I don't have a mac right now, is there any way to do it on windows?

I have been trying this but I cant get it to boot can anyone telly me what this error message means?
I'm not sure that I setup my img file properly. The error is APPLEMAC IO TEST FAILS

Follow the Darwin installation for creating the right partitions to your hard disk.

This might feel like a kick in the balls...

http://pearpc.sourceforge.net/installmacos.html

Note step four.



I don't think a full Darwin Installation is required, only the partitioning.

We're done with the partition map. Enter reboot and wait for PearPC to quit.

Now restart PearPC.

Wait again (and possible wait some more again) and when asked enter  1 as device, 0 as partition and then yes to confirm  the installation to the selected disk.

I'm building an unofficial guide (like I did for SheepShaver) for PearPC. You can follow it over at E-Maculation.

http://www.emaculation.com/phpBB/viewtopic.php?t=934

I left out the whole Darwin partitioning bit, but I'm feeling lazy/tired at the moment.

If anyone who has successfully gotten Mac OS X to the installer or beyond sees something that I'm not doing (or doing wrong) in the guide, please let me know.

still no answer, what is JITS?

this may sound dumb but is this only for osx? i think i have a os 9 cd somewhere and possible a jaguar one.

dazzla has.

http://www.twistedcpu.com/tim/desktops/mac/virgin_mac.jpg looks so fimilar lol

He did a good photoshop then it says dazzala where tim is. Anyone can open that screen. but then again, it is dazzla lol, tricky guy he is.

atleast im getting somewhere
might try 2 versions one with darwin installed and one without darwin to see how it goes

actually wondering if anyone has played with the ram hex in the config file ichanged it to 0x080000 and it still ran but i dont really know what its doing

Well, this is the 0.1 version. Apparently the JITC (Just it time compiler) version is going to be anywhere between 10-100 times faster.

Add to this the fact that it will be easy for someone with a bit of know-how to start selling PCs with OSX pre-installed (running ontop of say, Debian) and having everything working as soon as you get it out of the box, will mean that Apple is looking in a BAD position with this tool.

If it got a lot faster and a translation from OSX graphic requests straight into the windows driver was possible, it would mean that all the effects would work too.

This is going to be very intresting and I'm sure when Apple hears about this they will not be very happy.
