there you go working osx, networking(downloading the 10.3.4 update from apple)

biggrin.gif

ps i am using 10.3, xp sp rc1 2126 if that helps anyone with the 6gb hd img etc(my config file was posted pages back etc)

I got it working by setting the mac up as dchp, adding the tapi driver net access to my network bridge(as i have 1gb lan, and wlan ap built on my board)

its runnig sweet

For some odd reason when ever I finish installing my CMD prompt says "reset" and then I try to run ppc ppccfg.osx and it will not boot the HDD incase you need to know I used the EMACULATION pre-formatted HDD but I am not sure what is wrong; could someone create a post with a full guide and links to the newest versions of everything and the patched including the fullscreen patched as well as a very good config file?

Thanks,

Bluetooth
uuuhh I am, I had the preformatted and it worked just fine... dont know what your problem is
xSDMx
I'm to lazy to read over 1000 posts as I have been stalking this thread for a while but haven't read the whole thing.... yes.gif

Bluetooth: Maybe it is my config files as I borrowed it from another user and edited it to my using.

i don't have a problem, i just thought i remembered reading early on that there was a problem with using journaled. and i am reinstalling, so i wanted to know if there was. since there doesn't seem to be, i'll use that.

I wish I could get networking sad.gif But ever since I installed OpenVPN and I try to go to Properties of my LAN connection, explorer.exe crashes sad.gif

Is your guys' installation useable? Mine takes like 30 seconds for anything to come up, too slow for usability.

Well, the networking build from that richards site didn't work for me, I had to grab the other one and now it works sweet. I can only imagine where this app will go int he future noexpression.gif


I'm also gagging for 1600 x 1200 full screen usage ohmy.gif

Which version are you using Dazzla? Could you post a link? I'm using SP1.
TheReaperMan
mine runs quite fast, some stuff in osx takes about 2 mins max tho to load etc, speed is quite good considering its only been out a short time
TheReaperMan

did you try manual ip in pearpc(osx), and do you have more than one network card in your pc??

yeah i tried manual, i did exactly as what that tutorial says... in network connections in winXP i have my connection which is shared and the tap-win32 connection.... the tap win32 connection has its ip as 192.168.0.1

when i follow the tutorial says to put it to manual (since dhcp seems to not work) i put my ip in mac os x as 192.168.0.1 but it says it is already in use

-bolero
amr_01
put in like 192.168.0.55 in osx
TheReaperMan
right in your osx set it to 192.168.0.50 subnet 255.255.255.0 see if that fixes it??

bolerodan

Even tho Mac's are overpriced you still need 2 operating systems for this. I assum you will need a fairly fast pc to do this. Even then I still dont see a reason for all this fus. I dont mean to sound like a jerk but it seems to me like a waste of money. That would be like running xp over 98. Please dont take this the wrong way but it might be better to buy a older mac like a g4 900 mhz or something.

Bolero, how did you fix your problem? That is the exact problem I am having at home...
bolerodan

KoL, out of curiosity, post a SS of how you have OS X's network set up

Just as a curious Mac user, how are you all finding the performance of Mac OSX under PearPC? As I can see, many of you have fully customized your OS which probably underlies the assumption that you all are finding the performance to be succesful.

well yeah its not bad performance but not up to true mac speed at all yet(some of the effects are very slow, some software(most biggrin.gif ) runs ALOT slower that normal mac. but the emu is in its very early stage so it should get faster.(I think it needs acces to direct x or quartz emu for it to work at better speeds etc)

Under DNS, add 192.168.1.1, 192.168.0.1, and 192.168.0.0 (all 3 on seperate lists)

ot: Yup, born and San Juan and lived in Guaynabo for a bit, live in Kentucky now blush.gif

@KoL: router address should be 192.168.0.1
