VolrathXP had mentioned that the key to installing 10.2 was to turn off verbose mode... One thing I might add is that it also has something to do with the RAM configuration... I have 512MB of physical RAM and I had set PearPC to 384MB, it wouldn't install 10.2, it just got hung up after a circle with a line thru it, but I changed the RAM for PearPC back to the default, and I am installing 10.2 right now... I think it was Jackalo that said he installed 10.2 with the RAM set for 512, but he has 1.5 GB of physical RAM... maybe the key is 2:1 ration of physical to emulated RAM?

Just a thought... I am going to try and set my emulated RAM to 256 and see if I can do that and have 10.2 install.

Hm, why did you install Darwin? Darwin is only needed for build the partition and format this, so OS-X can boot from it later.

My Installation looks like working... yes, it dures veery long, but it works.

So I calculate the speed of the virtual processor... If I say, my installation is about 7 hrs and a normal installation is about 30 minutes, so this would be a average processor speed of 107,5 MHz.

I'm wondering how you get this without PearPC hang up.

What did you change in teh config file? Could you post the part of it, which belongs to the memory?

Thanks

#

# Main memory (default 128 MiB)

# must be >= 64 MiB

#

memory_size=0x08000000

If you use the calculator that is in XP set it for the Scientific view... Take the amount of RAM that you want to emulate and multiply it by 1048576 (1024x1024) and then hit the "Hex" radio button, it will give you a hexidecimal equivelant for the ammount of RAM (in bytes)

eg: 256x1048576=268435456 (hex=10000000 or 0x10000000)

You don't have to use Darwin at all. When you get to the page in the install that shows you having no disks, pull down the menu and go to the Disk Utility.

As for that JITC Error about the page-table. That is a memory issue, though I'm not sure exactly what causes it yet. I had my system setup to run on 512 MB of ram, and it wouldnt work, and after a lot of working I figured out that that was the problem. I commeneted out my memory line (making it default to 128) and it started up just fine. I assume it will be addressed in later builds.

Dude... Why do you feel you have to be such a busy-body, and care about everyone who dosnt have a legal copy of osx...

It annoys me that people think it's OK to steal OS X, and how casual they are about it. ie: "Now to 'aquire' a copy of Panther. TEE HEE..." That sort of attitude.

But I don't have to care. A moderator spoke up.

    • Most boring game ever. Repetitive, empty, predictable, and full of cliches. Total waste of time and money, IMO.
    • Mafia: The Old Country expansion Man of Honor announced, brings back Salieri from original by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe During Summer Game Fest, 2K and Hanger 13 brought out a new Mafia: The Old Country trailer, revealing the game's first expansion. Named Man of Honor, this is slated to add two new chapters to the Enzo storyline that the game follows. There is an iconic character returning to the series with this expansion, with players set to run into Ennio Salieri, the future Don of the Salieri crime family. Fans of the original Mafia, or its Definitive Edition remake, may remember that name as one of the biggest characters in the storyline. This expansion is set prior to his rise to being the kingpin in the City of Lost Heaven. "Set in Sicily during the winter of 1905, Enzo Favara has proven himself a reliable soldier of the Torrisi crime family in the months since his initiation," says the studio about the new chapters. "Now, the Don entrusts him and Cesare with a delicate assignment of assisting Ennio Salieri, a man of honor recently released from prison and intent on reclaiming what is his." Working at Salieri's side, players will be heading into fresh environments as they return to the role of Enzo as a high-ranking soldato. The studio also promises brand-new weapons, fresh vehicles, and charms to collect in this expansion. Moreover, the expansion will add new content to the updated Free Ride mode. Alongside new collectibles and locations, this will add more challenges to beat alongside Salieri, which are described as runs that will "test the skills of even the most elite mafiosi." The Mafia: The Old Country Man of Honor story expansion will release on August 14, 2026, across PC, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5. It will cost $10 for owners of the base game to jump into.

    • Telltale returns with The Wolf Among Us, re-revealing the sequel and a new remaster by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Telltale Games, the studio known for its episodic games from the 2000s, had a surprise appearance at the Summer Game Fest showcase today. The studio has gone through a collapse, an acquisition, and a revival but has largely gone silent in recent years. Today's sudden announcement was for the popular The Wolf Among Us series, with news about the sequel and a remaster dropping. Set after the events of the 2013-released title, the sequel will bring back Biby Wolf for a new adventure in Fabletown. This town of fairy tale characters is becoming unstable, with Snow White not being able to keep order as before. "When a brutal series of crimes threatens to fracture the fragile balance holding Fabletown together, Bigby Wolf, sheriff of Fabletown, finds himself drawn into a dangerous conspiracy that reaches deep into the city’s criminal underworld," says the studio. "As suspicion spreads across the city and powerful forces work against him, Bigby must uncover the truth and decide what kind of sheriff - and what kind of wolf - he is willing to become." At the same time, Telltale also announced The Wolf Among Us Remastered, bringing back the classic with a fresh coat of paint. This will include all five episodes from the original game plus over an hour of extra content that will offer behind-the-scenes videos, cast interviews, image galleries, and deleted scenes. The remaster will also have updated visuals and improved UI elements and accessibility features, alongside upgrades to the animations, audio, and frame rates. Telltale has been working on this project for almost a decade now, but if the new release schedule holds, fans will be able to jump into The Wolf Among Us 2 sometime in 2027. As for The Wolf Among Us Remastered, this is slated to release during this holiday season.
