how did you get to load a theme syph? the apply now button for me in shapeshifter is off or something.

Ah man its all a blur to me LOL.

Well double click on the theme file it should open the shapeshifter. Also i noticed i had to download shapeshifter twice, the 1st download was corrupt! So download and reinstall it again... and when you apply the theme there is an indicator of the time it takes to install the theme at the bottom of shapeshifter notice it moves veeeeery slowly, so you have to wait and restart pearpc.

according to Daniel, Altivec was successfully emulated in the Generic CPU (if im not mistaken this happened earler today). it is not implemented in the JITC build. and the addition of altivec means only compatibility improvements (as in apps that require it will now run). there is technically no speed improvements from it according to him.

use shift+f9 to take control of the mouse like before and shift+12 for full screen.

can anyway explain why i can't switch resolutions within mac os x in any of the SDL builds? here's my config:

#ppc_start_resolution = 5
#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"

Is this your entire config file? You need to change resolution before you go full-screen.

edit: I just downloaded the latest build. WOW! The clock is accurate! The animations are the correct speed! This is an important milestone in the development of PearPC.

check that out !!!!

somehow i don't think that's accurate but hey! it's nice to see a number finally!

Mine says about 320MHz, but that's because Hyperthreading is turned on, and this app can't use both "virtual" CPUs. I'll turn it off when I reboot and see what it reads then.

yea I also think thats not right .. first time I ran it .. it said 885 MHz .. but now its saying 559 MHz .. weird

works much better then the previous builds.

Now that the clock is working, I'm guessing the highest priorities for the developers are, in order:

• Full emulation of Quartz Extreme (OpenGL 2D & 3D)
• Sound
• Peripherals (Firewire, USB)

I rather have it work faster then have smooth OS X effects.

i been outta the loop for a while, can anyone link me to the latest most stable version w/ networking enabled and if there are any differences in loading it can you tell me how?

http://richardgoodwin.com/pearpc/downloadc...n32newclock.exe

has anyone else been having problems getting networking to work with sdl version of ppc. networking worked for the tap32 v.16 drivers, but when i updated to 2.0 and started using sdl, networking stopped working. i've followed the instructions of many guides and when i go into network connections in OSX it says that my port is currently active, but i still can't connect to the internet

Check to be sure that 1) you have OSX 10.3.4, and that 2) your LAN and TAP driver are bridged together in Windows.

If this is the case, then do the following:

1. Shut down PearPC.
2. Delete NVRAM from the PearPC install folder.
3. Open the config file and comment out the following lines: (put a "#" at the beginning)

4. Save the config file.
5. Relaunch PearPC.
6. Go to Networking, Click "Show > Network Ports" and remove all the adapters except Built-in Ethernet.
7. Shut down PearPC.
8. Remove the comment marks from Step 3. Change the last two digits of the MAC address.
9. Save the config file.
10. Relaunch PearPC.
11. Go to Networking, a box pops up that you have a new adapter.
12. Configure said adapter for Automatic DHCP.
13. Click "Apply Now."

This method has never failed me.

hmm, still didn't work

Can someone help me with the SDL build? I can't seem to get it to work. I downloaded the .exe (clock somthing) and the ppc-sdl, but it gives me an error about no sdl.dll, i can' t find that anywhere.

didn't work for me either. I got to the point wher you boot for the 2nd time and mine doens't boot. it says missing file.

Yay! Mine says its a 659MHz

But it I cant get networking with this new build.
And everytime I try to click on Monitors in System preference, it crashes.

Lower the amount of RAM you are allocating for the program, go for something like 128mb. If that works try 256mb.

Lifesaver

Thanks

Ok so i started using the new clock version and my cpu registers at 533 mhz . From what ive heard about the power pc processor the speed is double to equal what u would have on and intel chip right? SO technicaly im running a 1066 mhz machine.

osx is still a little sluggish.

My network has a green light but fails to connect to the internet. Dont know if it is this version or if it is the new firmware update to the linksys routers.

Oh well Atleast i still have a green light

willvg, i'm having the same problem, green light but no internet...lemme know if you find out how to fix it

how come I am labelled at 320MHz with a 2.8GHz when people with lower specs are twice that. I have hyperthreading, is that why?

I dont think PearPC use HyperThreading its might be why you only get a 320MHz...

Anyway this number isnt accurate, its different everytime I use PearPC

600th post yay!

i really want to have a go at this but im petrified of screwing up my pc (just spent over a week setting up all the pcs in thehouse and wireless network stuff)

anyone fancy talking me through it on msn?

cheers

damn, mine says 750 MHz

But i got a damn weird problem... it should be in 800x600 x 15 but its over 1024x768

i cant get the SDL build to run,can someone help me,it i got the sdl.dll in there,but the Pearpc box just pops and goes away,can someone help?

Run it via command prompt so you can see what error message is being shown before it quits.

i get a pop up window that says it wasn't found and to reinstall it.

i got it working,sorry,i was just confused for a minute

I also got another weird problem, my mouse "go out" of the pearpc window and out to my desktop

So my mouse is "FUBAR"

So i can't even get the system information box to see how many MHz it "gives" me

But i got 750 MHz on my laptop, but the mouse is also "FUBAR" but i some how manged to get the system information box

But is there a fix for that mouse bug?

where did you get the dll

HERE

sure .. I got nothing to do today .. check ur PM ..

I haven't followed this thread for a while and wondered if someone could answer a couple of questions on the progress:

Is it still incredibly slow? Does the reported speed related to the speed it is operating at - is it running at the equivalent of 500Mhz speed-wise for you guys that have this in your about box?

Cheers

not incredibly slow .. I have an iMac 333 .. it runs kinda like 2x/3x slower than my iMac .. even though it says 559 MHz

is it only me thats got problems with the mouse and screen ?, couse it weird since its the same on my desktop and laptop

hrm.. my keyboard doesn't work.. or it does, but the keys are remapped?

anyone?

thanks!

mine runs at 850
mines not that fast, but its finally usable. Now if i could get to the internet........

I still can't get the networkd drivers. I try to boot without the #'s and it won't.
i get a can not locate any tap-win32 device error

This new SDL build with the new clock is really awesome, I'm typing this reply in Camino and took this screenshot and then converted it to JPEG using Photoshop - all on a PearPC Mac

photoshop? what the fu.......isn't photoshop slow on it? my pearpc runs fine but enough for PS?!
EDIT: what redraw rate are you running at?

Photoshop runs fine; it just takes about a minute to fully load. Most of us are using the SDL, so there is no 'redraw' rate. It's as fast as it can go.

Yes, it is quite slow but still useable, much faster than I expected. Actually the whole system runs surprisingly well.

The worse thing about PearPC is that having experienced MacOSX I feel a sudden urge to buy myself a Mac. Now the question is: where to get money from?...

wait,i'm running the SDL build too,but my config says redraw rate,urizen,can you give me your config plz?

My redraw is set to 50 but it's from my old config from before the SDL build so I guess now the setting is useless.

ok,thnx,could you give me your config anyways,pm me or something plz

Here's my entire config but I don't think it will be of any use, I guess it's pretty standard:
