wacko.gif 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

no need to convert it, just drag the files to nero and make it ans ISO

then just drag the files to the Desktop for example and mount it

[COLOR=purple]Hi everybody

[COLOR=blue]listen my problem is that when i booted to install the mac os x panther 10.3, when looking for the hardrive on the select destination screen to install it, the

[COLOR=blue]HD doesnt show up, and im using a 6Gb offered in the peaprpc website, so any of you with a resolution to this please posted here, thanx! biggrin.gif
mitodna
try to post your config here

most properly is

pci_ide0_master_installed = 1
pci_ide0_master_image = "C:\PearPC\PantherImage.img"
#pci_ide0_master_type = "hd"

pci_ide0_master_installed should be 1

Apple's Core OS On Your PC, For Free
Frequent contributor CptSiskoX sends this along:

http://developer.apple.com/darwin/
http://www.opensource.apple.com/darwinsour...rwin-701.iso.gz
(ISO of Darwin 7.01 for x86/PowerPC - which is basically MacOS 10.2)

Darwin (aka Mac OS X) - ISO image available as free download for PowerPC *and* x86 (Intel/AMD/etc.)

FAQ: http://developer.apple.com/darwin/projects/darwin/faq.html

It's based on BSD Unix. So my understanding is, now you can basically run MacOS X on your Athlon or P4 or whatever. <g> --- CptSiskoX

Thanks for the links, Cpt!

What's going on here is this: Many years ago, when Steve Jobs left Apple, he founded NeXT, which produced a system that was a technical marvel but that ultimately failed because almost no one could afford it. Its OS (NeXTStep) was based on a Unix variant.

When Jobs returned to Apple, he inherited an aging Mac OS that was embarrassingly out of date, long surpassed by Windows in power and capability. So, Jobs sought to combine the best of the NeXT OS with the best of the Mac OS: The Mac OS X was the result--- a modern, fully up to date, and very nice operating system.

Although the full OS X only runs on Macs, its core is not owned by Apple: It's based on Open Source software, which has developed in parallel with the Apple (and before that, NeXT) implementations. (See http://www.opendarwin.org/ )

The OpenDarwin project gives PC users a chance to explore the guts of the Mac OS. There's even a "DarWine" project to let you run Windows applications, unmodified, on Darwin. I wouldn't recommend OpenDarwin as a first choice for a day-to-day working environment (Windows, OS X, or any of the more complete Linux distributions would be better for that), but it is an interesting project, and an impressive display of cross-platform portability.

Tried using ISO buster to change the .dmg to .iso but I don't think it did it correctly. And I couldn't get Nero to convert the .dmg to .iso huh.gif

I'm also installing Panther, everything works fine but on the cmd.exe there is something, it says :

[IO/IDE] <warning> command FLUSH CACHE stub

If somebody knows what that means ?

one of my friends, who loves macs, and has been using for longer then i know. said that they may have made the time a lot quicker on purpose. OS X's visual effect are time based, so on a fast computer the effects look good in normal time. But in order to make the effects look like right on a machine that is as slow as PearPC they sped the time up.

Don't know if it's true or not, but it makes sense.

I don't know, it looks like number 4 (partition 3) is the correct partition.

How much faster?  On a scale from 1 to 10.

Just tried it, it's noticeably faster, but not by a large amount. I'd say 10-20% (Guesstimation using the time it takes to bring up System Preferences, and time it takes to switch desktops biggrin.gif)
I'm really digging this...

10 - 20% is a good speed increase.

Oh, Vicious X, I love that wallpaper, can you post it?
bscabl
hmmm makes me wish i had an osx cd laying about
lilmoonee
is the speed increase on the .2 trunk or the .1 trunk?

Can someone post a complete guide on how to get OSX running. I mean from the installation of PPC to the startup of OSX. I´m not very familiar with these kind of programs, but I would like to give it a try.
I would appreciate if someone could help me.
Thanks
banli
can someone please help me?

I installed pearpc, got the installer (10.1) to come up, and when i press f12, but the mouse doesn't work. What am i doing wrong?
Dazzla
What's the best optimisation for the Athlon64? Because it has SSE2 which is presumably what the P4 build is optimised for.
phalanx126
to install the nightly builds, do you just copy and paste the new files to your original pearpc directory?
Orson
Gonna trye the new build now.
Detroit
ya, so, is the BIG speed increase on 0.2 or the 0.1.x

i'm running the AtlhonXP optimized 0.2 one,runs great biggrin.gif
