*lol* too, realliy nice this screenie.

About the Nightly builds. I'm trying these for days now an at the moment with the athlon xp optimized and it looks like this would not be much fastern.

And about the RAM: I think 256 MB is quite okay, because there is a little difficult: PearPC has to emulate the RAMs. So it works slower if it has to emulate more RAM, BUT on the other side it should speed up the OS X System. So 256 is the mid-way (or something like this ;) ).

sorry about the confusion, but i changed it to D in my new config as well. i tried evacsoul's suggestion and i managed to get the PPC screen, but then i get this message:

[CPU/MMU] new pagetable: sdr1 = 0x00300003

[CPU/MMU] new pagetable: sdr1 accepted

[CPU/MMU] number of pages: 2^15 pagetable_start: 0x00300000 size: 2^18

[iO/PROM] <Error> Can't open boot file

right before i get the last line with the error, PPC shows only one bootable partition, labeled:

"1. partition 2 of 'disk0' (Apple_HFS_Untitled_2/Apple_HFS)

i pick this as my choice and then i get the error...

I got that error for a while. What is the exact filesize of your disk image when you get that error?

When I recieved that error, I found that my 6gb images were only extracting to ~4 gigabytes (hence, the faulty disk geometry). I checked the disk the PearPC was on and found out to be a Fat32 drive.

A Fat32 drive will only support filesizes up to ~4gb in size, hence the whole disk image could not be extracted and used.

I converted my drive to NTFS and it created the whole 6gb drive file that worked perfectly.

Here lies that issue, all my drives are NTFS.

evacsoul, the name of my cd image is 'Mac OSX 10.3 CD 1.iso' . is this supposed to be an .img file?

also, i used ultraiso to convert Mac OSX 10.3 CD 1.dmg to Mac OSX 10.3 CD 1.iso, but i've heard that converting from .dmg to .iso on a PC isn't possible. could this be the problem?

    • ASUS ROG Falchion Ace 75 HE keyboard is 27% off on Amazon

      By Ivan Jenic · Posted

      ASUS ROG Falchion Ace 75 HE keyboard is 27% off on Amazon by Ivan Jenic The ASUS ROG Falchion Ace 75 HE is currently $159.99 on Amazon, down from $219.99. That's 27% off and $60 saved on a keyboard that combines retro and modern design, while being one of the most responsive and adaptable 75% boards available right now (purchase link down below). The ROG Falchion Ace comes with the HFX V2X magnetic switches that allow you to set actuation anywhere between 0.1mm and 3.5mm with 0.01mm fine-tuning steps. It also comes with Rapid Trigger, a feature that resets the key the moment you release it rather than waiting for a fixed reset point, which makes a noticeable difference in fast-paced games. And finally, an 8,000Hz polling rate should make the response time feel instant. The build quality is decent, with dense plastic and powder-coated aluminum, which is expected from a keyboard at this price point. There’s also the onboard adjustment wheel, which lets you tweak actuation and Rapid Trigger sensitivity without opening any software. For competitive gaming, the ROG Falchion Ace is hard to beat at this price. And those who appreciate old-school hardware, especially those white keyboards we’ve all grown up with, will likely also appreciate the looks of this keyboard. A carry case is included.
