About
Fans of MorphOS. MorphOS is a lightweight, highly efficient and flexible media-centric operating system. It includes primarily proprietary as well as open - source components. Its many features range from aMore modern exceptionally customizable graphical user interface, which can utilize 3D hardware acceleration, to a high-performance Just-in-Time compiler that emulates the 68k family of processors and thereby allows to transparently execute legacy applications developed for the Commodore Ax00 series of computers.

I’m sure someone has asked it before but what is the best Mac to run MorphOS on? I want to finally get a licensed copy but I want to put it on something that I’ll use for sometime and not just the first machine I load MorphOS on. Hopefully I already own a decent machine for it I have a dual 2.0 G5 powermac, a Mac mini 1.42, a PowerBook 1.25ghz g4, a 1ghz g4 PowerBook, and a dual 800 g4 powermac.

I finally got my AmigaOne X5000 to duel boot my AmigaOS 4.1 FE and Morphos 3.15. I need to know how to install Fienix Linux. on my hard drive. Right now when I want to use my Fienix Linux, I boot it from a usb drive. I want to have all 3 operating systems on my hard drives. Morphos runs great on my AmigaOne X5000 and my Apple G4 notebook.

Just thought I’d show people what the new Checkmate Amiga keycaps look like out in the wild.

Really pleased with how it all looks on my new Motospeed GK82 mechanical wireless keyboard.

Using this on my MacMini and G5 Quad running MorphOS 3.15.

Great work by Steve Jones again.

I hope this project will see the light of day by the end of April

I have a powermac3,5 800 MHz. I’m trying to install morphos 3.15 from cd.
I haven’t been able as the process gets always stuck when copying files. I mean the Mac boots from cd, I follow every step until itMore starts copying file to the hd. Then the process stops and nothing happens.
I swapped the cdrom to another one just to test if the device was the problem. No it wasn’t .
Any ideas?

I have a iMacG5 20” iSight and I would like to install MorphOS on permanently, However the WiFi under Apple as in OSX Tiger or Leopard is excellent and shows 100% in regards to connection with the home network...

Under MorphOS it’s less that 68% and therefore as totally unusable and it fails connect properly in anyway and I find this amazing as the hardware is the same, Antenna and everything the same..,

So what’s is the issue?

Lockdown blues led me to start re-theming my desktop. Far from finished though, I will unify this theme for MorphOS & for my PiMIGA distro as well as port it to MiSTer too.

So far this work was done using MorphOS software alone, as I don't currently have a PC. MorphOS has been my digital mainstay during lockdown. 🌈

So I'm aware that MorphOS uses PNG for icons. But, where does it store the tool types? Since it's an image format, not an icon format. 🤔

Okay, so I've now got my new SSD (OWC Mercury 3G and 3.5" adapter) ready to install on my G5, but before I do so I just want to check how everything will work.

What I am aiming for is to use the SSD to be my main drive but leave the existing HDD in but only in case I need further storage in the future and also so I can initially move stuff over toMore the new SSD.

Therefore, am I best to physically install the drive and then do a fresh install of MorphOS 3.15 on the new drive, or could I copy the exact same partitions from the old drive to the new drive?

Also, if I end up with two drives each with a bootable partition how do I select which drive is the one that should be booted from? Am I correct in thinking the Mac has an early boot menu (sorry my Mac knowledge is very low)? If so how do I permanently make the boot partition on the SSD the one that the computer usually boots from?

I know these are noddy questions, but the last time I installed any new harddrive was probably in about 1997 and involved a Elbox PowerFlyer and even then it didn't go to plan as far as I can remember!
