Oh yeah, I didn't notice the program bar at the top of the screen.

Damn old monior. lol


Anyway, that's a cool Windows theme.

Why not ask google? She'll tell you it's 0x400

By the by: 0x200 is Hex, 0x200 = 512, typically you'll prefix binary numbers with "0b" and hexidecimal numbers with "0x", base 10 numbers are typically just written as is.

i hope they manage to get Network support in a future release of PearPC, would be really nice.

The thread seems to be becoming nothing more than a big advert for Bit Torrent


After all this how many of you would seriously consider getting a Mac, rather than all this messing around

I was considering getting a used G3 or G4 just to be able to screw arround on a mac, but now i don't have to.
the install was really easy and didn't take very long. It's slow, but i know that will change.

Me, i was looking at getting a cheap G3 Snow Ibook to break me in to OSX, then maybe a better mac at some point down the line, just trying to install it now on PPC

Why is it that so many people think that every one here is into warez and illegally copying software? I happen to own a G5, tiBook and a Beige Beauty... and I have still put hours/days into getting this to run and trying to help others. No illegal software! The pure geek-ness of running OS X on x86 architecture is the reason for it...

I have been following Mac on PC emulation since 93 or 94 when Executor Dos first came out, since then Basilisk II, Softmac, Fusion PC, vMac and a few others have came out... Why is it that people can't see this as a Hobby for many and inspiration that it can actually be done?

Anyone remember Mt. Everest? Why in the heck somebody would want to risk death... because it's there.

As someone who has been accused of warez/pirating... please lay off and stick to topic of helping/fine tuning this inspirational achievement.

the isntalltion went fine but when i wen to boot it, i get this error, help plz?

I admit that its a good advert for the Mac, but who would really go out and spend $150 on an operating system not designed for their system and hence probably won't work, or would spend hours/days trying to get it working only to get fed up of it after a few days...??

well said..

10. Go into your config file and change the "prom_env_machargs" to read "-s". Thats SMALL s, not capital s. Obviously if the line is commented out, remove the # so it works. Boot the machine from the CD again as before. This eventually leaves you with the shell/command prompt, and we're about to tackle the job that Darwin would've been used for if it were needed. Type "pdisk" to start the partition tool.

11. Type "e" (without quote marks) then hit enter.

12. For name of device enter "/dev/disk0". Again, no quote marks.

13. Press "p" to view the partition table. The 3rd one actually needs to be moved up to 2 to make it bootable. So...

14. Press "r" to go into partition reordering mode.

15. Enter the number of that partition (3).

16. Enter 2 to move it to the second position.

17. Hit w to write the partition table, check it using p again if you want to confirm it is all okay.

18. Hit q to quit, then hit it again.q. Type reboot which will close PearPC.

19. Go into the config file and comment out the "prom_env_machargs", which will leave the standard mac bootup screen rather than the verbose mode when you now restart PearPC.


i had this problem on just the last page. dazzla helped me out.

That’s not the case for everyone, taking this thread as evidence.

I have always been a fan of Macintosh computers and will probably purchase one within the next six months to a year.

This PearPC truely cannot compare to the real thing (of course), but it's cool to experiment with this anyways.

I actually bought a legal version of Mac OS X from ebay for $10 bucks.....just so I can mess with it in PearPC got it installed and working, now that I can actually run OS X I don't see what the big deal about it is, XP seems just so much better.

Nice one, judging an OSX from a buggy, super slow emulator which has no real representation of the OS in use at all. Genious, give that guy an award!



Back OT, wouldn't something like an A64 cope better with the emulation because of it's extra registers?

I have a video question?

Is the video.x file really needed in Windows? or is it a Linux only driver?

I was experimenting with settings a while ago and commented it out, and forgot about it... I have 10.2.8 installed and running without any trouble... It is slow, but I haven't noticed a difference with it.

Just askin'

i didn't use darwin

so? you don't have to use darwin. that's the whole point of this. it boots up off the install cd of os x into a command line environment where you do all this.

also in the first step listed there it says "and we're about to tackle the job that Darwin would've been used for if it were needed."

You're running OS X without the video.x file? Hmmm..

According to this

http://pearpc.sourceforge.net/config.html

There is something in the config file called

prom_driver_graphic which has a value of "video.x"



In Linux, it wouldn't let me try to install OS X or Darwin without the video.x file.

Installing 10.3.3 then it's time to get customizing

I have tried the real thing before, never did liked it the only thing PearPC did today is affirm this!

Does anyone know if PearPC is faster in Linux than in windows?
I am going to install it on my Fedora box tonight and check, so I'll
post my findings later.

Thanks to everyone in this thread for all their help getting this cool
software up and running.

...well almost everyone, hehe...

Yeah, that'd be an interesting test.

Tried installing - install was a success, but when I try to boot into OSX after the install it says it found no bootable partitions...any ideas? 0,o..

I'm installing Mac OS X (using PearPC) on a Red Hat Enterprise Linux box.

The install is a tiny bit faster than it was in Windows and it seems to be more stable too.

I'll have to run the OS when it finishing installing to make a more accurate analysis about it's condition.

hmm, everytime i try to install it i get 'blah blah blah not recognized as an internal command'

Just updated to OS X 10.3.3

dazzla, how are you installing 10.3.3? when i start up the installer it tells me that my hard drive doesn't meet the requirements.

Have you got enough space? It needs like 250MB.

dazzla , how slow is it? can you actually do stuff, (you seem to be) or is there way too much lag?

it takes 3 seconds to see the cursor move

ok you just totally lost me there buddy, i installed osx using a .iso file on PearPC..but i got that error, is there anyway to fix that error since i didn't install darwin...?

Hmm that's not normal mine works almost instantaneously.

It feels like a P200-300 running XP with all it's effects on, so it's sluggish, but not unbearable. And no it doesn't take 3 seconds for the cursor to move, it's instant for me, I've allocated 512mb for PearPC as well. I've installed a few themes, installed Windowshade X and just installed iTunes 4.5:

Nice work dazz, how fast is you cpu? and what kind?

Athlon 64, 3200+, 1GB Ram.

Wow that rocks. 0.1.1 must have helped.

Bah, I knew it was to good to run on my 32 bit rig. Hehe.

So... I was worried about trying this on my athlon 64 3200+ system, I though I read somewhere that it won't work on 64bit. Must be wrong though. What kind of ram? (PC4000, PC...)

It should work _much_ faster on A64. I'm not sure if PPC takes advantage of this yet, however...

Currentally I have ti running off of my iPod, so it shouldn't be hard to move!

BTW "Equally, PearPC will probably only run on 32-bit architectures. This shouldn't be hard to fix either. (You can donate...)"
From the PearPC official, I know I read it somewhere!

So there goes being able to run it on my 866-PIII XP?

I wish I had a faster PC.

can someone please help me! everytime i try to execute my config file, it says that it's not recognized as an external or internal command...what do i do?

so does networking work on linux then? just wondering

How would oyu allocate 512mb to it?

use this in your ppccfg_HD

memory_size=0x20000000

thnx How do i connect? I can only choose modem

^ is the performance boost from doing that noticeable?

I would imagine so.

not really sure havent tried it with 128mb or less than 512, I only used 128 when installing and it was slow but thats normal I'm guessing
