is it capable of smoothly displaying the Genie effect yet?
I hope it will be very soon possible to make a connection to the internet.
Just think of the possiblities of this program once it matures more, you will never need to buy Apple hardware again to run their OS !!!!

1) genie effect runs real well, but not butter smooth yet

(It runs only butter smooth when i used the itunes "zoom" mode)
2) connection to the net will be very later
3) When time passes, it hope to get to 1/10 of cpu speed. It wont be perfect but usable

right now, its at probably 1/39

unless u are implying that we have an x86 version of MAC OSX, I don't think any emulator can emulate at 100% of your CPU, i mean, just look at Virtual PC, how long that's been out especially on x86 computers, yet still not even close.
The speed of PC's keeps increasing so we will get to a point where it is an acceptable speed to use properly.

KoL, i don't know if this will help, but when I was trying to install 10.2, it simply would not work unless i specified where the video.x files was located....i'm not sure why, but it worked after that

I tested the lastest official release (0.1.2) in Longhorn build 4074, and it was
really slow. The cmd windows showed up first, but the main screen didn't even show up for a minute. (It's usually instant on XP). After that, everything seemed to slow down exponentially. I couldn't get to the Mac OSX boot screen without turning it off from boredom.
I'm not complaining, just reporting the results of my limited tests.

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.
Quick heads up, for those having trouble fiddling with memory settings, try
PearGUI. Makes a config file in an easy-to-use GUI.
I use PearPeeler...er where the link for it brb.
Yup,
PearPeeler's nice too...btw, program's in English

EDIT: Just a quick question, with the .2pre version of PearPC, I get artifacts ("left-behind" clips of moved windows and such). Is my refresh too low? I have it set to 15 and it was butter smooth under 1.1/1.2

Cant find damn link

I want to add net for my mac os x how do I do this I have a router and on board (Nforce 2) LAN is this possble?

What's the best optimisation for the Athlon64? Because it has SSE2 which is presumably what the P4 build is optimised for.
You get this using the gcc compilers:
Quote - GCC Documentation
-march=cpu-type
pentium4
Intel Pentium4 CPU with MMX, SSE and SSE2 instruction set support.
athlon-4, athlon-xp, athlon-mp
Improved AMD Athlon CPU with MMX, 3dNOW!, enhanced 3dNOW! and full SSE instruction set support.
k8, opteron, athlon64, athlon-fx
AMD K8 core based CPUs with x86-64 instruction set support. (This supersets MMX, SSE, SSE2, 3dNOW!, enhanced 3dNOW! and 64-bit instruction set extensions.)
I haven't tried to compile it myself foy my Athlon64 yet. I will probably have time to do that some day this week.

Genie effect: (It's pretty slow. It really is just Frame 1: In the dock, Frame 2: Warped window, Frame 3: Normal window.)

Weird, my genie effect is really smooth. it's slower then a real apple, but not that bad.
I have been using PearPC since the first public release now and I am still very happy with it.
Now, after having installed Panther, I tried to install Mandrake Linux 9.1 PPC - twice, without success.
Everything runs well up to the point, the machine needs to be rebooted at the end of the installation. After reboot, PearPC keeps telling me there's no bootable partition and I have tried every single partition available (in 'select' mode).
I have partitioned the 6GB hard disk image into two partitions under Panther. The first 3GB I left empty (free space) and the second was partitioned as HFS Extended. Then, I began installing Mandrake and let it partition automatically. There was no obvious problem during the installation. So this leads me to the question: What do I have to do in order to be able boot Mandrake Linux?
Any help would be appreciated.
BTW, I also get these artifacts with the latest trunk 0.2pre version (optimized for P4).

i can run expose pretty smoothly
but again my time is really fast
1 minute = 15 seconds
do u thing it has something do do with the redraw rate at 45ms
And again how do i take a dmg and make it iso. Ive tried winiso, nero and just changing the extention none work.
Has anyone done it before?

Just try to mount it again, mine didn't work the first time either. Also, you might need shapeshifter for some themes.

Hehe - quicktime

Movie jumps alot, like its being sped up - must be some problem with PearPC refesh rate, as its probly the same that casues the 1 min = 15 secs prob

Copy the contents of the "CD" to your "hard drive", then try installing from there. I noticed this too...things don't like to install from the "CD".
WillVG, what
exactly is this dmg you're trying to convert to iso, and what're trying to do with it?
