It's possible to copy 1.6.1 files over, as an "astronomy" update:
At the very least in directory 'data':
extrasolar.ssc
extrasolar.stc
starnames.dat
numberedmoons.ssc

"what do you mean with "non minigl?" version?"
I mean something like a "2D" version. For those who are using graphics cards such as CyberVision PPC.

@afxgroup
I went to the official website and have had a look at some screenshots. This piece of software is damn amazing!
What are the minimum hardware requirements for the OS4 port?
Would a non-MiniGL port make sense or it would be too slow to be usable?
