Guys, lets please try to stay on topic here. This is a PearPC thread; not a lets talk about converting icons thread or lets talk about other virtual machine applications thread!
Keep the questions on topic, and this 100+ page thread will contain useful information; wander off, and it will be ignored and disreguarded.

Virtual PC running Windows XP wouldn't be as slow as running Mac OS X on PearPC IMO...
What I said is "inside Virtual PC for MAC". Imagine how slow Windows XP would be running within Virtual PC for MAC inside PearPC.

Make sure that you save the config file. Also, make sure that you don't have a setting checked that isn't supported by your version of PPC (Right click option isn't enabled on the current standard versions, so don't check that) and things like that. PearGUI is my favorite front end right now. Simple and effective!
Which version supports the right-click functionality?

I have the SDL version, but when I right-click, nothing happens.
Also, on a related note, i tried installing Azureus in PearPC yesterday and it keeps crashing. Why?

I heard the newest version 2.1.0.0 is not running right on OS X. Try one of the earlier versions.

How do you work the Mouse in the SLD build? Any way to lock it within the window?

Thank you, I mashed some keys while holding F9 and it seems to be Shift + F9.
Now, is there any way to get Fullscreen on a secondary monitor?

If you have an nVidia card, go to your display properties. Click the Settings tab, go to Advanced, go to the nVidia control panel. Look for the Overlay and Full Screen options. Find the one that controls which display will be the "full screen" display. Select your Secondary monitor. Then try Shift-F12 in PearPC. It should go to monitor 2.

Sorry but I have an ATI card. Thanks so much for helping.
Yes, is there any way of capturing the mouse into the window other than going fullscreen, its a pain trying to position it right.
*edit* After i reboot PearPC it comes back to the login screen, i click my login and check my password is in right and i get a pop up box saying
"You cannot continue logging in at this time, There is a problem that prevents you from logging in at this time, Please contact your system administrator for help"
any ideas?
Restarted PearPC and it works fine now, must have been a glitch
*edit* Harrrrrrr posting this from safari, OSX is sleek
I can't log in this error comes up:

I can't log in this error comes up:
I get that everytime i log into OS X, i just push OK and everything is good. i have a feeling that it has something to do with .mac, but dont hold me too it as my experiance with OS X is still fairly lacking. in anycase, if you want to bypass that error, go into users in system preferences and turn on auto login for your user. when i had auto login turned on, i did not recieve that message.

I am having a new problem with PearPC - SDL : it seems that my arrow keys no longer work. Is this a known bug? For instance, I can't key through a block of text, and can't use Option-Shift-Home/End to erase the address bar in my browser. For now, I can get around using the mouse and cursor as an i-beam. If I need to erase the address bar, 3 clicks and backspace.
But why the fark isn't the keyboard working?
I got the same popup everytime I log in to panther.

It flashes and closes because it's a dos window!!!
go to run command and execute ppc with the configfile!
When I attempt to enable ICS on my wireless connection I get this...
Try using a bridge instead, its easier.
You only have to select your LAN connection with the TAP on and right click and create a bridge.
I'm working with a bridge now since I have a router and I didnt want to change my network settings.
I tried a bridge earlier, but then my wifi stopped working.

Looking at your config, it shouldnt be booting into OSX at all, you havent set up the img files, unless your under linux, in which case ignore me

any idea why?
You've got a forward slash and a backwards slash:
"C:\PearPC/HD-OS-X-Panther-PREP.img"
It should be:
"C:\PearPC\HD-OS-X-Panther-PREP.img"
Same with the CD, should be:
