started the 'complete' guide, i should be able to finish it tomorrow then ill post a link

I'm sure he's happy about all the free publicity. Besides, everyone knows Apple has had a secret x86 version developed already.

Also, if you're going to emulate OS X, you should probably get this G5 clone PC case (Lian-Li V-1000):




Could mod a G5 case too I suppose, but that would be a hassle.

And one of the best known (none other than Basilisk II) has been emulating 68K Macs for quite a while (in fact, using the current Win32 version, which hasn't been updated for years, I've emulated Quadras that have *never* existed in reality, such as a 384 MB Quadra 900...and this was using a mere 1 GHz Intel P-III).

I commonly used B-II for MacOS troubleshooting issues commonplace on 68K Macs (and will likely use PearPC, when finely tuned, to do the same with regards to PPC Mac/OS X-unique software issues). That's my biggest single use for OSes *other* than Windows XP (which is my day-to-day OS): troubleshooting atypical issues on atypical software that PC users usually don't see.

It's why I've kept up with Solaris, for example.

i'm getting the same error when i try to install jaguar as i did when i tried to install panther. i know i have an .iso file this time though. it keeps telling me that it can't open my .iso file, does anyone have any ideas, i feel like i'm pretty close to getting it to work if i can only get over this last hurdle!

here's my config file:

# PearPC Configuration File, generated by PearPeeler 0.1

ppc_start_resolution = 4
redraw_interval_msec = 200
prom_bootmethod = "select"
prom_env_bootargs = ""

PLEASE HELP ME

The HyperThreaded Emulated Mac?

Here's the situation:

I have a 512 MB P4 2.6 (HT) running (currently) Windows XP SP1 and Longhorn 4074 in a dual-boot setup.

Fortunately, because PearPC configures similar to Basilisk II (which I have used) I should be able to use the JITC Win32 version tagteamed with PearPeeler.

I have more than enough space on the XP partition to devote to a fake PPC Mac.

I *do* however, apparently need some hard numbers:

1. hex size for 256 MB of RAM (devoted to the fake Mac)

2. Preferred version of OS X (10.2 or 10.3? I have access to both).

This would be a *no Darwin* attempt.

Can PearPC do Ethernet? If so, does it rely on emulation (ala Basilisk II)? I'm connected on the XP side via Ethernet to a router (the router supports DHCP); if either PearPC or PearPeeler supports NAT, then I have no reason to sweat (because OS X supports DHCP).

try this



ppc_start_resolution = 4
redraw_interval_msec = 200 make this 35
prom_bootmethod = "auto"
prom_env_bootargs = ""
prom_env_machargs = "-s" leave it at -v
prom_driver_graphic = "video.x"
memory_size = 0x10000000
pci_ide0_master_installed = 1
pci_ide0_master_image = "HD-OS-X-Panther-PREP.img" rename your img to hardrive.img
pci_ide0_master_type = "hd"
pci_ide0_slave_installed = 1
pci_ide0_slave_image = "Mac OSX 10.2 Jaguar Disc 1.iso" rename your iso macosxjauar.iso
pci_ide0_slave_type = "cdrom"
pci_3c90x_installed = 0
pci_3c90x_mac = "FF:FE:BD:ED:83:E6"
pci_usb_installed = 1
nvram_file = "nvram"

yes and no, they did rhapsody, the base for osx, running on x86, but it is totally different to osx

wow this thread might overcome the desktop of the month threads!

currently pearpc doesn't support networking in windows

Nertz...getting a "can't open video.x" error in PearPC 0.1.1.

I have an AIW 9700 Pro with a desktop res of 1280x1024x32bpp. All settings are at the defaults.

What would cause this error? I do *not* have WindowBlinds loaded.

make sure that the file video.x is in the PearPC directory.

Prob licked!

I specified the full path to all targets to get them working (PearPC is in, appropriately, C:\FRUIT)

Question: How long does it take to detect the hard drive image? (I would think it might take a while; however, nobody has reported the typical locate time.)



The install is running in the BG as I type this, and I'm letting it run overnight.

Here goes.....

The bear *dances*....

Panther (OS X 10.3) is installing as I type this...in the background...on my Genuine Intel XP-driven *no WAY is this a Mac*!

I cranked up the PearPC window to 1024x768x32bpp (my desktop is 1280x1024x32bpp) and lowered the screen redraw to a mere 45 ms.

The biggest single question is: because PearPC has no Ethernet, is there *any* way to copy real Mac apps (other than via creating ISO images) to my handy-dandy not-a-Mac?

I'm thinking more of simple applets, browsers, that sort of thing.

Also, is the networking being worked on?

I cant get my poor thing to get to the next step it install just fine but thats it.

hmm what i want is sound anyway to get stuff OUT of osx into an iso or summin into windows?

ok, i've made progress, i finally got to the screen with the grey apple, but then i get this message:

You are now in single-user mode while booted from a CD-ROM.
Since the root disk is read-only, some commands may not work as
they normally do. In particular, commands that try to create
files in /tmp will probably fail. One way to avoid this problem
is to mount a seperate hard disk or floppy on /tmp using the
mount command. For example, 'sbin/mount /dev/fd0a /tmp' puts
/tmp on the internal floppy disk.

sh-2.05a#

in other words, how do i mount the hard drive?

i can't get a hdd to come up in the select destination part. what do i do?

sh-2.05a# Pdisk

then

sh-2.05a# type "e"


when it prompts for the device? type "/DEV/Disk0"

r - Will remap the drives.....
w - Will Write the new partition table......


For example: My Map partition was in part #1 and my Apple partition was in part #3 . Part #2 had Free space. So what i did was as follows:

sh-2.05a# r
Partition Number? I selected was "3"
New Partition ? Then "2"
sh-2.05a# w --- writes my changes and then i restared pearpc and it worked.


REM: remove "-s" from prom_env_machargs = "-s" in order to continue

hope this helps a little if not im sorry

Has anyone found a way to get anything OFF the virtual mac? On windows that is... I have been trying to find a way to mount the HD image in windows with out any luck, and I haven't found a way to make an image that is recognized by Pearpc and windows both.

Anybody have any bright ideas? Thanks,

Jon

On linux if you install HFS+ drivers I am sure you can mount the image like you mount ISOs.

And networking works on linux, so it is all good.

anyone seen the new version 0.1.2 ??


who tried it so far..
i'm guessing it not faster than before. just a few bug fix

I'm trying 1.2 right now lets see how it is

its ok, mostly bug fixes

http://sourceforge.net/project/shownotes.p...lease_id=239725

The Pear is *real*...and here's da proof!

maybe someone can help me over here: http://www.neowin.net/forum/index.php?show...0&#entry2135934

note: i'm a ppc nood

It's real, alright.

Lots of screenies (including mine on page 75 of this thread).

That's the *real OS X* (Panther/OS X 10.3, no less) running in *Windows XP*.

(still shaking head, getting used to the weirdity of *OS X for Windows*)

hmm, i finally got jaguar to install. however, when i boot from the harddrive in pearpc, i get the grey screen with the apple logo and then it just changes to a circle with a line going through it and it has the little alternating circle of dashed lines. i thought this was the normal boot sequence but it's been like this for the past hour. is there something i'm doing wrong?

here's my config:

# PearPC Configuration File, generated by PearPeeler 0.1

redraw_interval_msec = 200
prom_bootmethod = "select"
prom_env_bootargs = ""

and here are my comp specs:

nice..network support..i have a 3c940 though, doh!

#prom_env_machargs = "" needs to be prom_env_machargs = "-v"

Here is a link to a PRE Partition HD image. You now need not to worry about going into the darwin cmd to edit the MBR. http://www.emaculation.com/phpBB/viewtopic.php?t=1171

Thx. I couldn't figure out where/what to dl when I got to the darwin part

I dl and set that as my new .img in the config file of pearpc, but when I try to run I get this

would anyone be willing to tell me what i need to do in darwin to get my osx hd bootable. 10.3 just installed but it says that my hd isnt bootable. I was told to do it in darwin, the link to the website is down. Help

It's too bad that the emulation speed is dead slow. Sure, it's nice to be able to run OS 10 on a PC, but it is practically useless until PearPC is further developed, the bugs black flagged, and the emulation is optimized.

At least someone is now working on getting there though.

everytime i try to boot up it says "STILL WAITING FOR ROOT DEVICE"' anyone know why?

here's my config:

memory_size = 0x10000000 -> memory_size = 0x8000000 (just to see if ram size is the issue)

well, i changed the memory size and i get a host of errors, along with this message:

I set the paths to all targets *explicitly* in the configuration file.
In short, I not only gave it the name of the particular file, but the entire path to it.

I'll feel better once the LAN support (Win32) is up and running.

Alright, I have the beginning of the setup process done now, though much to go still, so for those who just want to get a clean start here you go:

PearPC OSX Install Guide

Also, leave comments on stuff I may have missed up to the end of the install, or comments and whatnot on it

Things I will be adding:
-Post install
-How to make an image of your OSX CD/DVD
-Something else I can't remember....

you missed this thread .. didnt ya

http://www.neowin.net/forum/index.php?showtopic=167708

I had read that yes, but on originally making this I was going to have darwin information for those who could not boot and i was squishing all files, everything else into one nice, neat place There have been so many different files posted, config issues, non bootable issues, this guide should have it so you go straight through and it be real easy for it to just work w/o issues

Now Darwin is not needed at all, but still one place for all files needed and mainstream run down

Bah I think my .iso is corrupt.

This should help some people also

http://www.emaculation.com/phpBB/viewtopic.php?t=1171

Ok I really need to convert .dmg to iso. I really hate nero and I tried winiso and it said it cant read dmg files. Is there any way to convert or just drop the files into my harddrive image file. Please help

ok, here's the config that finally worked for me:

# PearPC Configuration File, generated by PearPeeler 0.1

redraw_interval_msec = 200
prom_bootmethod = "select"
prom_env_bootargs = ""

#pci_3c90x_installed = 0
#pci_3c90x_mac = "FF:FE:BD:ED:83:E6"
pci_usb_installed = 1
nvram_file = "nvram"

well it did work, i closed ppc down now when i try to restart it, it just opens the config file =( anyone know why?

This is all I get when I try to boot

Change redraw_interval_msec from 200 to half that or less (if you have 128 MB of RAM or more on your graphics card, *especially* if you have DX 9.0b installed in Windows, *and* you have 512 MB of RAM or more, drop it down to 50). My own setting: 40.

(Win32) Set PearPC to use no more than half your system RAM.

Tip: Unlike most applications, PearPC is sensitive to your graphics hardware. The better the hardware, the lower you should set redraw_interval_msec (and the higher you should set the resolution and color depth). Default resolution is 4 (800x600x16bpp) My own setting: 8 (1024x768x32bpp, which is PearPC's ceiling).

I see that there is a new official build out today version 0.1.2

What version is everyone using?

i am using the .2pre nightly build

just did some updates .. am I missing anything ??
