re: all that have macs and ppc cpus..

sorry for the lack of updating this after years.. i think the way to get this to work on a real mac vs the hackintosh rig i was running.. would be to take the concept that the hackintosh world uses and fake the CPU ID check via a modified kext file. i have not tried this since i do not own a ppc mac anymore but in theory would work imo. so there is my suggestion. :)

I could not get this to work at all… I found the download for silverlight 2 file on macintosh however every time I clicked on it it re-routed me to download the new silverlight 5.

Then I found silverlight 2 on old apps.com – I was able to start the download however the download could not be completed because it states silverlight 2 does not support powerpc’s!!

Do you have any suggestions?! I really need silverlight to get onto a specific website for school.

This doesn’t work. I think I’m done with my G4 everything I want to install requires tedious workarounds most of which don’t even work anyways.

There is just no support for anything on these old mac machines anymore, it’s to bad really but it is what it is.

Our county uses a map location information system, Scout, based on the Silverlight program which obviously from the commentary in 2011 does not provide the abracadabra solution for us Mac powerpc users. We lived with shock with Apple II programs not working on Apple IIc, etc. Progress requires adaptation. Adding a mini-Mac…hmm..will that enhance our Mac powerpc computer stuff?

My Mac froze tonight after I tried to install Silverlight and then uninstall by just moving the app to trash. I had to boot up from the startup disc.

Do I have to find an ‘uninstall” program.

Eric and rweflyn are stoopid.

Stop reading blogs for our mental health.

I got Silverlight 2.0 to install on my G4. I am now getting past the netflix ppc block, but am now getting a Silverlight update block. Any suggestions?
