how are you guys transferring files from your harddrive to os x?

1) Place all the files you want to put in OS X in a folder

2) Use an ISO creating program to create an ISO out of the folder

3) Redirect "pci_ide0_slave_image" to your newly created ISO

There are other ways, this just works for me

Not sure if you are aware, but there is a thread going on for a PearPC logo

I just saw Fozzieb's background for it & rememberd to drop a line here, you can grab some goodies there or contribut yourselves, or just give your opinion on the works there.

I tried installing 10.3 but I'm having some problems.

PPC quit while installing from CD1 saying "Error: Reset!" and when I boot back into PPC, I get an error saying there are no bootable partitions. I'm using the config file and instructions from the Neowin Guides section.

Any idea wahts wrong?

HellBender, it installed correctly but you have to edit the partition tables, go to this site:

http://www.emaculation.com/phpBB/viewtopic.php?t=1102

and start at step 9

durr, they said the same thing in the guide I was reading, but I entirely skipped over that part. Maybe I should read before posting stoopid questions..

Oh well, I deleted my old image so im reinstalling now x_x

Hi folks,

Alright, I've been reading the posts and have heard a couple of people mention their pearpc is hanging at the grey apple screen when booting the OSX installation disk.

I have the same problem.

My config file etc.is good, I have read all the previous posts, and could use any advice you may have...

Hopefully someone out there knows whats going on.

Thanks!

dokkta: Open your config file and change the line "pci_ide0_slave_installed = 1" to "pci_ide0_slave_installed = 0" and all your problems will go away.

Phew finally got it working... Too slow to do anything very productive though :pinch: What can you do on here? 'net doesnt work yet does it? Where ya'll get them wallpapers from?

Yeah, I'm using an optimized 5/25 trunk build.

I've been trying different redraw_interval_msec values, and I just set it to 1 and its beautifully smooth :) Takes about 30 seconds for something as simple as sys prefs to come up, but it looks good :cool:

Again, can I put custom wallpapers on here?

Anyway to increase the HD image size after installtion? I don't wanna reinstall everything. And is currently using the 3GB image.

I do not really know if it will work but try this:

1. make a new bigger disc.

2. Mount the new disc as slave.

3. Use the "copy disc" function in OS X

Could work ...

      Sued and... exonerated. Oh, they learned a lesson alright. They learned that anyone who uses the word "antiturst" in conjunction with "Microsoft" is an idiot, even if that person is Judge Thomas Penfield Jackson. That judge ruined the image of the US justice system. Microsoft Edge has a 5.14% market share. Also, Windows is no longer the #1 OS. None of this constitutes a monopoly. Google Chrome, however, has 70.25% share. Also, Google's Android is the #1 OS. Now that's closer to a monopoly.

      The consumer ESU is ending in 4 months. LTSC isn't now, never has been, and never will be for consumer use, it is for OT usage - plant machinery, medical devices, manufacturing equipment etc. LTSC requires a Microsoft EA. You can't legally obtain LTSC to run on your PC at home.
