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 ...

    • Microsoft released new Defender update for Windows 11, 10, Server ISO installations

      By hellowalkman · Posted

      Microsoft released new Defender update for Windows 11, 10, Server ISO installations by Sayan Sen Microsoft releases new Windows Defender update packages very frequently to protect against various newly discovered malware. Once a while every three months or so, the company also pushes out these updates to Windows images (WIM and VHD) and ISOs, that are used to install Windows. Hence with the newest Windows 11 update available via the official MCT tool, you should get these definitions. This update package is necessary as a Windows installation image may contain old, outdated anti-malware definitions and software binaries. Aside from better security, these updates can also provide improved performance benefits in some cases. When a new Windows installation is set up, there may be a temporary security risk due to outdated Microsoft Defender protection in the OS installation images. This happens because the antimalware software included in these images might not be up to date. Thus Microsoft says that these updated definitions essentially help close this protection gap. Microsoft delivered the latest security definitions for Windows images via security intelligence update version 1.445.323.0. The Defender package version is also the same. It applies to Windows 11, Windows 10 ESU, Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC 2021, Win 10 Ent LTSC 2019, Win 10 Ent LTSB 2016, Windows Server 2022, Windows Server 2019, and Windows Server 2016. Microsoft writes: "This package updates the anti-malware client, anti-malware engine, and signature versions in the OS installation images to following versions: Platform version: 4.18.26040.7 Engine version: 1.1.26040.8 Security intelligence version: 1.447.236.0" From Microsoft's security bulletin, we learn that the security intelligence update version 1.447.236.0 was released early last month and adds threat detections for various malware like trojan, backdoor exploits, ransomware, stealers, AutoKMS, and more. For those wondering, the latest intelligence update is version 1.451.297.0 at the time of writing.

    • 007 First Light review: Satisfying spy adventure that James Bond needed

      By Nick H. · Posted

      I'm not happy with myself for it, but I've gone and got hold of it. Just another 45 minutes and I'll be Bond, James Bond. In my defence, IO's Hitman series is awesome, and I'm a sucker for 007. So while it might seem a bit simplified compared to Hitman, I'm sure I'll be right at home.
