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

I might have to look into that. ;)

    • This new cabinet design lets you run AMD, Intel, and Nvidia PCs inside one case

      By sikhwarrior · Posted

      I think this will appeal to a lot of enthusiasts. If the thermals are similar to those of a single system in a compact case, many people running multiple systems may choose to combine them into one machine, provided the case footprint remains reasonable.

    • This Corsair Vengeance DDR5-6000 32GB RAM with RGB is a great deal for limited time

      By BlueScreenJunky · Posted

      No, "a great deal" for 32GB of DDR5 is $50, not $350. I mean I see what you mean, that it's a decent price compared to what's currently available, but you really should put a disclaimer in this articles explaining that it's still multiple times more expensive than it used to be.

    • Linux 7.1 stable launch looms as Linus Torvalds releases the final release candidate

      By zikalify · Posted

      Linux 7.1 stable launch looms as Linus Torvalds releases the final release candidate by Paul Hill Linus Torvalds has just released what’s expected to be the final release candidate of Linux 7.1, rc7. The Linux founder said that this RC is not small, but smaller than recent releases, which is a good sign because he expects the stable version to drop next week if things continue on this trajectory. Linux kernels see a merge window for the first two weeks of their life, where developers add new features, then there are about seven or eight weeks of release candidates before the stable version. Typically, there are seven release candidates, but if more time is needed, then an eighth release candidate is released too. This week’s RC’s biggest area of fixes was for GPUs, with networking just behind. Torvalds said that the rest of the release was “pretty random and spread out” with some architecture fixes, driver fixes, filesystem improvements, and build fixes for more unusual configs. In terms of specific pieces of hardware receiving improvements in this update, we had more AMD Zen6 models supported and fixes for AMD SDMA 7.1 and GFX11. Hardware that got improvements includes Lenovo laptops, HONOR laptops, and MSI laptops. Here are the changelogs for those: ASoC: amd: acp: Add DMI quirk for Lenovo Yoga Pro 7 15ASH11 Input: atkbd - add DMI quirk for Lenovo Yoga Air 14 (83QK) Input: atkbd - skip deactivate for HONOR BCC-N's internal keyboard ASoC: amd: yc: Add MSI Raider A18 HX A9WJG to quirk table ASoC: amd: yc: Enable internal mic on MSI Bravo 17 C7VF When the stable Linux 7.1 is released, it will be up to distribution maintainers, such as Canonical and Red Hat, to release the update to their users via the update manager. Some versions of Linux will get it before others, and some will never get it at all. Fedora and Arch-based distros will be among the first to get it, though. If you don’t get it, the security fixes will be backported to your system’s kernel, so you won’t be at risk, but you won’t get newer hardware support, which is fine if your computer works now.
