#Diskwarrior 10.4 mac os
After digging further into old tricks on restoring Mac OS 9, I finally came across why the system was not booting properly any longer. This appeared to resolve the issues for a short while, until the computer crashed again, but this time, trying to fix the unmountable partition wasn't working. Note: The -folder9 option has been removed from more modern versions of the bless utility, since Mac OS 9 has not been available on Macs since 2003. Sudo bless -folder9 "/Volumes/Macintosh HD/System Folder" -bootBlockFile "/usr/share/misc/bootblockdata"

Running the following command from the Mac OS X Terminal will bless the specified Mac OS 9 system folder so it will be bootable: For good measure, I blessed the Mac OS 9 system folder so it was bootable.

Using a computing system of yesteryear invokes sweet nostalgia, but that quickly wears off when one is rudely reminded of the shortcomings which have long been remedied with modern systems. Sadly, time is starting to catch up with the G4, and I encountered a bevy of crashes, related both to dying hardware and the unreliability of a 90s-era operating system. This amazing machine was my main workhorse for seven years before I moved over to a new iMac. Instead of using an emulator, I pulled out my Gigabit PowerMac G4, which can run every version of Mac OS from 9.0.4 through 10.4.11. I've finally setup Sheepshaver on my main Mac, however I haven't experimented with it much, but it might be worth testing further in the future to determine if it can be a reliable replacement for aging hardware. Due to the hardware and software changes made in the past 19 years, QFG5 cannot be played natively on modern Macs. Whereas the first four games in the series can be played under DOSBox, QFG5 was released in 1998, which put it in the era of Windows 9X and the "Classic" era of Mac OS.
