Hello everybody. Umm, I have PowerPC Mac with Mac OS X Tiger. How can i make msn messenger work on Mac OS X 10.4.11? (PowerPC Architecture). I found this http://dity.wikia.com/wiki/MSN_Messenger and tried to patch MSN Messenger 3.0 for Mac following this instruction but it doesn’t work.
UPD.
MSN Messenger for Mac works!
This is instruction for PowerPC Macintosh or Macintosh with Mac OS X 10.6 owners. If you have Intel Macintosh on Mac OS X 10.7+, please, use Wine to run MSN Messenger 8.5 or 8.1. Here instruction for PowerPC Macintosh and Mac OS X 10.6 owners:
The only way that Escargot would be run on macOS would be Wine (Judging by some people who were able to patch Escargot for Linux distros), but that requires later versions of macOS.
Messenger:mac 3.0 wasn’t released for Mac OS Classic. In fact, the versions released aren’t separated by Classic Environment/OS X compatibility. Can you at least double-check your claims first?
Then why one post said “it crashes” on Messenger:mac 3.0 and then a “issue” on gitlab says that yes, indeed it works…
The gitlab issue was made on June 2017, back when Escargot was still new,
The post was made on December 2018. So what got broken up in that 18 month period?
Because that was about 1.3, not 3.0. And 1.3 crashed for me on SheepShaver, too, which I predict is no more that an emulation bug. Regardless, please read what I say before you ramble on.
Yes, but the main focus of the thread was about Messenger:mac 1.3. Also, note how the OP says that 3.x freezes during the authentication process? That just means it isn’t usable due to something wrong happening in the login process, which is easily fixable.
