FROM WIKI: Support for pre-OS X Mac applicationsUnlike the Intel models, a G4 Mac Mini running Mac OS X 10.4 can run Mac OS 9 "Classic" applications, so long as a bootable copy of the OS 9 System Folder is installed from which to run the Classic environment. As of Mac OS X 10.5, the ability to run the Classic Environment was removed.

If you mean 10.9 then I'm afraid not. It can't move past its current OS due to it's hardware limitations.

OSX 10.5 (Tiger) was the last operating system to support PowerPC-based software, and that is what this game is. I don't believe there's any way to get it to run on 10.8 (Mountain Lion) unless the developer releases an updated version. It's a bummer.

Yes, absolutely it does run Mountain Lion, my mini at work (this model) does. When new, it came with the operating system Leopard. It needs to be running Snow Leopard (download from itunes store) before it can be upgraded to Mountain Lion.

Try to run it on medium install. It could be that your MAC can't support the game on full install

Since I don't have your computer in front of me I can't say. The people at Rosetta can and will be able to help you. After installing my version I had to do a system recovery. It took out the program when I did it. The Rosetta folks re-installed it for me on line. They should help you too. The program is often a one time install to prevent it being passed around.

I have an iMac running Snow Leopard and it works great. Highly recommend it. Sorry, no knowledge of functionality with any Windows operating system.

Sorry, I was too brief before from my phone. My Mac mini came with OS 10.9.1, which is Mavericks, I believe. I think all of the Mac Minis being shipped from Apple are currently shipping with Mavericks. The units Amazon's vendors are shipping may be pre-Mavericks, and I do not know if there is an upgrade fee. I went to the Apple web site and there was an update screen that popped right up to go to Mavericks, but I do not know if it is free.

I had a similar bad experience with installing Mavericks on a similar iMac. While the additional memory was helpful, I don't think the newer OSs are exactly compatible with legacy models; we had overheating and random shutdown issues. We eventually rolled back to Snow Leopard and it's been much better since.

Hi, I bought this for my 2009 mac. You need to be running at least mountain lion and preferably Mavericks as these later operating systems can see pc video cards such as this one. With pc video cards you don't get the boot up grey loading screen so it looks like the computer is broken, but it does load and works fine on my system and did do without any trouble at all. I hope this helps. I don't work for Amazon or the manufacturer, I just bought one.

I don't see how you guys are running it on Yosemite. The tech specs clearly say OS 10.7-10.8. Please teach me your wizardry!!!

Yes it will work. As long as it's a 2.5" laptop style hard drive with IDE/ata. As for the OSX 10.9, as long as you format it using your Mac, then I see no reason that it wouldn't work!

Yes , because you have to update your OS in order to run 11. And eight LE won't run on the OS X 11 will run on

I have a Mac mini with Nvidia graphics -- it does NOT work with it. All I get is a black screen.

It depends on your computer- My mac is circa 2012 and runs OSX 10.6.8 and it does not work at all. Extremely disappointing.

No. OS 10 will only run versions 12 & 13. I just went through this on my Macs.

It runs in Linux, and the drivers are fairly simple so they should compile in OS X just fine and pick up the device with CLI monitoring. Not sure if there are gui monitoring tools on the disk for Mac though.
