Running Scratch on ancient systems
3.x? So it means any 3.X version or later works well with scratch 1.4?Thanks for saying this,but im unsure how you got this to work on classic Mac OS? Did you use some sort of….VM?Nope (though I was emulating Mac OS 9 in QEMU, my only PPC Mac is too new) just download an old enough Squeak VM (squeak.org, pretty sure 3.0 is good and it supposedly even supports System 7) and run Scratch.image

While this isn't quite ancient, it doesn't support the WebGL required by Scratch or its dependencies:
On a Kindle's browser, you can log in and view messages, images, and discussions. You can also post comments. The WebGL needed for projects to load doesn't work, and if it did it wouldn't work well, due to the E-Paper display. To view a project, you must install breakthrough software to either add a mainstream browser, boot another OS, or install dependencies (requires a change to the directory folder).

OP, what are you talking about?Nope (though I was emulating Mac OS 9 in QEMU, my only PPC Mac is too new) just download an old enough Squeak VM (squeak.org, pretty sure 3.0 is good and it supposedly even supports System 7) and run Scratch.image3.x? So it means any 3.X version or later works well with scratch 3.0?

The person you replied to said that Squeak VM 3.0 would be good to run Scratch 1.x.
You also really never specified it had to be modern, 3.0 Scratch, so if that's what your reply there implies, now would be a good time to mention it officially if you haven't.
