well it works now wierd, just made a new config file lol cool

try that one and tell me what happens

TS

thanks thanks but it already works

Does anybody know how to get into Full Screen mode?

well thats good, what made it work?? full screen?? not yet. still trying to figure out the whole network issue.

TS

full screen just hit F5 if your using the build that supports it

You need to have a full screen build and to add the following line:
fs_refresh_rate = 60 (or whatever suites you eyes and monitor...)

so thats what the page meant when it said to "hit f5 for the magic." doh!

TS

argh! i hate this is not working... again

i think is the 320 MB Ram that is making it not to boot...

edit: yup that is

try with just the 256

TS

just works with
## Main memory (default 128 MiB)

Aww this looks interesting.

Too bad I have no way of obtaining OSX CDs

At least no "legal" way of obtaining them

But, we're not going to get into that again

oh well ill just run it with 128 MB

wink wink == lame lame

hint hint

Generally speaking.

Ebay

the 380KB is the space advailable on the Disk Image. Not the size of the app. And the App is self contained. So all you need to do is Drag and Drop. (Can't do that on a Win now can you?)

You should be able to rip it the same as a CD.

You'll find the answr in the death of a star.

Hint: they are supr bright when they collapse, you know.



BTW, for those of you with Pentium 4's, try turning off HyperThreading. Since PearPC is not HT-enabled, you'll only be getting 50% of your CPU's available horsepower. With HT off, you get 100%.

True.

But I rather getting it from friend than paying $$$ just to be able to emulate it (not even sure it will work). I'll pay for OSX the day I will have a MAC.

p.s: 'getting it from a friend' == lending it to me, no copying involved.

p.s: don't bother saying that 'lending it to me' is still illegal. If a friend would ask you to lend him your WinXP CD to format... would you turn him down telling him to go buy it ? Of course not

Mac are the ONLY way to LEGALLY run OSX. And a Mac would probably be cheaper than Apple sueing you for breaking the license agreement that you agreed to.

Some of the screenshots in this thread look amazing
This really looks like an excellent app. Props to the developers.

The Apple marketing team should see this as a very nice opportunity to get PC people to choose MAC tomorrow. IF MAC OS X is that good that they claim, people trying this might change system next time.

See it like this.
Would any private person that today use PC choose MAC without trying?
Would any company use the MAC version of Photoshop running PearPC instead of the PC version?
Would any person PearPC professionally as a MAC instead of using the PC running equivalent PC program?

I think that all questions are answered with "no" and that the Apple people should be happy and see this as an opportunity for a larger market share.

But, logical thinking and MAC-baptised people does not always stick together …

My 0.2$ ...


Now, could someone help me get my TAP-card into MAC OS X?

the only thing you do by running it on a PC is break the license agreement and you loose technical support from apple thats about it.

This has got me intrested already, how fast does it run now? can you scroll a webpage without delay? How long does the install take on a Pentium 4 HT?

Heh I can't even move my cursor on it , it comes to the bit where it says select language and then I get stuck!

Whenever I press f12 the whole thing just freezes until I press f12 again


Edit: I unloaded window blinds and now the cursor moves fine?

Did you actually read the Agreement?

Clear off, this is old ground. you can see buy reading this thread none off us give a crap about that, you can see buy other threads people don't give a crap about unofficial build of longhorn either. It is their choice, if you don't agree then start a threand and moan there (i'm sure it will be as popular as this one).

OK, after spending many hours on getting networking installed, it still does not work. I've come to the conclusion that 10.1 does not the TAP nic. i've seen a few people running 10.1 that have the same problem as myself. that being, that pearpc loads the tap driver and states that its emulating the nic... windows gives the emulated nic an ip or you can assign it yourself, but in any case, OS X does not find a new nic. so unless someone running 10.1 that got networking to work, can tell me and others what we're doing wrong, i feel it safe to assume that the TAP driver does not function with 10.1.

TS

PS: i hope someone can prove me wrong

has anyone tried 10.3.4 ?

ive finally purchased 10.3, gonna try it out when my exams finish cant wait

a word of advice..

do not install the 10.3.4 update! Networking is not present.. The card in osx says that the cable is unplugged (wtf!).. hope someone makes a fix for that one..

...Numero Uno

I have 10.3.4 and networking works fine.. Check your settings

Konfabulator is now my best friend

ubersheep.. what settings..

haven't changed any settings since I installed the 10.3.4 update.

edit: never mind.. problem fixed.. fix

any idea if the network & full screen patched download on http://www.richardgoodwin.com/pearpc/ is updated nightly like the optimized builds?

any good guides or mac sites out there? (neomac.net)

Yeah I get that too.

yeah baby! yeah!


thanks a lot, u guys !!
thx for your help!!

Well I still can't enable ICS.
I have changed my routers IP to 192.168.0.2 but I still get the can't enable ICS error on my connection.

Does anybody know how to change the dock icons? KoL?

Well I managed to enable it now by enabling it on the TAP connection first then tried it again on my wirless connection and it swapped it over.
However now the ICS is enabled I get in the DOS box:

Could not locate any installed TAP-WIN32 devices.

EDIT: Although the ICS is enabled its only enabled on LAN not on the TAP device.

sorry if this has been answered, i read thru the first 20 pages and i'm out of time. i have to leave...

i just installed CD1 but now it's asking for CD2, when i enter it in the config, it just sits there and does nothing, and when i tell it to boot the HD, it says i need to boot CD2, and if i tell it to boot CD1, it boots installation all over again.

how do i finish the installation?

nemo read here http://s87840517.onlinehome.us/pearpc.html

thank you sir, i will try it.

You have:

cpu_pvr = 0x00176604

What CPU is that? I have found a few others, but this isn't one that I am familiar with.

how the hell are they going to sue you? they dont know where you are do they?

for some reason when i enable the network card in the config file ppoc wont start i get the command prompt window and closes quick

you need to change then in Applications the drag them to the dock
more info about changeing the icons here - http://www.xicons.com/help/
