Um, you can use Virtual PC to run XP on a Mac, but you'll still need OS X since VPC is only a program. You can't boot straight to XP like a PC or anything.And it will be slow since its all being emulated.

Get that **** out of here you f*g.

Dam! I was hoping for a duel boot system.

I suppose that, further down the road, it will be possible to create a Linux distro that automatically loads OSX at boot. I think that will be as close as we get to dual booting - although I don't think it will offer any advantages in comparison to running it in the Windows. It will still be emulated.

poop

Thanks for that valid contribution Mr Troll

wtf.... if your going to spam say something better than that

pearpc is piece of ****. it spand me two hours just do nothing but some letters running

ROFL. that was a good comment. That helped a us a lot. I'm soo happy we have people like that in this forum.

At least edit the Trillian skin so it doesn't display Danimator's name. Instructions come with the skin, for God's sake.

It's not pearpc's fault you can't RTFM. Plenty of us have gotten Panther to run, and not that slowly either.

Maybe they'll find away to do just that, with a windows os, as well. But I would guess such work would take longer.

Is there a way to get the TAP driver working for WinXP SP2? I've installed the OpenVPN Driver (beta 2 and every incremential beta after that) to no avail, even after reinstalls and reboots. The network connection is never shown in the network connections folder, nor is it being detected by PearPC. It *DOES* however show up in the device manager. Also obviously there is no ICS option in SP2's connection advanced tab, so all those pretty guides for WinXP are no longer valid for SP2. What can I do at this point to get networking working on PearPC?

I have SP2 and OpenVPN 2.0b2 installed. PearPC runs fine. I don't know what you're doing wrong. Maybe I can help you?

First of all, it is not necessary to reboot after installing OpenVPN.
Secondly, make sure you follow the instructions exactly.
Thirdly, ICS will not show up if there are no devices to share the connection with. If you have no other networking devices on your PC (including Firewire) then you won't get ICS.

Hi

It is much easyier to to Internet Connection with an external proxy.
Just download AnalogX Proxy, set the bind address to 10.0.0.1 and enable HTTP and FTP.
And so you just have to configure the card in OS X and the Proxy there. It's just nice :-)

anyone got a mirror of this build?

here you go. And here's what you have to do to get native CD-Rom support

quote from pearpc.net forum

ladies and gentlemen here's my mac

The first build of PearPC with sound emulation is out.

This is feature most of you awaited for. This is the first build of This build includes Soundcard emulation , so it enables users to output sound from the client operting system such as MacOS X
from pearpc.net

Download here

cool,thanks for the heads up man

The link you posted has an error so here it is again.
Thanks for the heads up.

Please do not use these builds .. The author of these builds is not following the GPL licensing agreement and he/she is not releasing the source to the main developers of PearPC. Can a mod please edit my post and take down the link ?

so what kinda speed advances has this made since the first few versions?

@Emon, these builds are made from code pulled from the CVS and applied with a publicly available patch to the code (on sourceforge). the source IS available. the builds themselves have nothing to do with who's coding it. you might want to check the PearPC sourceforge page

@Skywing, depends on which was the last build you tested the sound build is kinda chuggy for me. but the non sound build is awesome (744MHz G3)

Is this emulation ALL done in the CPU? Can the graphics/vectoring be offloaded into the GPU yet? Is that where the project is heading?

CPU emu = done on CPU and some of it is being moved to special x86 extensions (MMX, SSE, 3dnow!)
Video emu = currently on CPU. there are plans to move this to video hardware. but very little has been mentioned in the devel-list about this
Sound emu = currently seems to be done in CPU. there's not much special on this so it's not much use moving to hardware accel on this. dunno. they're emulating a simple sound card.

@Menge, thanks I would have thought as much. Performance isn't really going to get much better until they start using the graphics card too

i thought the fastest it got was a 0 MHz g3

I've lost the interest in mac osx on pc now.. im too into longhorn Aero.. , my thread has come a long way..

errr i gots a problem can some one help ?

u need to change ure partition tables

Ok thanks. i will try and find out what i need to do.

mmm i dont see what i need to change... or even how to change it for that matter.
-sorry, new to this.

It's definitely been covered in this thread at least ten times.

ok i tried search... i will dig through the 206 pages. instead

here .. try this ..

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

sweeet .... thanks i will give this a go then install OSX

EDIT didnt work: *my edited config file:*

did you even read my guide ??

thats what my guide says. and look at your config file ..


you have to boot from the CD image to fix this problem.

This is all I think the project needs now.

A linux distro that includes everything you need for pearpc and after it is all configured, it boots to OSx automatically.

Wouldn't that rock? It would be nearly dual booting OSX and XP (Or whatever other operating systeme you use)

mmmm, no i havent read your guide i read Pulse's guide.

so whats happening with the emu anyways? last thing i heard about it was that one of the developer got ran over by a train.....did the other guy keep working on it

@Rudy: After Stefan was hit by the train (*snif*) the developpers worked on... They released PearPC 0.3.1 some weeks ago. On pearPc.net you find Releases of PPC 0.4pre, which are very nice (Native CD-ROM Support/Sound Support) and the 0.4pre works a good bit faster than the official 0.3.1...

And now we are waiting fpr 0.4 :-)

KlyX

Wow he was hit by a train? damn im so sad to hear that did he survive? ...

no he did not, i believe

Ok...when I open pearpc I get the pearpc window but it says there are zero bootable partitions...how do i make one?

well the latest news at perpc.net and emaculation.com is that pearpc is up to 0.4 pre and there is semi sound support and full cd support. Along with accurate proccesor readings and the timings have been fixed

@v_magal: No, he did no survive :-(

anyone seen this,MXS today announce the immediate availability of Cherry OS software. Cherry OS is a software translator that allows you to install Apple's Operating System on x86 computer architecture. To put it simply, you can now run Apple's award winning Panther OS on your PC! This breakthrough in OS development now gives home users, software developers and web designer's ultimate flexibility in both the operating system and hardware platform you use for your personal computer or testing environment.

Cherry OS runs Panther as a virtual machine on your Windows PC. This virtual machine has full network capabilities including the ability to share folders and access the web. The virtual machine also has complete access to the computer's hardware resources including, Hard Drive, CPU, RAM, Firewire, USB, PCI, PCMIA BUS and RJ45/Ethernet and Modem. /http://www.cherryos.com/


pearpc ripoff!

Ok guys, i need some help here. I am new to running Pearpc so I used the program PearPC Control Panel to create a config file and to get PearPC up and running. It seems to be working alright untill a gray screen with the apple logo appears with a spinning circle and this one line keeps repeating in the log window. Any ideas?

directs me to microsoft.com ?!?!
