And if you put a very high redraw interval value (in ms), it refreshes the display less often, but speeds up dramatically the cpu/mem/hd side of things.
It makes it very slugglish to use, BUT makes it much faster to boot!

I'd suggest using like 600 (if not higher) for the first long install, then 50 (if not lower) to play with the emulator once OSX is installed... and impress your mates!

can someone post a compile of the new cvs?

@leo:
After you run Darwin a first time to make the partition, you must boot darwin one more time.
Where you entered 'shell' the last time, you have to enter 1 (hit Enter) and afterward type 0 (and hit Enter). Then Darwin would create the bootable partitions. When Darwin starts to install, you can shut down PPC and reboot it with the OS-X installation iso.

Good night

Hmmm..something like "Installing Administrator Utilities" or something like that. I think I posted it in this thread yesterday.

You can use iTunes and stuff and I can get beat at a game of Chess (albeit, I wasn't really trying too hard, not that it would have made a difference!)

Kevin Rose just did a segment about this on The Screen Savers... pretty interesting.

Yep, I saw it on TSS too

i never had to do that.

I just booted off the 10.2 isos and used disk utility to create my partition and setup the disk.

I'm going to give this a try tommorow once I find my OS X 10.2 discs

dude that's great! *thumbs up*

The program runs a bit smoother than what I expected But I'm not complaining though

what is your config file can you post it here...also it would be nice to know how you went about the installatino?

http://kevinrose.typepad.com/kr/2004/05/osx_is_running_.html

is that the one that neosoft used?

ok, someone help me plz. I finished my install but now i dont know how to boot from the the img file. The only thing that shows up is the cdrom install again. Thx

Haha, oh man. So much publicity for being out for 2 days.

can't wait to see how good this thing will be running OSX in a few months.

I am really thinking about buying mac os x but I want to try it first. Should i go to a friend who has it (legally) and try it on their computer? I think that by the time i buy os x that a new verson of the emulator will be out for me to play with.

Installed CD1 and also used Disk Manager to format the "hard drive".

Upon "reboot", the system could not boot from the "hard drive".

I suppose this means you really DO need to format the "hard drive" with Darwin.

@XP-Viper: You have to make a change in your Config-File, so that PPC isn't booting automatically from the first device. Search the line:
and change it into "select". So when you reboot you can choose the corect partition...

@Starman: Yes, I suppose too. All these, which have installed OS X without Darwin would have problems, when they want to reboot

OK im having a problem, I formatted using teh disk utility and i get this. I think I know the problem but not sure. Ill try to fix it.

Same problem as the problems above...
You have to use Darwin first. On the PearPC site, there is a short complete docu of what you have to do.

Shut down the ppc and run installation from begining, you'll see everything will be fine.

Tried and failed.

I reinstalled OS X again last night, but the Finder is crashing at all... Is there anyone ho has solved this problem?

Considering the emulator is only version 0.1, id say no.

@Liquid: There is another step: After making the partition and shutdown darwin, you have to activate the partition... So you mus reboot Darwin again and type where you hit 'shell' last time 1 and on the next step 0
After creating the partition you can shutdown and install OS X. This should be work.

I am using the Disk Utility as most of the sucessful installs are using the Disk Utility

I think the author(s) have recognized this issue and it will be fixed in 0.2.

OK I am installing OSX now, all I did is restart like a previous member said. There is absolutly no need for darwin. DO NOT WASTE YOUR BANDWITH.

Do I need CD 2?

First I tried it whitout darwin, but I could not install, because the formatted partition (with the partition manager of the installation) was not bootable... So give a message, if you got it installed AND rebooted without darwin.

EDIT: Yes, you need it for the language files. And if you install apps you need it too.

Ok heres what I did, I formatted with teh disk utility, and I got the message so i closed pearpc and rebooted and it said it was bootable. Odd but its working

That's really funny. When you start ppc, there is a short moment where you see the bootable partitions... The IMG would only be bootable, if its listed there. I got it to install too wthout darwin, but it was not shown in the boot-menu... so it would not work... but I hope for you, it will work...
Now you have to wait a while.

Heres my screenshots so far

So then... you'll have to wait

A better question is did he mention Neowin, as I'm almost positive he stumbled upon PearPC on Neowin..... He's not exactly the best in giving credit where credit is due....

He just mentioned Neowin (this thread) on his blog and said he came across PearPC from some guy (can't remember the name).

check that out ..

leet .. isnt it ?

A virtual machine within a virtual machine? lol

Haha nice!

should I try this out???? *lol*

I should just install 98 on vmware then linux on top that then OS X on Linux

Oh yes, that would be very nice... the best you can do, is to try this with an old PII or so

and run virtual pc inside osx

and make it dog slow whilst your at it

oh yes, that's it...

gr... I can't wait... Want the next version now *lol*
