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:

this program is emulating ppc, not osx. if a user wants to install osx with pear, that is their own problem. and they may be in violation of the agreement, but there's nothing wrong with the software. it's perfectly legal to install PPC linux....or others of that sort.

w00t finally its working :woot: :woot: :woot:

it was my ISO

[Pootis Spencer]

could someone post his working config file which you use with the fullscreen version?!? I downloaded it, edited it, but all i get is the msdos window which closes itself before launching pearpc...don't know what I do wrong..when I use the old config file it works...

Open a cmd prompt then run it from there.

How about this one?

ei. you must DESTROY the Mac OS X CD's. (Too bad if you borrowed them.)

:devil:

If you had read this thread further back you would of seen the discussion about this.

It has been flogged to death now so please don't start it again. :no:

okay did that, before when I clicked on ppc.bat it disappeared so fast, I couldn't read the message, now I can see it, it says:

[iO/IDE] <Error> test/imgs/linux.img: could not open file (No error)

[Pootis Spencer]

You need to edit that part in the config file to point to your image.

Why can't I update to 10.3.3 ?

This is the error I get when selecting installation drive :(

Translated: You can't install the application on the disc. The drive doesn't fullfill the demands for this update.

If you already have panther installed, make sure you download the COMBO update 10.3.3! I first downloaded just the 10.3.3 update and got the same message (only in English), because the 10.3.3 update requires 10.3.2 to be installed (I only had 10.3) so once I downloaded and started the 10.3.3 combo, I was good to go.

HTH,

Edit these values in your config file:

pci_ide0_master_installed = 1

pci_ide0_master_image = "x:\pearpc\HD-OS-X-Panther-PREP.img"

pci_ide0_master_type = "hd"

pci_ide0_slave_installed = 1

pci_ide0_slave_image = "x:\pearpc\custom.iso"

pci_ide0_slave_type = "cdrom"

to point to the right drive.

[PureEdit]

[SAMeAiM]

If i share my peapc directory on LAN and i open it on my other pc, then pearpc wont boot while i have the folder open on the other pc (i need to reboot pearpc to boot)

Just a report

[phalanx126]
