I've built myself a Powermac G4 MDD running OS9 to gently caress around with old games, but it's no fun at all because it averages around 5 minutes of uptime before some game causes a hard freeze and you have to hold the power button or unplug it, then wait for a lengthy file system check when it boots back up At least the older macs gave you a reset button, ugh. Apple were drat lucky they didn't go bankrupt selling people this poo poo

lack of pre-emptive multitasking in an OS being sold into the late 90's was pretty loving ridiculous it's amazing they ever worked

 SheepShaver is actually reasonably stable now, but Basilisk II crashes if you hold the mouse wrong

I found a MDD PowerMac on the sidewalk. It kernel panics on boot but I'm assuming it's just the install that's boned and that the computer itself is good.

It might need a new graphics card, the ATI card in mine kept freezing the system. I replaced it with a PCI ATI card and replaced all the fans and now it's both stable and silent. You can get rid of the 60mm fans in the power supply and just stick a 120mm fan on the outside of the PSU, I have no idea why apple didn't do that from the start. Maybe computers were supposed to sound like vacuum cleaners in 2003 to show how powerful they were

imagine being such a loving moron in the 90s that you spent time in the mac lab at school using bad software on worse computers instead of the glorious PC lab with epic rigs blasting the most ownage programs and games. mac lab devotees were pathetic pariahs then, just as they are now. YOSPOS Bitch!
