Does resolution make a difference in the performance?

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.

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:

no he doesn't. he's running pearpc on windows, and windows version doesn't support network (yet).
I might try this on linux when I get my raptor in 
then see how good the net works if at all

Dazzla, could you post your config?

Thank you if i was there i would make sweet love to u =P =)
i tried to apply the 10.3.3 Combo Update, and it failed while doing so. Now when i try to load OSX i just get the grey screen with the apple logo, and the spinning thing. It used to take only a few seconds on that screen, now i have left it for more then 15min with nothing. 
looks like i am going to have to start over again.

this doesn't have hardware acceleration or anything right?
How do you import dmg files into the deskto or whatever? How did Dazzla install those?
he probably use nero to burn the files to an iso image.
i downloaded the update from apples site, then made an iso using winiso. all of that worked fine, but then i got an error during the installation.
neor doesnt burn .dmg's?
i meant he burned the dmg file to the iso...not the contents.
??? I just tried, it says i need to correct and error or something..

lol err yeah
WHOA. Ok. I noticed that everyone has a "Change CD" button in their output window and I must honestly admit that I lack such a visible clickable object. In other words, my ENTIRE output window is blank! Nothin there! I can click where that "Change CD" button ought to be, and a dialog box will pop up. However, I can't see the button that I'm clicking on. Any thoughts? Furthermore there is never any output even though there should be, in either darwin or os x.

Would it be worth it to try running this on my 2.8ghz p4? I don't want to bother if I have to wait for just the mouse to move around... 
I am running it on an Athlon XP 1900+ with 512MB of ram. The mouse runs perfectly, it moves instantly. I can open programs and do everything else...somethings just take a little while to load, no big deal.
Cool, thanks a lot for the info.

I'm running it on a 2.53GHz P4 and it's slow, but not THAT slow.
People seem to be posting their experiences without posting system specs. Bad.

i changed the memory config to memory_size=0x20000000, but it shows 128 at boot still anyone know why? will the boot say that but when its installed and done will it be fine?
does anyone's "about this mac" dialogue box show anything better than a 0 MHz G3?

Check out the very last post on page 49

It looks like someone knows how to tweak the settings, (or is good at photoshop
)
niteowl, he is actually running OS X, with Virtual PC running PearPC.
Oh, that makes sense then
Well so far i've had very little trouble. No crashes yet at all today. Installed on two systems to see what difference would be like.
Both are 3ghz with xp profesional. One however has 1 gb with 512 dedicated to os install, while the other has 2gb with 1gb dedicated to os install. The increase in memory increased productivity around 20-30 % from what i can tell. Set redraw rate at 120 and so far so good. Doesn't take nearly as long to install stuff on the unit with 1 gig ram. *tried a copy of MS OFFICE students and teachers edition*.

How?! How did you get programs like itnues4.5 on it?
Just download them from Apple.com, to create an Iso I just use Nero to burn to an image recorder and choose .iso as file type. Sound doesn't work so iTunes is a bit pointless but I just wanted to check it out.
How did you get Nero to burn .dmg files? If you dont mind, mind posting your config?
Nero didn't burn dmg files. I just created a new compilation, dumped the .dmg files along with other stuff on it, chose image recorder, chose .iso as the format. That's it. My config is nothing special.
Aha! thnx!
Dazzla,
http://www.richardgoodwin.com/pearpc/
the 2nd file has athlon 64 compatibilty i think (vs 0.2)
the first file is 0.1.2

What's A64 compatability supposed to mean? It's running fine on my A64, do you mean it's a 64bit version?

Is anyone doing CPU optimized builds from the cvs? or compiling the nightly builds?
If so where can i download from.
Cheers

make sure you don't have # next to that line since that comments it out
also I'm trying out the Trunk (0.2pre) build, seems ok can't really see a big speed difference
Maybe someone can help me. I keep getting an error when trying to run the config file. I have a athlon64 3200+, 1gb pc4000, 2 raptors striped (not sure if this is my problem)
Here is my error
Any ideas?
