Your rendition of the intro/setup song gave me a chuckle. That was great! The 14 in. iBook G4 takes me back to college (university) 2005. I had the 1.42 GHz model customized with an 80 GB HDD and later a RAM upgrade to 1.5 GBs. I carried that thing everywhere with me on campus. After college, I continued to carry the iBook around with me at work. Sadly, I dropped that iBook in 2008 causing it have a small crack near the center bottom of the display. Finally, in 2011, I dropped the iBook again and that time the entire display went and that was the last time I used it.
I once replaced the power plug of a 14-in G4 iBook because the cable had worn through too close to the plug to be repaired. Turns out the plug is a 2.5mm stereo audio plug of tip-ring-sleeve configuration. The tip has no power connection, the ring is 24 volts negative and the sleeve is 24 volts positive. The metal tube surrounding it is to prevent silly people from inserting the 24 volt power supply into an audio port. My "fix" worked in that the laptop charged but there was no multi-coloured illuminated light around the face of the connector that met up with the body of the laptop.
The first OS X Mac laptop I spent any significant amount of time with was a 14" iBook I borrowed from my school, the 12" one was strange to me. I miss the clamshell ones though they had a terrible screen resolution.
I've got one. Got it cheap, maxed the ram and put in a 256gb SSD. I've only spent around £30 on it. Works great but struggling with making boot drives. Its running Panther but want to put in Tiger (for Shuriken) or Leopard (for Sorbet).
Love your content, I'm already in your server and boosted it, tho it's interesting to see a macbook display size *THIS* big, currently using a lenovo legion laptop that has 15 inches.
One thing that can be done with Apple laptops with dud/dodgy keyboards is to position a Bluetooth keyboard on top of the existing one: the feet on the BT keyboard neatly straddle the built-in keyboard without depressing any keys. You also get a sloped typing angle. I have used this trick with 12 and 14-in iBooks, 12, and 15-in PowerBooka and a pre-unibody 15-in MacBook Pro.
Amazing how it manages to play RUclips at... almost 10 frames per... minute... I had the 12" version back then, it's still somewhere in my parents' house. Maybe I'll play around with it some day. It might be able to run some lightweight Linux or BSD and be actually usable then.
Damn now you made me finally buy a 20 € iBook G4 14 inch .. 1.33 GHz which is the equvalent of my 1.2 GHz 12 inch device. Both had one more successor: 1.33 GHz 12 inch, as well as an 1.42 GHz 14 inch. Just tell me, which version of Minecraft did you download and show in the Video?
I had a 14 inch iBook G4 from 2004 to 2009. It was great until I put 10.5 Leopard on it… then it crawled. The letters wearing off was a common issue. A later revision of the keyboard laser etched the letters into the plastic, and it never happened to me again after AppleCare covered it.
Limiting FPS to 60 (or rather the refresh rate of your display) makes the rendering take only as much resources as it needs to achieve 100% performance and not waste resources on rendering frames that will never be displayed.
I have the 2005 version of this. It's stored away with old stuff. I was just wondering if it would still work. TBH I don't like the look of the current versions of Mac books. Apple seems to have gotten in a rut, and everything just looks the same and BORING now.
I just watched your video on my own 12.1 inch Ibook g4. It was awful, (not the video, the playback. It was unusable. But im going to try other methods.)

I do have a iBook G3 of the same size and despite it being a snow model its not white but rather gray and has a fancier font for the iBook logo
Yeah, most of the Snow G3 iBooks were a translucent white plastic with a silvery palmrest and transparent keyboard. My G3 is a 500MHz 12" from 2001.

You'd need to download the Power PC port of Minecraft it can be found on Macintosh garden.
The WASD keys are completely worn! The previous person who had it really did a lot of gaming on it.
Not likely, this is MacOS after all
@trabant601ePPC Macs had lots of games, actually.

Fork for dog never fails to rip our heads off😍😍😍
Forgot how chunky the old iBooks were!
it's wild to think there was a time where we had to buy new MacOS releases
that looks like eucalyptus oil. also, I like how your free 12" has a ripped out kensington lock 😎
I’ve got one of these in very good condition, and a 12” Powerbook. Pieces of Apple history rather than things I use.
How well does this MacBook run with MorphOS? And can you get Minecraft running on MorphOS?
you can just change the key caps by removing from 12 inch to 14 inch. One more thing i will recommend is to upgrade the ram to 1.5gb
I have bad luck with laptop keycaps, I end up breaking the switches

UK plug! Also used in Kenya.
i wish i was as cool as this guy
I wonder how that Minecraft would run with optifine or sodium
This version of Minecraft for PowerPC comes with Optifine pre-installed, it's what helps it run at all
The plug is from the UK

Only makes sense if you enable vsync or the game just craps out at more than 60.
Command Q skips the setup :p
