Re: apple chess for imac g4
I was unable to click on the source forge links with safari. It said the pages are not safe.
But I downloaded the Jose and scid files on my pc , put .dgm files on an usb stick and started it on the iMac.
It installed the two programs. What means dmg ? Kind of zip ??

Glaurung GUI for Mac OS X could be another option for UCI-engines, but imac g4 uses Mac OS 9 if -installation does not work, it was only an approach

Re: apple chess for imac g4
I use a Macbook pro and use Parrallels to run windows in parallel to OSX (for UCI engines and Arena) and a Dos emulator for for Dos Chess programs (can be run directly within OS X).
Runs really well and compensates for the relative lack of Mac chess software.
Especially if you care more about fun than speed/strength.

Re: apple chess for imac g4
I don't think that would work on a PowerPC, unless you had a Windows version for that architecture. Virtual machines cannot emulate other architectures.
I am not familiar with Apple software at all. Does the g4 also run a kind of Linux/Unix? If so, you could simply install XBoard there from source.

You may already own an app, which should run well on your "new" PowerPC Mac: Shredder Classic 4 . It only needs Java runtime to be installed.

Re: apple chess for imac g4
glaurung worked very good for me. where can i download uci engines compiled for mac ?
meanwhile i succesfully cleaned the pro keyboard by disassembling all keys and putting them back into place.
over the years lots of dirt was collected in the keyboard.
