This project WILL DIE

Bye bye, PearPC.

Mike

incorrect again, just because you can install mac os x on this system does not mean it has anything to do with mac osx or apple. this is an emulated PPC chip that IBM developed completely unrelated to apple. so apple will have no say in what happens to this. also, the IBM chip's insutrction set is open to anyone that wants it, so this allows for reverse engineering of it's insruction set.

I am using my brain. If this software allows users to violate Apple's license agreement, they have every right to shut it down.

Why is everyone so f*cking obnoxious?

Mike

But the user who decides to use this forOSX instead of a PPC Linux is the one violating the agreement. The situation only comes up when a user decides to use it illegaly.

People could ask the same thing to you with your pretentious--Mac love--attitude in a Windows section of the forum.

Oh, you mean my responses to the ignorant statements like "there's no software for the Mac" or "hard drives don't work on the Mac" or "RAM doesn't work on the Mac" or...

i cant get my panther disk boot..

HFS+ has no backup volume header. skipping...

HFS+ has no backup volume header. skipping...

[iO/PROM] <Error> can?t open boot file

This happens to me on the images I created on a Mac using a third party utility (Sorry, I ain't infront of my mac, so I can't remember the software). The ISOs aren't compatible with PearPC. I had good luck with the shareware version of Alcohol120 using the ISO wizard part.

HTH,

Well you are supposed to ignore that, the same way when someone goes into the Mac section and sees people saying inaccurate statements regarding Windows. Honestly, it?s not even worth the effort to educate these kinds of people.

Also let?s not forget how you were basically ****ting on Windows because of it?s lack of iApps (or comparable software)?which isn?t true.

It's NOT?

So you're saying that Microsoft packages up a DVD builder? A Movie Editor (Movie Maker isn't even close to the same league)? A Photo Manager? Gee....I don't have them.

Hi I have tryed this but I can not get pased this screen.

picture

Try going into the Apple Menu->Disk Utility. See if the hard drive is seen there. If it is, partition and format it.

If not, check your config file. I had that problem when using an absolute path for the img file of the virtual hard drive.

I also tried removing the comment about the device being "hd".

i dont believe it is mike.. as soon as apple flexes their muscles pearpc can then just not promote pictures of mac os x on their site etc. they just concentrate on linux ppc etc. the fact is its not made to run os x is run to emulate ppc. i could go on about microsoft and their PC not mac license of one per PC then how can make users emulate the x86 PC and run windows.. that would surely be against the license. o well.. not worth any more time discussing i dont think

anyway who knows what apple will do.. lets not argue over software issues and other things. (not aiming this at you mike.. just any1) lets just discuss this great app and report success people have been having :)

it does look pretty cool having a max inside a window on windows tho..

So basically your saying they Microsoft should shut down VMware? Just because you can run Windows on it does mean it was intended to. Apple may be able to go after the people that use OSX on PearPC but not the deveolpers.

Did I mention bundling? No. MS would be in court if they did that, though Apple seems to get away with it on a number of levels (QT being a big one with its integration).

Third party software would suffice for iApps.

This is off topic though so feel free to make another thread in respect to this and I'll be happy to discuss it there.

Uh, no, because there's nothing in the Windows license agreement that says that you have to use MS-branded hardware. DID I SAY THAT? NO.

Since I'm trying to compare apples to apples (no pun intended), I was DIRECTLY comparing what you get for FREE from OS X vs. what you get for FREE from Windows. How can you compare what you get for free on one platform vs. what you have to pay for on another? By that I might was well say "Final Cut Pro" and end the conversation right then and there.

Your not using your brain, its not for emulating apple hardware, its for emulating PPC hardware, whats so hard to understand.

What gives, Microsoft bundles a load of software with windows, Microsoft gets sued, Microsoft has to remove said software, Apple bundles a load of software with Mac OSX, Everyone thinks the sun shines out of Apples ass, the end.

Apple doesn't integrate their apps with the OS. Is that too hard to comprehend?

Have you tried uninstalling IE lately?

    • I don't hate the new menus, I am not a fan of the lack of features and how they went live when they clearly are not complete. The menu itself presents much better than the previous - but what's lacking (IMO) is: 1) Any kind of automated manipulation such as: "this goes on the new menu because you use this feature more often on this filetype" "this is rarely used and will fall back to the old menu" 2) Any kind of user manipulation such as: "a UI to add/remove/order items to the new menu"
    • The biggest issue in this version of Win 11 context menu, from usability standpoint, is the movable row with basic commands. Think of a car analogy...if You turn the week left the infotainment screen will move right and vice versa. With how it works now Microsoft made something forbidden in designing in any UI, software or hardware. I can't grasp who were the morons within Microsoft suggesting it was a good idea and gave it a green light.
    • LibreOffice 26.2.4 by Razvan Serea LibreOffice is the free power-packed Open Source personal productivity suite for Windows, Macintosh and Linux, that gives you six feature-rich applications for all your document production and data processing needs: Writer, Calc, Impress, Draw, Math and Base. Support and documentation is free from our large, dedicated community of users, contributors and developers. You, too, can also get involved! Choosing Between LibreOffice Still and LibreOffice Fresh: LibreOffice Still is a good choice if you value stability, a longer support cycle, and a more conservative approach to software updates. It's suitable for businesses and organizations where reliability and compatibility are crucial. LibreOffice Fresh is ideal if you're an enthusiast or an early adopter who wants to stay on the cutting edge of LibreOffice development and is willing to accept more frequent updates and occasional minor issues. Features: Writer is the word processor inside LibreOffice. Use it for everything, from dashing off a quick letter to producing an entire book with tables of contents, embedded illustrations, bibliographies and diagrams. The while-you-type auto-completion, auto-formatting and automatic spelling checking make difficult tasks easy (but are easy to disable if you prefer). Writer is powerful enough to tackle desktop publishing tasks such as creating multi-column newsletters and brochures. The only limit is your imagination. Calc tames your numbers and helps with difficult decisions when you're weighing the alternatives. Analyze your data with Calc and then use it to present your final output. Charts and analysis tools help bring transparency to your conclusions. A fully-integrated help system makes easier work of entering complex formulas. Add data from external databases such as SQL or Oracle, then sort and filter them to produce statistical analyses. Use the graphing functions to display large number of 2D and 3D graphics from 13 categories, including line, area, bar, pie, X-Y, and net - with the dozens of variations available, you're sure to find one that suits your project. Impress is the fastest and easiest way to create effective multimedia presentations. Stunning animation and sensational special effects help you convince your audience. Create presentations that look even more professional than the standard presentations you commonly see at work. Get your collegues' and bosses' attention by creating something a little bit different. Draw lets you build diagrams and sketches from scratch. A picture is worth a thousand words, so why not try something simple with box and line diagrams? Or else go further and easily build dynamic 3D illustrations and special effects. It's as simple or as powerful as you want it to be. Base is the database front-end of the LibreOffice suite. With Base, you can seamlessly integrate into your existing database structures. Based on imported and linked tables and queries from MySQL, PostgreSQL or Microsoft Access and many other data sources, you can build powerful databases containing forms, reports, views and queries. Full integration is possible with the in-built HSQL database. Math is a simple equation editor that lets you lay-out and display your mathematical, chemical, electrical or scientific equations quickly in standard written notation. Even the most-complex calculations can be understandable when displayed correctly. E=mc2. LibreOffice also comes configured with a PDF file creator, meaning you can distribute documents that you're sure can be opened and read by users of almost any computing device or operating system.
