So I got a old iMac G5 and it beeps when I turn it on and gives the apple screen but without the apple.
I want to fix it so I can use it just to play around with.

I like both both PC and MAC for different reasons. Mac -- less virus and hard to find emulators being playable like PCSX2 (minus Wineskin of course). You got an idea. PC - more virus and better emulators.
Can you show a picture ? It will help.

We aren't going to be able to identify the problem without some trial and error on your end. Try looking around for some cheaper iMac G5 compatable RAM, purchasing it, and swapping it out. If that doesn't work, the PowerPC G5 CPU might be dead, and I don't know if there is any way to fix that...
Is this screen white ? It looks like to me because it could be "White of death". I can help you.. Pm me and we can discuss. I have experience with a friend similar with yours. I resolved it for him. I can try to help you. Pm me. So we can pm each others back and forth regularly. I am free time now. By the way, I have a newer MAC myself - 2 years old, I think.

You can hear a grinding. That isn't a beep, that's a grind. Sounds like the HDD has gone, if the CPU or memory had gone, you wouldn't get a picture.
O_O You mean just smash it?Use a hammer, thats is the tool what i'm using to fix iMac's at my work

@AncientBoi, Yeah, believe you can do PSP games as well. But a Pi5 is much powerful in comparison.+2 -

Not sure about other models of Pi4 but the Pi 4 B with 8GBs OCed to 2Ghz handles PSP really great except like 1 game I found and it is playable it just looks bad lol Motor Storm Arctic something or other. -

I will admit that one does seem more interesting than the usual Ambernic ones, and I already liked those.

I mean yeah sure but the specs are the same as a $50 model, it's just those pesky "quality of life" things driving up the price, like an actually working speaker, or buttons that don't melt, and stuff like that.+1 -

I think all in my Pi 4 was well north of 200 bucks 150ish for the Pi 4 the case the fancy cooler, then like 70 for the 500GB MicroSD then like 70 for the Xbox controller. But honestly it's a nice set up I really enjoy and to me was worth every penny. (even bought more controllers for 2 or 4 player games.) hmmm have never played any 2 player games yet

Yeah that's what I hate about the RPi, it's supposedly $30 or something but it takes an additional $200 of accessories to actually turn it into a working something.

Yeah a lot of it I consider a hobby, using Batocera I am constantly adjusting the collection adding and removing stuff, scraping the artwork. Haven't even started on some music for the theme... Also way down the road I am considering attempting to do a WiiFlow knock off lol

Hmm, with that in mind, maybe a complete out-the-box solution with all the games collected, pacthed and optimized for me would be worth $150
