I discovered that the Tiger Server VM would kernel panic at boot in VMWare Fusion (v8.5.10). Before I packed for my flight, I installed VMWare Fusion and copied an existing 'Mac OS X 10.4 Server' virtual machine from my Mac Pro, ready for some old-school Xcode.Īfter the first stop on my trip, I tried firing up the Tiger VM to load in my Xcode project on the MacBook Pro. The MBP is now singing happily with the last supported version of macOS High Sierra (10.13.6), 8GB of RAM, a 256GB SSD and a new battery. So, the PowerBook G4 12' stayed at home and a MacBook Pro 13' (Early 2011), which I recently scored for a song, came with me.

However, in my interstate travels over this holiday period, I decided I would take only one portable Mac with me which could also provide a modern web development environment.

I usually pack two fully charged batteries and swap them out by early afternoon for a full day's work. The PowerBook G4 is a pleasure to work on with its unsurpassed edge-to-edge keyboard design, concave caps and plenty of key travel. Normally, this poses no issues as I take my little 12' PowerBook on the road each day and find myself powering through countless hours of coding on the old Mac.

I have been quietly working on a backwards-compatible software project in Xcode for the past year or more and have found myself relying heavily on my PowerBook G4 12' with its Mac OS X 10.4.11 environment for running Xcode 2.5. (Screenshot of Xbench disk test results - It's Fast!)Īnd now a little backstory on my desire to run Tiger on a modern Mac. (Screenshot of the Geekbench 2.2.0 32-bit score - single core) The major advantage here is that this is a (nearly) free option as Apple have provided the Mac OS X Server 10.4.7 (Universal) Build 8K1079 image as a free download for registered developers. I then installed my favourite FTP client - Transmit v3.7 (Tiger compatible version from ) to connect and share files between systems. To get around this, I enabled 'Remote Login' in the host system preferences which enables SSH and SFTP. No Shared folder option between the host and guest systems.The cursor occasionally skips a beat - nothing unbearable, but it is not quite as fluid as expected - try adjusting the tracking speed settings in System Preferences - same goes for scrolling speed, which I slowed right down.Maximum RAM allocation is 4GB - hardly a problem for Tiger though.Disk read/write speeds are fast! See XBench screenshot.Networking works as expected (I ran the default NAT option).Boot time: 11 seconds from hitting Start in the VBox window to a ready desktop! (not a saved state).It will also run with SMP for putting more cores into Tiger, but I found the little MBP got a bit too hot running like this and for what I need, the single-core performance in Tiger is plenty. For reference, Geekbench 2.2.0 single core results hit 3302 points. Certainly faster than VMware Fusion and substantially faster than running an emulated PowerPC Tiger via QEMU on the same hardware. $ VBoxManage setextradata 'VM Name' VBoxInternal2/EfiGraphicsResolution 1920x1080
