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.

      You can't remove Safari though. Or almost any other bundled app for that matter, and pretty much all of them are useless to me (and there are is a heap of them compared to Windows). I'll much rather take Edge than Safari, at least it can be highly customized vs. Safari. I'll take a PC with ten Edges over a Mac any day though as I can't stand all the limitation and painfully frustrationg restriction that make me dislike their stuff with a burning passion, iOS included (especially iOS).

      Glow 26.9 by Razvan Serea Glow provides detailed reporting on every hardware component in your computer, saving you valuable time typically spent searching for CPU, motherboard, RAM, graphics card, and other stats. With Glow, all the information is conveniently presented in one clean interface, allowing you to easily access and review the comprehensive hardware details of your system. Glow provides detailed information on various system aspects, including OS, motherboard, processor, memory, graphics card, storage, network, battery, drivers, and services. The well-organized format ensures easy access to the required information. You can export all the gathered data to a plain text file, facilitating sharing with others for troubleshooting purposes. No installation needed. Just decompress the archive, launch the executable, and access computer-related information. Glow runs on Windows 11 and Windows 10 64-bit versions. Glow 26.9 changelog: New Features The processor hardware detection engine has been significantly enhanced beyond traditional Intel and AMD architectures. Native support is now available for modern platforms such as Apple Silicon (M-Series) and the newly introduced NVIDIA Spark. In addition, all ARM-based processors can now be accurately distinguished between ARM32 and ARM64 architectures, providing precise hardware reporting. This marks a major milestone for Glow's hardware detection capabilities. The RAM manufacturer identification algorithm has been expanded. JEDEC vendor codes for popular brands such as Patriot, PNY, Team Group, GeIL, Lexar (Longsys), and Asgard/Gloway have been integrated into the database. This significantly reduces the likelihood of incorrect or "Unknown Manufacturer" results and improves overall hardware detection accuracy. New Public IP Address and Internet Service Provider (ISP) features have been added to the Network section. To ensure reliability, this information is retrieved from the trusted service ipwho.is. When Hiding Mode is enabled, no requests are sent and these features remain hidden, as they may expose sensitive information. The search engine used in the Installed Drivers, Installed Services, and Installed Applications sections has been enhanced. You can now perform more flexible and accurate searches using initials, partial matches, and loosely arranged character sequences. The TS Preloader loading bar has been rebuilt using our modern TS Custom Controls graphics library, developed entirely in-house. As a result of this infrastructure upgrade, the loading bar now features smooth rendering and rounded corners that align with the visual style of Windows 11. [TS Updater] A new validation algorithm has been added to check whether the target application is currently running before the update process begins. Bug Fixes Resolved a condition that could prevent TS Preloader from shutting down safely during rare application crash scenarios. Fixed a text alignment issue in the Network section affecting the display of DNS addresses. Alignment is now rendered correctly. [TS Updater] Fixed an issue that could prevent the updated application's executable "*.exe" file from being located after the update process. [TS Updater] Fixed a bug that could leave outdated "*.sha256" files in the application directory after an update. [TS Updater] Fixed a rare issue that could cause subfolders to be moved into the root directory after an update. [TS Updater] Fixed an issue during the first launch that could cause flickering and a temporary white window appearance due to Windows Defender interactions. Changes A small improvement has been made to the internet connectivity detection algorithm. Connectivity checks are now performed in the background with minimal impact on the user interface thread. The keyboard shortcuts in the top menu have been reorganized and simplified to provide a consistent experience across all Türkaysoft applications and to avoid potential conflicts with standard Windows shortcuts. The TS Preloader splash image has been updated with a Türkiye-themed stadium design to celebrate Türkiye's qualification for the 2026 FIFA World Cup—its first appearance in 24 years. Congratulations, Türkiye! The TS Custom Controls module has been updated to version 26.6, delivering improved stability and a more polished visual appearance. [TS Updater] The application icon has been redesigned to provide a more modern and refined look. Note: Always unzip the program before using it. Otherwise you may get an error.
