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:

What setting do you use with disk ulity to set up the HD?

I think, this is what you need:

I'm against pirating, but this is just for experimenting. Brush it off.

</slightlyofftopic>

Anyway, the instructions on the main PearPC site are very, VERY vague. When I first read it, I thought you NEEDED Mandrake to run this thing. I don't know if it's the poor English, or a poor translation, but I was thinking about just writing a real down-to-earth page for this project and giving it to them.

Is that the only way to do it?

you cannot set up the disk via disk utility?

ok, I have Darwin installed (which I just realized wasn't necessary)...

My OSX cd image is a .toast file... but ppc doesn't seem to be able to boot it. it doesn't give correct partitions (ie, it only shows 3 partitions on the disk). Do I need to convert it to a regular iso or something? How would I do that on my PC (I'm at work so I don't have my Mac with me)?

Yes you can. That's what I did.

You actually got it to run something at the desktop? I hadn't heard a report of the desktop being "functional". Cool!

As far as RAM: I had already posted this:

#

# 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)

Hmm, somehow, this does not work here I entered 0x15E00000 (350 MB RAM) and get the message after a minute: Cannot read page table. Is there a configuration, which will work good?

[KlyX]

There is another problem: Adter booting, this thing here appears: .

So far so good... But now, If I work with the mouse the following actions werde done:

- Closes the window

- Bar on the top goes away

- Bar reappears

- Window reappears

- Da Capo (another round... and anothher).

Where is the problem??

[sanderg14]

could you run MorphOS with Pearpc ?

Morphos.net for further information

[AquaFX]

How fast is Pear running OSX? is it fast enough to use applications...? or install apps?

good work ;)

[KlyX]

So I have no chance to do something with OS X... (see post below).

And I don't know, how to get it work...

So the RAM Config doesn't work...

[SoapyHamHocks Member]

sanderg14 give me a link somewhere to get morphos and ill try it out.

[pimpshiznid]

Hey, I dunno if this has been posted, but Kevin Rose (from the Screensavers) got it running. He posted all his files and everything in his blog here.

Including mentioning Neowin, so maybe he is a lurker around here after all...

[sanderg14]

www.morphOs.net

but where you can download , i don't know , look by google

[CyBeRiA]

well, here's where i am right now...

it's running surprisingly fast. thank god for dual cpus (even though they're only 1.4GHz)

I set the processor affinity for ppc.exe to only use cpu1...leaving my other processor (cpu0) free to handle everything else, and have cpu1 focus on ppc
