When I got my "command SLEEP STUB" I had to keep moving my silly mouse to keep it active, it seemed to take longer if I let it freeze. :s

After a few more hours though I got it working! :D Going to try the Nightly bulids for P4 to see if it helps any. :/

Guys, I did not see any performance difference in the nightly build for P4.  Any ideas??

Unrealism  :/

I dunno, but there's something wrong with the install on my 2.2GHz P4... for some reason I can't get set the redraw rate below 105 without it completely bogging down the cpu. Even 101 causes it to choke and the mouse hardly moves. But I can get the redraw rate down to 30 on my AMD 2000+ Athlon-M notebook and it will run smoothly. :/

? for people who have a mac, ran virtual pc, then ran pear pc inside virtual pc. How's the performance? Is it really earth shattering or does it seem to be typical?

I'm gonna try the nightly builds to see if they help... I have my doubts though.

I know, the nightly builds don't provide any significant boost in speeds so far.

Until someone figures out how to accurately tweak the running clock speed of PearPC emulation (ie. get it running above 10mhz), then not too much speed increase will take place.

Ok so im starting the install over again for the 4th time hopefully now that im moving the mouse around it will install. For those who have gotten 10.3 to install try out EXPOSE its really cool. Whats the hex number in the config file to run 192 or 320 mb of ram. Im running it on a Sony Vaio 1.8 ghz with 512 ram and a GeForce FX 5600 256mb. Are there any real necessary updates for 10.3 yet. Do u think ill be able to run Final Cut Pro yet?

ok so 10.3 install just finished after seting slave to 0 in config file i start pearpc up and it says i have no bootable drives. I know that 10.3 was installed so how to i get it up do i need cd 2? :o

there was a post a ways ago about using darwin to edit the drive, because the boot sectors are incorrectly ordered for it to be bootable

tonight i will compile all the good articles together for this and put them in one spot

PearPC inside of VPC on OS X is slow as hell. Took about 10 minutes to boot. The install didn't take place in VPC (that would have taken days), the image is just a copy of one from a friends PC.

Somebody should try running OS 9 in PearPC, it would probably be FAST actually.

Last time I booted into OS 9 on my iBook, I was amazed how fast it was compared to OS X.

yea if u can compile something that would be great, but is there any easy way to get it up without darwin. I mean i want quit installer when i restarted and went to startup disks and selected 10.3 but that didnt work.

the darwin thing isnt too hard, you dont have to format it or anything, as long as its already successfully installed (or you expect will ask for disk 2) this will make it bootable

    • Final Fantasy VII Remake Part 3 is getting a simultaneous release across PC and all consoles

      By Fleet Command · Posted

      "Revelation?" I was hoping for this episode to be called "Reunion". Oh, well... In a related note, the Final Fantasy VII compilation has received an EC entry, short for Ever Crisis. For those who don't know, it already had AC, BC, CC, and DC entries, short for Advent Children, Before Crisis, Crisis Core, and Dirge of Cerberus. I hope it doesn't get an FC entry becaude that would be a freakin' crisis.
    • Browser vendors pen open letter to Microsoft saying "enough is enough"

      By The Norwegian Drone Pilot · Posted

      Uh, after intense testing now, 'Samsung Browser' is not the best one outside of 'Microsoft Edge' after all. Opera Air is that. It has "some" bloat, but it's far less than what both Microsoft Edge and Brave browser have.
