I think it uses directx APIs some way or another .. I didn't see any difference in performance though.

Unless something has changed, the nightly non-sdl builds do not support full screen yet, only networking.

I have found that it is works best to use FTP. In the sharing prefrence panel on the Mac VM, enable FTP sharing, then set a fold on the mac VM. In windows, go to "Network places" and add a network place. Type in "ftp://username:password@mac.ip.address" and then it will create a short cut to the Mac FTP share. I find the ftp much more reliable than the normal shares.

I have been able to transfer 100's of mb back and forth this way.

HTH,

Does anyone have a link to that 3GB PREP Image file it seems the Install guide to 10.2 site is gone http://s87840517.onlinehome.us/pearpc.html . Anyhelp would be great thx.

I have a mirror up for my guide ..did you check that ?

http://emon.aaronx.com/pearpc.html

yea I was over my 5 gb limit like within 20 days or so

Thanks Emon

I got networking setup in OS X. I'm typing this in Safari

Well guys remember you told me i had to start all over againg getting another image. The thing is that, that is what i did but now i have another problem

Look at the pic. I don't know wot it wrong but when i run ppc these apears


any ideas of why is these happening?

BTW,

can you name some FTP clients for Mac or is there already something integrated in OS X?
Another question: Is there something I have to respect when updating to 10.3.4 so my network will still work afterwards? I mostly use the latest SDL and the DirectX builds.

i posted this on the last page on so far cant get it to work
i can view pearpc osx on the network on other computers but
dies anyone know if ms remote desktop for osx can on remote from osx to xp
or can i do xp to osx remote

Does anyone know what's wrong? I'm using this guide: http://emon.aaronx.com/pearpc.html.

Could it possibly be my image? I converted it from .CDR to .BIN to .ISO, but the size of the image matches the guide's almost exactly.

I don't use an FTP client in OS X, I do all the FTPing from the windows side. If I need to get something out of Pearpc, I put it in the shared folder and pull it from the PC side.

After installing Mac OSX how do you run it again? I tried putting ppc ppccfg.osx in the command promp but then it just runs the installation again.

Disable the CD.

Fetch is a really good FTP client for the Mac.

hmm .. boot off the install CD (CD 1) and run disk utility. See if it finds any drive .. if it does then run "Repair disk" on it.

Why dont you create an .iso image straight from your Mac OS X CD/DVD?
Then you could be sure that the image is valid!

Hmm may be a repeat but on G4TechTV ...the screensavers they are going to show and talk about running OS X on a PC. Turn it on....

That IS CD1 that does not boot...

Could someone help me?

I had to atart everything again, like you guyd told me to do. Now I can't run it because i don't know what problem is coming out.

Any tips ideas, please something i want to run OS X 10.2 on my XP, please! Please


Ok Look at the pic and tell if you know what is wrong or if i'm using the right version, and what should i do

My "Add a network place" function, doesn't work. When I start it, it searches infinitely, without finding anything. This is very odd.

But shouldn't it also work, the other way round, making my host PC a FTP server, so I could access the files from my Mac VM?

Does any of you know, if there's a freeware FTP client for Mac OS X out there?

http://www.versiontracker.com/php/search.p...macosx&x=13&y=8

OMG! I just figured out a way to make applications load MUCH faster!

Just set the dock to auto-hide. Apparently those little bounces take up a LOT of CPU time. It used to take programs like Thoth and Fetch over 30 seconds to start. Now they load in just 5 seconds or less.


Also, I think the long term implication for this is that pearPC will get a HUGE speed boost if it can figure out how to directly access the graphics card for drawing objects on screen.

it doesn't recognize a HD, i've tried 6 and 3, i think i need darwin. I downloaded it but its a .gz I can't turn it into a iso, i managed but its not bootable. I need some help.

Opio have you figured out your problem? Same thing is happening to me.

can anyone tell me why i can't change my resolution in the sdl build of ppc?! here's my config:

#ppc_start_resolution = 4
#fs_refresh_rate = 60
redraw_interval_msec = 40
prom_bootmethod = "select"
prom_env_bootargs = ""
prom_env_machargs = ""
#prom_driver_graphic = "video.x"
memory_size=0x10000000
pci_ide0_master_installed = 1
pci_ide0_master_image = "macosx_6gb_unjournaled.img"
pci_ide0_master_type = "hd"
pci_ide0_slave_installed = 1
pci_ide0_slave_image = "macosx.iso"
pci_ide0_slave_type = "cdrom"
pci_rtl8139_installed = 1
pci_rtl8139_mac = "de:ad:ca:fe:12:34"
pci_usb_installed = 1
nvram_file = "nvram"

nevermind

Yes, it was the Panther image I was using... reripped and it works like a charm now.

Since then, I've updated 1.3 -> 1.3.4 and now networking no longer works

My setup: Panther 10.3.4, Windows XP Host, Ethernet Bridge.

I have had no luck getting file sharing to work between mac & windows, no matter which platform is sharing files. FTP is hardly functional; LIST-ing works, but as soon as I start transferring files, things just stop cold.

Any ideas?

ok, i got it installed on to the virtual hd, but how do i boot from it. I put a 0 so theres no CD, but it tells me that theres bot bootable drive.

follow these steps ..

http://emon.aaronx.com/fixboot.html

Step 4: A command line prompt will appear. Run command "pdisk" (with out the " ")

I don't get it. when i load it up ithere is no command prompt, just the choice of #'s.

There's something else you gotta change in the config file, look for this line:

prom_env_machargs = ""

Put -s in between the quotes and you'll get the command prompt. I was in the same situation you were too haha When you're done doing all the steps in the boot procedure, change that back to just "" and it should boot.

How can i get the cd?
My computer is too slow ,i can't download it fully..
help..

little help, i tried chaning Cd's but noting, tryed disabling it, nothing

sorry guys, i've found my problem. i cn't edit my last message either.
also when people did the boot fix, did it type really fsat llike multiple letters are once?

hell even after trying to understand for sooo long , i cant make any sense of whatever you are discussing , so that means no osx on mah pc !!!

Hello!
I just got my new computer together and PearPC is off the wall! It boots in about 20-30 seconds to the desktop! I can minimize and open stuff great, and I got networking together in about a minute and a half!

I am posting this from OS X 10.3.4 with IRC, Konfabulator, Adium, and 3 safari windows open and it runs smooth. Just though I would share my success story!

can someone help me with setting up the internet on OS X? I'm running XP,

You people are so cool!! I was watching The Screen Savers and Kevin showed pearpc with OSX running. Can't wait to try it out!!!!

i try to download stuff in mac and when it's done it says mount failed and then i can't open it. what do i need to do?

just double click on it in Finder

hmm.. must of been a bad download because i just downloaded something else and it worked.

It happens about 50% of the time. Just double-click to re-mount.

how come i can't apply a theme i select in shapeshifter?

is pearpc still being developed, or has work halted on the project?

Phalanx: It's very much alive and active. Infact, soemone has Alvitec enabled without GUI artefacts (meaning we will see big speed increases and Alvitec in the next release, hopefully). Check below for screenshots:

Theres a new build of PearPC SDL with the new clock! The bouncing, progress bar and cursors animations are now correct!!
The new SDL build is from the 0.3pre cvs! "ppc.pre03.SDL.win32newclock.exe"
I also noticed a speed improvement when loading apps.

You can get it here :
http://www.richardgoodwin.com/pearpc/sdlbuilds.php

Thanks alot for that, the build is FAST! A very nice improvement i would say, not perfect but certainly very nice.

BTW there are some windows/osx mouse issues with this, the f12 mouse thing doesnt work. All you do is put your mouse over the program and it will start working in osx! But sometimes the allignment is totally wrong and you cant control it. Any fixes for this??
