Is it normal to have to reinstall OSX after overwriting the old ppc executable with this new SDL build? (no configs touched here)

I'm asking because that's what I've had to do. I copied over sdl.dll and the new ppc 0.3pre SDL newclock blah blah blah, launched it, but it didn't see my already existing OSX installation from my PantherImage.img. So now I'm reinstalling it.

Is this normal? I'm not THAT upset since it's only taking 30-60 minutes (so far) on a new installation rather than 2-3 hours as before, but it sucks that I have to redownload and reinstall everything I had prior.

I finally got it to work with my original img. I just used Emon's fixboot tutorial and it's running with 0.3 now smile.gif

can anyone help me get networking to work so I can access the net?

I have installed the win tap 32 network thing and windows detects a connection when osx starts, but the card is always assigned a 169 ip address. I have followed the earlier advice and it still getting the same IP, if i assign things manually i still cannot access the net. Anyone any ideas?

Thanks

Hi Guys, long time reader, just registered. Anyway I am trying to network in OSX 10.2 which was installed from a Powermac G4 recovery disk. The TAP driver is installed, and PPC detects it, but when i go and set it up in OSX, this is what happens

Warning: 2304x1024 (dual screen) file sorry if its too big blush.gif

Apex.
I really do find .03 SDL quite a bit faster than the older versions tho smile.gif (Probably the most obvious difference...)

Guys, I have to say, PearPC .2 by the original author is really great. Amazing speed increase. And with me having a low end processor I can finally go below 100 redraws and still keep great performance. I suggest you all try it out.

And I'm sorry if this has been asked, but I can't be bothered reading through 184 pages to find the answer. But I'm using 10.3.4 and whenever I try to turn on the rtl network driver for the Tap32 method and load up the config it gives me the error:

unknown identifier 'pci_rtl8139' in line 110

I looked this up on emaculation forums and people were saying to use a different version of PPC, but it still showed up in all the versions I tried...
klop
It should looks like that :

pci_rtl8139_installed = 1
pci_rtl8139_mac = "de:ad:ca:fe:12:35"

I got the new ppc.pre03.SDL.win32newclock build off of Richard Goodwin's site and a SDL dll from somewhere on this thread, but I can't seem to get PearPC to run anymore.
If i try to run it, i don't get any error, it just doesn't pop up the normal window.

also, could someone post a link to the tap driver I need, I need to reinstall it and forgot where I found it.

here is my config:
CODE
ppc_start_resolution = 8
redraw_interval_msec = 20
prom_driver_graphic = "video.x"
prom_bootmethod = "select"
prom_env_bootargs = ""
prom_env_machargs = ""

pci_ide0_master_installed = 0

And thanks Klop, that fixed the unknown error, but right now I'm too busy to test further.

I'm at the 'Select a Destination Volume' part of the installation right now, but there is no choices to choose from! What should I do now? sad.gif

Step 4.

Either you can use the Disk Utility or Darwin.

Btw, Klop, I believe that fixed the networking problem, I did manage to start up PearPC fully this time, but still am too busy to let it load OSX. Thanks again.

actually, installing the tap fixed the problem.....

Is there anything I should change in my config to make the animations run smoother? I noticed I had to change the screen setting to 4 instead of 8. what are the new resolution numbers now?

someone help me! got a Network problem. My DOS says this

[IO/3c90x] acknowledge(00000010) mIntStatus now = 00000000

I have it configure right i think. My XP show a connection (when i exit it says it dropped it) But i can't recognize it in OS X. Looks like the underneath is seening it but the OS isn't

You should try getting the official PearPC .2.
http://pearpc.sourceforge.net/

And for .2, only these are showed in the config.
0: 640x480x15
1: 640x480x32
2: 800x600x15
3: 800x600x32
4: 1024x768x15
5: 1024x768x32

I use 1024x768x32 and it runs pretty good. The only other one I know if is 8 which is a widescreen type resolution.

Sorry if this sound stupid but how would I get the networking and internet to work in pearpc .3. I read that all you have to do is remove the bridge. I have no clue on how to do this. Can anyone help me step by step.

Thanks in advance

S.O.S S.O.S HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

in your ppc config file, turn off Verbose mode, i had that the first time and then i took off verbose and it booted into OSX install normally. in your PPC confic there is a command that has a "-v" at the end of it, put a #(hash) in front of it..

I'm having weirdo problems getting the networking to work how I want it on the new SDL patched build. Networking works when I use ICS, but when I bridge my two adapters, the PearPC can't get an IP address from my LAN's DHCP Server. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling the card a million times...

Anyone know whats going on?
TheReaperMan
tekmaven try it with the pearpc connection(tap32 driver) not bridged, does that fix it??
aka JAWheat411
Yeah. I had that problem before also. I had used internet connection sharing. Then after updating OS X only way I could get internet to work was to bridge the connections. But I removed the bridge and just ICS later and it worked.

I just tried it and am somewhat disappointed. The clock patch doesn't seem to be in it and it was actually slower than some of the nightly builds, especially the new SDL build. mad.gif

Just my $.02 anyway.

just keep in mind that the nightly builds for around a week now have been from the 0.3pre trunk. this 0.2 release was a late release.

also, the sdl builds aren't official. the releases won't be as fast as the sdl ones (since they dont share the same drawing code). also the latest sdl builds have somewhat been taken off of an almost 0.3pre trunk. and the sdl code probably won't be merged with the main trunk.

The clock patch wasnt supposed to be in 0.2 it will be in 0.3 take a look in the changelog.

Thats why im using nightly builds right now.
phalanx126
yeah, the .3 sdl versions are much better than this...the only thing better in this version is the ability to change resolution on the fly...can any tell me why none of the pearpc build will let me go to 1024x768 resolution full screen...i can do it with 800x600, but not with 1024x768 and it's incredibly annoying? i have a 15' flat panel that's sets to 1024x768 in native win xp and i have nvidia desktop manager activated, could that be it?! SOMEONE HELP!

Can someone tell me witch version is the best and where can I download it?
thanks
eaglebtc
Depends on how you define "best." I assume you want the fastest and prettiest version. I would get the 0.3 SDL from http://www.richardgoodwin.com/pearpc . Also, don't forget to remove the bridge in your XP networking, and re-enable Internet Connection Sharing on your primary connection.
santiagomedinasaenz
Whitch one of the should I download, and where should I place them?

Thanks

why disable bridge. I thought that the bridge was the sure fire way to get the internet in pear pc

It works WITH Internet Connection Sharing (Not Bridged), and it does NOT work when it is bridged.

Does anyone know where the "Bong" sound is? It's got to be buried inside a system file somewhere. Or is it only embedded in the BIOS? I'd like a link to it, please.

Also, some of the shortcuts don't quite work. I have a hard time force-quitting on this computer. It would be nice if the developers could lock the keyboard somehow so that Alt-Esc and others like it would not cause Windows to react. I would like to use the Alt-Tab feature in panther but cannot because Windows takes precedence.

I suppose the answer to that last one is, "buy a real mac!" tongue.gif

To use "alt + esc" press F11 then press alt, let go, then esc. Then press F11 again.

thanks
Zip
In my opinion you're best off going here: http://www.neowin.net/forum/index.php?showtopic=167708

follow this guide then download the 0.3sdl build. rename it ppc.exe and replace the old ppc in your pearpc folder. you also must download the sdl.dll from here: http://www.libsdl.org/release/SDL-1.2.7-win32.zip

just drop it into your pearpc folder.
santiagomedinasaenz
DOes any boddy has any idea why when I try to run the ppc, it closes really fast?
is there any application to run the ppc after you allready instaled the os x?
I finished the instalation and now I can't open it, it automaticaly closes.

Plase some one help me

thanks
