Then change your Expose keys

Also, could someone clarify how to share files between Mac and Windows? I thought I had it setup right...but it still doesn't work. Here's what I did:
OSXSet password on admin account (
bradleyc)
Change computer name to
PearSMB, reboot
Drop an alias to another folder into
PublicWindows:Start, Run,
\\PearSMB.inet (I run a freesco box: the domain is 'inet')
Receive password prompt, enter "bradleyc/*******" (user/pass)
Window for OSX opens, revealing one folder: "BradleyC"
Double-click, nothing happens for 60 seconds;
BONG! computer is not responding, moron!!
So now what do I do?

To reduce "risks" I would do the following:
1. make a new user i OS X with easy userid/pass.
2. Connect to the OS X IP-adress instead of the name.
Btw, you must start the ftp-server in OSX first! (i am not at the right computer at the moment so i can not guide you here. Was however logical).
NOTE: I am not sure if the denomination was ftp-server or file-shareing or whetever it was (not at the right computer as i said)

The CVS currently has the networking checked in. I haven't asked anyone, but I have a hunch that the reason why the Fullscreen patch isn't checked in is because its only for Windows. And about the "mouse", well, the mouse has always worked.. so I don't know what you mean...
Does anyone know any MSNIM or AIM contact info for the developers? I'd love to talk to them for a few minutes.. lol

Since many reply in this forum I guess I can ask here.
I got a Mac G4 Cube for free, but it had no harddrive in it when I got it.
I tried to put in my Western Digital 61,5gig that I formated with FAT, but when I started my mac and booted up everything was going really slow and it didnt find my harddrive.
What can I do, someone help me
wow. this thread is HUGE. on my setting its 58 pages long!

that's a lot. what's the largest thread on neowin? is there a way to find out?

Actually, no it didnt.. lol. I created a new HD image using fsutil (as i've described earlier), and looked at it in a text editor. Luckly the editor I used showed "null characters", and turns out thats all the image is ;-). So its a nice 5-7 line loop, and viola, image file created :-).
In other news, besides me feelign sick, my mother just went to the hospital with heart attack symptoms
I think I'm going to work a little harder now, just so I can stay up and wait for some answers. Who knows, there might be a build in a few hours :-).
hey -- best wishes to your mom

dont hold me too it, but i think your best bet would have been to delete the partition that you had on there before and leave it empty. when your cube boots, it should find an empty drive... at leasts that i would figure. when you get into the installer, run the disk utility and format in os x extended or extended journaled and i cant see where you'd have any problems with the install. good luck
ForeverUnknown: it should work fine, i deleted it in 10.1 and in 10.3, but i dont think it sends it unless you tell it too, or at least it implies as much. but if you drop it in the trash folder, you shouldnt have to worry about trying to explain why you have os x running on x86 hardware and why you didnt pay for it. because of rules though, i would recomend not asking something about it not being legit and how not to get caught. as it stands, i just broke them for telling you how... think thats a first and it will be the last, as i do value being able to come to the site and post. good luck with that though.

New "SDL" version
http://www.emaculation.com/phpBB/viewtopic.php?t=1522I copy files to pearpc go to cmd and type :

but nothing happend.
This is my new config file :

#yres = 864
xres = 800
yres = 600
##
## Loader
##
##
## Boot method
## this can be
## 1. "auto", prom will boot the first bootable partition found (default)
## 2. "select", prom will show you a list of bootable partitions
## 3. "force", prom will load and boot the local file prom_loadfile
##
prom_bootmethod = "auto"
## Example of how to use "force":
#prom_bootmethod = "force"
#prom_loadfile = "test/yaboot"
#prom_env_bootpath = "disk"
##
## bootargs: don't change unless you know what you are doing
## machargs: set to "-v" to get a verbose startup
##
#prom_env_bootargs = ""
prom_env_machargs = "-v"

## This is needed if you want to boot Mac OS X
##
prom_driver_graphic = "C:\Documents and Settings\Piotr\Pulpit\PEARPC\pearpc-0.1.2-win32-jitc\video.x"
## This will adjust the position of the initial page table (don't change)

Announcing the relase of PearPCFront Beta 1!
It's currently a work-in-progress.. but when you run it, you'll get the overall jist of things. Just one thing to note for now, your PearPC binaries must be in the \installdir\PearPC folder. I've included Richard Goodwin's "05.31.04, 12AMEDT" standard build with this.

If anyone has any PearPC problems, that is unrelated to this app. The only problem you could ever have is if it generated a bad config file ;-).

Somehow.. this has something to do with image files. If I use my already-installed OS X image file, PearPC works. If I use a fresh one (to install OSX), it video.x errors.

As for the weird thing, somehow the video.x error isn't the error, because all that I'm doing is running the pearpc exe file and...
*Wow*
Okay, my appoligies. Ya see, I knew I overlooked soemthing :-). I'm giving the config file the value "video.x", without the path too it! As a quick fix, try copying video.x to the folder with your secondary image file (i put it in the primary, it didnt work, and i put it in the pearpcfront folder and it didnt work).

u know why the sdl version dont work
cause u gotta download the source file/archive look at pearpc.net
then u gotta get the ppc-sdl.exe and the dll
then u compile in cygwin
see the sdl is compiled yet u cant just stick the ppc-sdl.exe in ure current ppc directory cause thats an different version

The SDL build doesn't support the fs_refresh entry in the config file.
Remove it or comment it out and it'll run.
Beware. In Windows the keymap is messed up, it's impossible to type in the virtual Mac. The shift key is G or something, all mixed up
