Running Mac OS X on x86 PC!

[S.MULLA]

a new emulator called PearPC seems to be able to run OS X on x86 machines:

Wow. This will be nice if it's real :)

Due to the nature of emulation, PearPC is quite slow (the client will run about 500 times slower than the host)

excellent feature.. :shifty:

Damn only for linux :(

Damn only for linux :(

I just downloaded the win32 build, I wish I had my Panther discs with me!

oh cool theres one for windows :D now to find some images :p

[Schmoove]

Would be nice if it really worked :)

I have no Mac cd's, so I can't really test it :( Sombody test it and let us know please, I am really really curious!!

[Argi]

Mad, gonna try this out. :)

[Chicane-UK Veteran]

Hm.. need more time to faff around with this and get it running.

Wonder if its the genuine article...... I got Panther CD's in my drawer, just can't be bothered to hack around with the cludgy config file and get it goin :)

I would like to try it out, but this PC runs slow enough with just Windows :|

[SAMeAiM]

Can any one confirm, that it really works ?, and how slow it really is (on what pc, hardware specs.)

[Argi]

I'm getting a copy of PPC linux and am gonna see if it works.

Hmmm, It wouldn't be on sourceforge if it was fake, right? :unsure:

[Tran]

Awesome! I have a Panther CD downstairs!

[Jackalo]

I ripped an ISO of my OS 10.2 CD-1 with discdump and it didn't want to boot from it, so I'm going to try OS 9.2

[jack_canada]

I'm gonna try it

[jack_canada]

how do u do it??

[Jackalo]

That's what we're all trying to figure out.

No luck on the 10.2 or 9.2 CD's that I ripped using DiscDump. I'll try dumping them from Linux sometime tomorrow and see if that works.

how do u do it??

[oik]

can a mod at least fix the title?

[jack_canada]

how do i do it in windows?

[Knight']

I'm at school now, when I get home I'll try it out. But I bet you anything this is fake.

[Jackalo]

how do i do it in windows?

There is no difference in running it on Linux and Windows. Follow the documentation.

[Axel]

please sum1 soon post some success stories... I'm dying to try this but don't wanna waste any time if it simply wont work.

[Jackalo]

... I think this is the real deal. I can get it to boot from a 10.2 CD, but it errors out.

Download Gemulator Explorer at http://www.emulators.com/download.htm, and run it. Select your CD-ROM with the MacOS X cd in it, then choose File > Create Image File From Physical Disc.

After that, just configure the PearPC config file accordingly to whatever you named the image file (I used macosx.img).

500 times slower......I'll pass.
