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:

Can anyone see a fault in my config?

Can not choose an Ethernet card in OSX

ppc_start_resolution = 7

fs_refresh_rate = 75

redraw_interval_msec = 40

prom_driver_graphic = "video.x"

prom_bootmethod = "select"

prom_env_bootargs = ""

prom_env_machargs = ""

memory_size = 0x10000000

pci_ide0_master_installed = 1

pci_ide0_master_image = "imgs/osxhd.img"

pci_ide0_master_type = "hd"

pci_ide0_slave_installed = 1

pci_ide0_slave_image = "imgs/Macintosh OSX 10.2 Jaguar Disc 1.iso"

pci_ide0_slave_type = "cdrom"

pci_rtl8139_installed = 1

pci_rtl8139_mac = "de:ad:ca:fe:12:34"

#pci_3c90x_installed = 1

#pci_3c90x_mac = "de:ad:ca:fe:12:34"

#pci_rtl8139_installed = 1

#pci_rtl8139_mac = "de:ad:ca:fe:12:35"

pci_usb_installed = 1

nvram_file = "nvram"

I am pretty sure that it doesn't work in Jaguar. I have two pretty identical installs except on HD image is panther the other jaguar and jaguar doesn't work, but panther does. Go figure?

I finally got the connection working! In OSX I went into Proxies and checked Web Proxy(HTTP) then clicking Apply Now (left the boxes for web proxy server blank)

Use this in your config file, it applies just as well

To get people buy Office 2004 and keep apple from making an iWrite and iSheet app.

MS doesn't have a monopoly on OS X software, so they actually need a good product.

[HellBender]

That's been done.

Oh really? You mean I'm not the first person to ever install Office?

I'm stunned.

Yup, at least 2-4 other posters were showing it off many pages back.

well microsoft can still spend time and make office look as nice as the osx version

look at office 2003 how much different does it look compared to office xp, 2000, and 97 not much just a slight change. Then look at their version for mac and look at the detail and the 3d graphs in excel

i'm running 10.3.3 with networking, running nice, i like it.

Yeah, I tried that already. It does indeed change the resolution, but full screen mode no longer works. I try pushing F5, but the screen just flickers and nothing happens.

Did you change the refresh rate to match what you're using in your normal desktop?

Works fine here :unsure:
