You freakin did it man! Against all odds! The commitment to this has been unreal! Also so good seeing your channel grow man! Congrats! The shorts have really been working for you! I’ve loved watching them! Hope you, Chelsea and Scout are doing well!
GREG - we flipping did! Appreciate ya bro!
As a fellow nerd...This video was elite! Can't believe it actually ran. I know what all those long evenings of troubleshooting is like. It can really discourage you but you pushed through and won! Let me just say that this video format is really nice. You killed the pacing of the video. True Quality Sir.
Bro. This comment. Thank you man! I can't believe it got there too. I learnt a ton and knowing it works is the best feeling! Glad you dug the video and style - journey just beginning! So glad you're here mate!
@@zacharystaines I'll no doubt stick around to support the journey. I'm super excited to see what the future holds for you. Keep crushing it brother!

Hi guys
This is beautifully produced- I would go as far as to say it's a cinematic masterpiece. This is inspiring. This is SO nostalgic- I've played Minecraft since I was 3, and it was my first console (PS3) game- and it truly invokes your struggles and your final feeling of accomplishment once you were in that world. Amazing. You are an inspiration to gamers and tech geeks around the world.
Holy smokes man - that means a lot! I was really going for those nostalgic feels - so I'm glad it came across! Thanks for the kind words, Musikid!
So are you saying you're 10 years old or that Minecraft was the first console game you bought on PS3? Since it was on Xbox first an added to PS3 around September 2013
Man my inner nerd is loving this new era of videos! Editing is crazy good btw zach
Heck yeah!! Thanks Aaisha - feel like I’ve found my vibe
Yess
This is why don't bully nerd

Love to see you happy and achieving goals! Keep it up!!
8:31 his reaction is just amazing lol
hahah the relief was real lol!
@@zacharystaines you got it so wide open like you prepared for something big to come inside, just give yourself an oscar already lol
The dedication to this project was amazing. I love the look of these old iMac’s so I’m happy to see one featured in a new video. Looking forward to GTA lol
The translucent Mac's will have their return - i'm sure of it! Thanks for coming along the journey, Tyler! 🤓
This was much more intriguing than I ever hoped it to be. I'm so glad you made it run Minecraft against all odds. Awesome! ❤
*There is no fate in your world if you can go against all types of fate you've ever experienced in your life.*
So glad you dug the video! Thanks for sticking around and watching it! 😀
I had the same problem with my G3 dead cd drive. I solved the problem by removing it, seeing how hard the mechanism was to even understand, smashing it on a surface, mounting it back in and seeing it work beautifully. It’s been 2 years and it’s still working
Smashing it?! No way... the ol magic trick of throwing it across the room haha!
@@zacharystaines your game was calling classic cube not minecraft liar
ong bru@@klokiklokan9242
this looks really professional for someone with such a small following, keep it up!
Yo that means a lot - spent a lot of hours this week getting it together - so im glad ya dug!
This has been a crazy journey and I'm so glad to see it freaking work! Keep up the videos and keep up the amazing projects.
This definitely gives me hope with trying to run Minecraft on my early 2009 20 inch iMac
This needs more attention. This can prove that so many things about oh tech is possible. Like, pushing old tech to their limits.
Thanks AP! Agreed - definitely what makes it so fun
This was one of the best quality TH-cam videos I have ever watched. Great topic, good hooks/segways/outros, was scripted well and the subject matter was great. Well done this video should be hitting a million views soon
Yooo that means a lot man! Thanks for the support and hype! Still trying to work this whole TH-cam thing out but we'll get there 💪
Never played minecraft or used an OG Imac, but the pure joy on his face when he gets it up and running I do get.. Awesome vid.
Oh man it was definitely a high point after so much tinkering lol!
Congratulations! It is easier to achieve on a faster PowerPC mac (I’ve achieved this on the iBook G4) but with the specifications of the iMac G3 in the video, it’s quite an achievement to get it running. (A 350 MHz G3 compared to a 1.42GHz G4 is quite a difference)
I wonder how MacOSX tiger runs for normal use on the iMac G3 (performance, etc. updated web browsers built specially for PowerPC macs)
Something interesting to keep open while doing these videos is showing RAM usage (we can assume cpu usage is at 100% the entire time when things are loading)
Congratulations on the CD drive too!
Thanks a ton for ya hype! I wish I was rocking a G4 (maybe the next buy) because the G3 really was a bit of work lol!
I'm keen to check out normal day to day use on it. That RAM usage is a great idea too! 😀
@@zacharystaines Thank you! Yea! If thinking of buying another PowerPC mac, go with the G5! The performance difference is quite a lot compared to the G3! (But it is more of an accomplishment to get things running on the G3 iMac because of its hardware limitations. The G5 PowerMac has a much faster processor in comparison)
Its a dog. I had one of these. 400mhz g3, 1gb ram, 500gb hdd. The limiting factor was the rage 8mb graphics more than anything
You know when the computer is 7 years older than you, it's going to be a banger.
Dang dude you making me feel old 🥲
The structure of the video made it feel quite accomplishing in the end, and I did not even do anything but watch. Good work.
Cheers Adam man! Glad ya dug the adventure - it was a journey lol
I don't have old iMac or 2007 PC. But it feels so satisfying after seeing someone finally can revive old device and installed video games on it. Wish i have much money and spirit or patient to build my own PC or just revived my old computer.
You might be able to get a more modern version of linux running on it which will then allow you to run x86 games with wine or dosbox. But still great video!
wine only works on x86 cpu's last i checked. dosbox would work though, i think there's already a build of dosbox for osx 10.4
Good job 😂 Does it run stable? Did you test any tweaks to get additional FPS?
Got about 25 frames or so stable with everything on zero lol! Thanks dude!!
good editing for ur 4th video, i wish you goodluck with the algorithm
I do remember using these imac computers in elementary school I somewhat miss those old computers
Imagine getting a VR game to work
Been watching the videos and love them!all of that pain just for some tweasers 😮
#support
So much pain but hey - it was worth it 🥲 thanks for checking out all the videos!
Finally, i remember the deviation I felt when I tried to upgrade my GPU drivers on my old laptop. Only to have it fail and revert to stock, couldn't fix it and Minecraft that I had played everyday up until then could no longer launch.
Congrats man it’s been a long journey but you’ve finally made it
Maybe too long but it's been awesome! Cheers for watching bro!
Still better than the school computers
Such a good video! 😂😅👍🏻
Thanks so much 🥲
I'm getting flashbacks to the year 2000. I was about 13 years old with the exact same iMac that you have now barely able to play Quake 3 Arena or Diablo 2. And yet here you are running Minecraft on the same machine, a game from 2011. Wild stuff!
Finally I waited for this all month
Sorry for teasing ya 🥲 hope it was worth the wait!
Bro dedicated his whole life to making Minecraft run on the oldest Mac... It very much reminds me of how I did everything possible to run Minecraft java edition at 5 fps on my Chromebook 😢 ❤
5ps?! Dang dude that's brutal!!
Another youtuber did it on an older mac from 1995 and ran 25 to 30 fps on superflat
@@user-hw5zs1pi7zwho??
guys I think this iMac is 24 year old
Ha
No doubt about it
To is
Wow how’d you know? You must be amazing at guessing ages.
bro I actually didn't know that that's crazy 😧
watched all of your shorts and this is really amazing that you finally succeeded🎉
So stoked we did it man - everyone kept me motivated and excited for it!!
Bedrock edition is written in C
I think this thing would implode lol
Bedrock doesn’t even run on my 1 year old laptop with 4gb ram

Belo video, mano você poderia colocar legenda em português brasileiro? Porfavor!!
Will do my best sir!
Congratulations on your hard work❤️ I just found out when you upload your TH-cam short!! My sub is for you:)
Thanks for being here!!
Thank you so much for mentioning ClassiCube! I was looking for an open source minecraft-like sandbox game written in C for a long time,so that I could look at&mess with code,and learn how it works so maybe I could do it one day as well.
That's awesome! ClassiCube is great man - still a blast to play!
Been watching the whole journey on youtube shorts. Congratulations on running minecraft on a iMac G3 :)
reminds me of when i got my 19 year old dell tower to keep up with minecraft until update 1.16.5, that ol thing will forever be my favorite memory played it since it released on that thing
Bravo mate! Good stuff, i loved the videos on this and congratulations on running Minecraft on this computer!!!
Thanks mate! Means a lot 💪
Wow, that Mac is so clean. Very good-looking piece of kit!
I love your videos, it's amazing that you managed to run a 2011 game on hardware from 1999. I tried getting youtube to work on my old sony xperia x10 mini pro from 2012 but eventually gave up.
Thanks dude! Oh man - Xperia x10 was the best! Can that play minecraft? 🫡
i remember using these old imac's when i was in elementary school.
OMG THE PHOTO AT 2:46 I LIVE THERE, it looked so familiar. I use that train station a lot to go to melbourne! Thats amazing!!!
Im in love with the color grading. This content level is high asf.
Probably spent a little too long on colouring but it was worth it just for this comment! Cheers man!!
Congrats that it worked 🎉
Great hard work man :)
It Almost Tooks a month maybe?
I think that if you set the graphics to low or lowest, maybe it runs more smooth or really smooth :)
Thanks so much man! Cant believe it finally works hey haha! Took a few months on and off - but let's be honest that's because i had zero idea what I was doing haha!
@@zacharystaines ok, thats great
Him using the tweezers to sort out the disc reminded me when me and my brother was trying to open the disc compartment of our ps2 which had dusted and got stuck but he used tweezers to get it open
I remember using these in elementary school, especially in the library.
Of course it can! I used to play Minecraft 3D all the time on one of those!
This will actually be useful for installing minecraft on my 2007 Mac Mini
HELL YEAHHHHHH
IVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS MOMENT
LET'S FLIPPIN GO!
I would love to see you do a episode of Minecraft on there but other than that, congratulations 🎉 man on getting that to work. I'd always was wondering if those kind of computers would run that. I was in the second grade to 10 grade last time I ever used one. So much nostalgia for those computers. Take care of it
Thanks for watching you legend! Glad you got some nostalgia out of it like i did!
This is truly amazing wow
Omg i think i used to play that exact game on the computers at my elementary school when I was a young kid
Im so happy you made it work
That’s fantastic that you got Minecraft and Mac OS X tiger running in ur 1999 imac. I have an iMac G3 1998, and I’m going to try to install Mac OS X panther so wish me luck. Well done
Good luck lad! I'm sure you'll crush it. I think i made it look too hard haha
I see a TH-camr did minecraft java latest version on windows xp with weird results. Seeing this even it's just classicube it's neat. It made me remember playing multiplayer on a custom made built in survival server, it's the weirdest experience i ever had. Open source stuff is awesome.
Open source stuff is the best!! Couldn't have done this video without an awesome Minecraft community!
I been waitin for this1
We finally got there lol!!
SUCH A GOOD VIDEO LETS GO!
That's really amazing to see
I started playing Minecraft when I was like 10 with the demo back in the day me and my friend would play together but the demo only had like 15 or 20 mins of play time and then it would reset the game I miss the old og tutorial maps
FINALLY MINECRAFT!!
Glad to see it, Zach!
Yo thanks a ton! Just so glad it worked lol 😂
Dude nice work🎉🎉 so hard to run a block based game lol
So nuts right?! But hey, it was a fun journey!!
What surprises me more than anything is that people are still playing Minecraft and are still hype about it. Absolutely blows my mind as the last version I played was the Xbox 360 version when it was all the rage. But that was a decade ago. This is just absolutely unbelievable that Minecraft is still a thing.
Isn't it nuts man?! I played it when I was 15 and now im 27 still talking about it... it's out of control
That is surprisingly smooth though
My buddy had the iMAC G3 in that exact same color; was my dream PC as a kid lol
That’s insane! 🎉
Now try to make that powerpc work by the f1 formula 😁
This was so wholesome!
hi bro just wanna say i love your content keep it up
Thanks Jim - means a lot you watch bro!
Hey - great video! Did notice in a couple shots of the inside that the barrel battery that keeps the time and date is still installed. That battery is over 20 years old and it’s very common to see them leak VERY BADLY and permanently ruin the iMac - I’d suggest that you remove it. It doesn’t need to be replaced for it to work.
Yo this is super helpful - thanks for the heads up. I'm going to make sure to get that sorted! Cheers!
Him be like: all i can offer is blood, toil, tears, and sweat. My man here is Winston Churchill the 2nd
That is awesome man, you definitely motivate me to get my old pc systems back up and running
Dude heck yeah give it a go bro!
Bro, this is nostaligc because I used to play minecraft on my old IBook G4, still remember the day minecraft broke and I couldn't play it. Never solved the issue and this just reminded me of the good old times
No way man?! an iBook G4? Dang! I have an iBook G3. Could be worth getting it out and giving it a go! You should give it a go, man!
Yeah keeping away from the top of the iMac is most definitely a good idea. Most of what's in there are Components for the CRT, not knowing what you're doing and one wrong move would send you to an early grave. CRTs are kinda dangerous to work on.
omg its working i have been waiting for the video
i love classicube! i used to play it on my old xp pc, very small community but nice. its multiplayer minecraft classic but with plugins and approved by mojang
this has inspired me to go and get my old imac from mid 2000s and try to install emulators on it. might try minecraft too.
That's epic lad - let me know how ya go!!
- yeah man i got a extra pc for you to play at the sleepover
the extra pc :
That was impressive. great woirk!
Thanks so much Node!!
So cool loved the video and the editing
