Question

Recommended Posts

  • 0
i need a mac user to tell how to COMPLETELY Remove all know traces of that network card in os x. Like i said even if i remove it in the config or use the 3com one nothing changes in net preferences

Maybe this is a post for the Mac forums?

Guys, if your question is about PearPC ask it here. If its about Mac OS X, ask it in the Mac forums ;-).

man u guys r luck i felt so lucky last night to get both sharing and networking working now it wont

willvg : wow 100% of your posts are in this thread...

Why dont you try to reinstall everything...

Tap drivers, download the lastest build of PearPC, make a new config file and reinstall OSX.

Like you said before you already got networking working... it could be your windows configuration?

For those of us who haven't been reading the 130-odd pages of posts, can someone give a summary of what has been happening on this thread: namely, what are general success rates for installing OS X on an x86 using PearPC, and what is the user experience like (I've read a few posts, and apparently, because it is being emulated, the OS is at least 10 times slower than on a real Mac)? I would be greatful for someone giving a short summary, since I haven't had time to follow this thread in its entirety.

i followed this guide exactly and it worked great: http://s87840517.onlinehome.us/pearpc.html

If someone could tell me how to make it run faster i'd appreciate it.

I used Mac OS X 10.2 btw :unsure:

Try my guide :) I need people to try it . It runs almost as fast as it will right now though.

My Guide :D

Where can I get a bigger disk image than 6GiB?

well im only using about 52% or of of my cpu so :cool:

Reboot, and turn off hyperthreading. You'll see a significant performance increase (nearly double) because PearPC can now use 100% of your CPU instead of just 50%. The reason it only uses 50% is becuase PearPC is not hyperthreading-aware, and thus thinks your computer has multiple processors. It can only use one of these virtual "processors" at a time, though, and so you can't get 100% CPU usage without disabling hyperthreading.

haha I have 27 posts in this thread.....and this one is 28..... :D

also Liquid in you guide I would advice you to rewrite it without using the darwin .iso because there is no need to download it.

I was not aware you didn't need darwin. I tried without darwin and could not boot.

I was not aware you didn't need darwin. I tried without darwin and could not boot.

I did it without Darwin and it worked fine! :) Try borrowing your friend's copy of OSX 10.3 sometime, or go searcfh for the "exploding star" as I mentioned earlier.

    • Kdenlive 26.04.2 by Razvan Serea Kdenlive is an acronym for KDE Non-Linear Video Editor. It works on GNU/Linux, Windows and BSD. Through the MLT framework, Kdenlive integrates many plugin effects for video and sound processing or creation. Furthermore Kdenlive brings a powerful titling tool, a DVD authoring (menus) solution, and can then be used as a complete studio for video creation. Kdenlive supports all of the formats supported by FFmpeg or libav (such as QuickTime, AVI, WMV, MPEG, and Flash Video, among others), and also supports 4:3 and 16:9 aspect ratios for both PAL, NTSC and various HD standards, including HDV and AVCHD. Video can also be exported to DV devices, or written to a DVD with chapters and a simple menu. Video editing features: Multi-track editing with a timeline and supports an unlimited number of video and audio tracks. A built-in title editor and tools to create, move, crop and delete video clips, audio clips, text clips and image clips. Ability to add custom effects and transitions. A wide range of effects and transitions. Audio signal processing capabilities include normalization, phase and pitch shifting, limiting, volume adjustment, reverb and equalization filters as well as others. Visual effects include options for masking, blue-screen, distortions, rotations, colour tools, blurring, obscuring and others. Configurable keyboard shortcuts and interface layouts. Rendering is done using a separate non-blocking process so it can be stopped, paused and restarted. Kdenlive also provides a script called the Kdenlive Builder Wizard (KBW) that compiles the latest developer version of the software and its main dependencies from source, to allow users to try to test new features and report problems on the bug tracker. Project files are stored in XML format. An archiving feature allows exporting a project among all assets into a single folder or compressed archive. Built-in audio mixer Kdenlive 26.04.2 changelog: Remove not needed actions from render info, fix rough size calculation for rendering. Fix clip sometimes not inserted in timeline when moving vertically in bin drag. Fix transcoding from clip properties. Cleanup render profile audio quality. Use percent based value for audio quality, and adjust the range accordingly per codec. Fixes bug #520750 Enforce even numbers for render width/height. Fixes bug #520737 Fix nightly flatpak - disable rnnoise until implemented. Fix missing initialization. Edit mediacapture.cpp. Fix document unnecessarily marked as modified on opening, triggering a backup request. Fix incorrect detection of missing and remote clips causing unwanted backups. Fixes issue #2194 Fix tests. Fix tmp files copied to wrong location when setting project folder. Fixes bug #467740 Fix color clips not selected on creation. Use QFileInfo instead of QUrl/QDir to try fixing Windows shared drives. Fixes bug #451413 Fix timeline preview incorrectly invalidated when a track with effect duration changed. Fixes bug #514541 Fix missing var. Display paths in native format in render widget. Fixes bug #520428 Simple splash: fix pressing return always triggered the same button. Minor update to simple splash. Fix unwanted clips added to timeline and cleanup. Fixes issue #2190 Minor layout improvements to welcome screen, add Quit and Open shortcuts. Fix broken welcome dialog layout in tiling compositors. (craft) Limit the number of CPU cores used during a Windows build with mingw as some .cpp files are memory intensive to build. (kde-ci) Limit the number of CPU cores used during a build as some .cpp files are memory intensive to build. (kde-ci) Cleanup old entries. Another fix for animation crash. Fix uninitialized function - crash on create animation. Another attempt to fix MacOS permissions. MacOS: fix bundle release version. Fix MacOS plist path. Fix MacOS build.

    • Here's how to watch the Xbox Games Showcase today and what to expect by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe The June games showcase week has been a packed one, with everything from major presentations like Sony and Summer Game Fest to indie-focused reveals coming in almost every day. Now, it's almost time for another big one, with Microsoft bringing its Xbox Games Showcase back later today. This is a double feature too, with a Gears of War E-Day deep dive also being attached to it. For anyone wanting to tune in online, the 2026 Xbox Games Showcase is kicking off at 10 AM PT | 1 PM ET | 6 PM BST | 7 PM CEST later today, June 7. The event will be available to watch on the official Xbox YouTube (4K 60FPS), Twitch, Facebook, Steam, Amazon Live, and other portals. Separate livestreams for American Sign Language and Audio Description will also be available. "This year marks 25 years of XBOX, and this Showcase is poised to be a true celebration, offering world premieres, new gameplay, fresh updates, and more for a swathe of projects we cannot wait to share," said Microsoft about this presentation. With a new CEO behind it that is pulling off some interesting moves, Xbox may have some surprises to reveal today. New looks at first-party games like Halo Campaign Evolved from Halo studios, Fable from Playground Games, InXile Entertainment's Clockwork Revolution, Mojang's Minecraft Dungeons II, and Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4 from Infinity Ward are to be expected here. We may finally get to see the new Blade from Arcane Studios in action and a new Persona game from Atlus at the showcase too. Surprise announcements may also arrive from other Microsoft-owned studios like Bethesda, MachineGames, Ninja Theory, Obsidian, Rare, World's Edge, or Blizzard. Considering how every new release nowadays is staying away from November and December to avoid Grand Theft Auto VI's release, any launch dates Microsoft announces will probably skip those months as well. Once the Xbox Games Showcase ends, Microsoft will immediately kick off the Gears of War: E-Day Direct. This deep dive into the upcoming prequel from The Coalition should attach gameplay footage and perhaps a release window to the highly anticipated project.
    • People in the '50s and '60s had the same attitude, and we're still here over a half century later.
    • So after some fiddling I was able to get it to run at a pretty stable 30FPS. I'm slightly surprised about how much fiddling I had to do to get there though given what I thought was reasonable hardware: Processors: 16 × AMD Ryzen 7 7840HS w/ Radeon 780M Graphics Memory: 16 GiB of RAM Graphics Processor 1: AMD Radeon 780M Graphics Graphics Processor 2: AMD Radeon RX 7700S I think I could do it better if I use Linux rather than Windows, Windows RAM usage is stupid without stripping the system down. But once I got it working in a reasonable state, it was so awesome! I felt like a new Bond! If anyone has any advice to get things going a bit smoother FPS-wise, I'd appreciate it.
