Yeah, networking didn't work at first but I just done what was said on this thread. Remove the networking from the config, start PPC, shutdown OS X, add networking back into the config, start OS X. That's all I done.

Theres no need to keep asking every few minutes :blink:

Ok, what version lets me get more than 128mb ram? I've tried Richard's nightly builds (both P4 and noarch) and neither will boot properly. I get startup and then the crossed circle and "still waiting for root device". This is on any memory config except the 128mb one.

Hmmmm just thinking....... I wonder if the amount of ram set when you install it has any influence on it.

I'm sorry, but I'm a dumbass, does anyone have a link/key/legend so I can edit the amount of memory that it will use?

I've got 1gb of memory and I wish to allocate 512mb to pearpc

Windows calc will do it

Work out 512 * 1024 * 1024

Then convert it to Hex.

You will need to be in scientific mode to see the Dec/Hex options.

I'm testing the new network support now.. I hope I have the same sucess others have had :D

Does anyone know how to control the fullscreen mod more then just refresh rate? I have dual montiors, and no matter where i put the PearPC Window, when I push F5, it goes to my primary display. What would be nice is the ability to put it on my other display, and hit a key to break out of it and go back to Windows (on the primary), and then when im ready to use it again just click into it.

Who do I even suggest anything like this to? :huh:

Edit: Oh, and it would be really nice if someone mapped right-click! (When I put my USB Microsoft Mouse on the G4 at work, OSX maps my right click properly; so I know it can be done)

Another thing I've noticed: when typing, sometimes the letter gets repeated a few times. For example, if I'm in Safari, and type: https://www.neowin.net, it may come out as, http://www.nnnneeeowinn.nnnet//

I'm using a Microsoft Bluetooth Keyboard; but that shouldnt effect it.

No I think it's a wider problem. I found that when I was in single user mode doing pdisk stuff, it woudl often double up characters.

Still, early days......

    • DWARF mini review: the world's smallest smart telescope for night and day sky captures

      By Malisk · Posted

      I think it depends on what you're looking for to do; get an innate understanding of the night sky or a "quicker" path to astrophotography end results. I put "quicker" in quotes because with my Dwarf 3, I easily spend 3-4 hour sessions, half an hour driving to an un-light polluted place, setting up the smart scope + tripod for equatorial tracking, spending a few hours shooting, merging photo sessions, etc. It's something I still need to set aside a good part of an evening to do, all in all. With practice, I can probably begin cutting time here but I think where smart scopes find their home is among people who love to shoot the night sky but don't have the spare time to go deep with the "navigator level" attunement to the night sky itself.

      I misread the title and thought Teams itself would be redesigned. Imagine having this one as a native WinUI app.
    • Dell, HP PCs ran into endless reboot, BitLocker recovery loops but Windows 11 isn't to blame

      By hellowalkman · Posted

      Dell, HP PCs ran into endless reboot, BitLocker recovery loops but Windows 11 isn't to blame by Sayan Sen Last month Neowin reported on a major issue on Dell systems wherein a bug in its official support tool was leading to endless blue screen of death (BSOD) and restarts. Following our report, Dell officially acknowledged its SupportAssist-related crash issue, confirming that the culprit is not Microsoft's operating system but rather a faulty version of its own remediation software. In a newly published support advisory, Dell stated that version 5.5.16.0 of Dell SupportAssist Remediation and Alienware SupportAssist Remediation can trigger blue screen errors and unexpected system restarts. The company notes that the problematic component operates independently of the main SupportAssist application, meaning users should not remove the primary SupportAssist software when troubleshooting the issue. According to Dell, the crashes are linked specifically to the SupportAssist Remediation service, which is bundled with SupportAssist OS Recovery Tools, and as such it has since released an updated version, 5.5.16.1, which is said to resolve the problem. Affected users are advised to first verify whether version 5.5.16.0 is installed by checking the Installed Apps section in Windows Settings. If so, Dell recommends updating SupportAssist OS Recovery Tools through either SupportAssist's "Update Software" feature or Dell Command Update. Dell also advises users to back up important data before performing the update and to ensure systems remain connected to power throughout the installation process. If you are still having issues though make sure to report to the Dell support forum. As it turns out though Dell is not the only PC maker currently dealing with update-related headaches as HP is also facing a separate but probably equally frustrating issue involving recent Windows Secure Boot updates that were released with recent Windows 11 Patch Tuesdays. Similar to Dell, HP also put up its own support article where it explains the issue. The company says that affected devices could hit a brick wall when booting as they run into a BitLocker recovery loop after the April 2026 updates. The problem appears to affect systems wherein the new UEFI Secure Boot CA 2023 certificates fail to apply properly. As such affected users will find themselves entering their recovery key over and over again despite the system otherwise functioning normally. HP says such PCs should be updated to the latest available BIOS version and configured with the necessary Secure Boot certificates before installing Microsoft's Windows 11 Patch Tuesday updates. Systems that are already experiencing the problem may require BIOS configuration changes to restore normal boot behavior. Admins can find information regarding that in the support article here on HP's official website.
    • Ninja Theory's new Hellblade game is action-focused and set in Purgatory

      By Case_f · Posted

      Getting further away from the artistic study of mental disease that was the first game... (which never needed any sequels to begin with) But I get it, a company has to make money. And the second was at least visually impressive, if not in any other way.
    • Halo: Campaign Evolved is out next month with new prequel missions

      If its the devs fault you would think Unreal would help M$ take full advantage of Unreal and work with them to fix the performance issues. Otherwise they are catching unwarranted bad press.
