 9 disc or restore discs to install Mac OS 9. Macs released after the July 2002 Jaguar 10.2 release, have a restore installer that installs the Mac OS 9 system folder on their prebundled discs.
If your Mac has 10.4.11 or earlier installed and supports Classic, Apple menu -> System Preferences -> Classic can be set to launch the Classic environment when an application is launched, or your machine boots into Mac OS X, or when you manually select it from the System Preference. That same restriction of installer discs applies, but no Mac OS 9 driver needs to be installed. Unfortunately Classic lacks certain driver support for graphics and sound making some games lack any support whatsoever.

Using old iPod Video games on new iPod Classic?

Hi all-
I bought several games for my old iPod Video (don't know what generation it was but it was about two years old). These games include Mini Golf and Zuma. My old iPod broke, so I recently purchased an iPod Classic. When I connected it to sync to my computer, these two games and iQuiz did not show up in the games tab of the iPod sync list. I have read things about older iPod games not working on newer models, but these games are still available from the iTunes store and are said to be compatible with the Classic. So my questions are:
1. Why do my older iPod games not work with my new iPod, though the same games are still available to be bought in iTunes and are said to be compatible?
2. Is there something I could do to make them appear in the sync list?
3. If I were to buy these games again from the iTunes store, would they work on my new iPod? Is there some kind of update that happened to them that render the old versions useless on my new iPod?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

1. Why do my older iPod games not work with my new iPod, though the same games are still available to be bought in iTunes and are said to be compatible?
The earlier releases of the games were not designed to be forward compatible to a newer iPod that hadn't been designed at the time they were written. The new versions currently available in the store are explicty designed to work on both the 5th & 6th gen. iPods and 3rd & 4th gen. nanos. They won't work on the iPod Touch or iPhone should you ever get one.
2. Is there something I could do to make them appear in the sync list?
No.
3. If I were to buy these games again from the iTunes store, would they work on my new iPod?
Yes.
Is there some kind of update that happened to them that render the old versions useless on my new iPod?
Yes, the iPod got updated making it incompatible will the older versions of the games.

Playing Games in new Ipod Touch

I bought a new Ipod Touch last week and the games that need the movement of the ipod are not working. In addition, the orientation of the screen do not change if I rotate the ipod. Did it happen to anyone and how did you solve it?

It's under warranty. Take it back.

Games for new iPOD classic

I just bougth a new iPOD classic. One friend that came to USA to Colombia bougth the iPOD and now I want to install some games. But I saw that if I want to buy games I need an account and an address from USA. I don't have that options... how can I get some games for my new iPOD classic.
Thanks...

Um.... yeah I bought my Classic to play music on. I rarely play video games but there were two I had to buy since they were available for the classic, Ms Pacman and Tetris. I also use mine to watch videos that I purchase from iTunes, I have several TV shows seasons.
Why does it matter what I use my iPod for?

New Games? Old Games For New 6 Generation?

When will new games be out? When will the old games like Zuma come out for 6 Generation and if we already own the old games will they work for the 6 generation ipods?
I bought Zuma for my Ipod Classic and was hoping that it would work for it but nope... Itunes is lacking games.... WE WANT MORE !!!

When will new games be out?
Apple has set this up as a user to user forum and unfortunately they don't share their plans for the future with us. : - (
Your best bet is to submit your feedback to the man with this form: http://www.apple.com/feedback/itunes.html
(It says Request Music but it should do for Games as well.)

Playing old games on OS X version 10.5.3

I can't play my favorite game ever because it says the computer doesn't support the "classic environment".
Is there a way around this?
Thanks.

See my FAQs*:
http://www.macmaps.com/macosxnative.html
http://www.macmaps.com/macgamepages.html
As you'll see any old games that require Classic essentially require an operating system that hasn't been updated since 2001.
Booting into Mac OS 9 gives you full driver support of Classic applications.
Using Classic only gives you partial support of Classic applications.
10.5 eliminates Classic, but still supports booting into 9 if you have a pre-2003 Mac (the 1 to 1.25 Ghz MDD G4 with no Firewire 800 which was available in 2003 and later new was really a pre-2003 Mac) that is 867 Mhz or faster.
PowerPC Macs released 2003 and later could only use Classic when booting into 10.4.11 or earlier. A Firewire hard drive or second partition allows you to have 10.4.11 or earlier simultaneously installed with 10.5 on the same Mac allowing you to use those older software titles.
2006 and later Macs use the Intel CPU, and they can't boot into 9, nor can they use Classic.
You can find used and refurbished Macs*:
http://www.macmaps.com/usedrefurbished.html
which will allow you to run older games if they haven't been upgraded to current compatibility.
The irony is, 2006 and later Macs have better hardware support for all Windows and Linux operating systems than older Macs, thus allowing you to run in virtualization Windows or Linux at native speeds, and giving you full compatibility with Windows and Linux games which was only possible through emulation before.

Old game on new mac

Is there any way to play an old game (Traitors Gate) on my MacBook Pro. It's written for Mac OS 7.5. Are there any emulators out there? Or can I install OS 9 as a virtual machine (via Parallels or similar)? I have so many good adventure games that they just don't make anymore and have been itching to replay them since it's been so long and it would be as if playing them for the first time. (The other one is Titanic: Adventure Out of Time). I tried playing it in Vista (via Parallels) and even though it was do-able, it was very laggy.
(To think that the hardware that was available when the games were new pales in comparison to what's out there now and it seems as though the game is too much for my current computer...lol)

Hi! Short answer is No is isn't worth the effort. Tom

Transferring old data to new iPod -- will it remove new apps that come with my new one?

My old iPod Touch is a 2nd generation, IOS 4.2.1, and I now have an iPod Touch 4th generation arriving with either IOS 5 or 6.
I want to transfer my game apps progress -- which I don't want to lose!! -- from the old device to the new device, and I've found out from these discussions that I need to make a backup then restore from backup to the new device, treating it not as a new device.
But does this mean that all the new-to-me app features that come pre-loaded on my 4th generation will be wiped out in the process?
Obviously the 4th generation comes with things my 2nd generation never had, and needless to say I want those to still be there when I add all my old games and other apps.
Can anyone assure me that in the "restore from backup" to my new device, everything from my old iPod will be added to my new one, but won't replace and or wipe out of existence any new features already loaded on my new iPod?
My priorities/worries are:
Not losing any game progress in the transfer,
But also not losing any newer factory-loaded apps or features on the newer iPod, in the transfer.
Thanks for any assistance.

Thank you lllaass, this is reassuring!
So the "restore" adds to what's on the new iPod, not throws it all out/replaces -- good to know. Many thanks.
