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 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.

    • Ninja Theory's new Hellblade game is action-focused and set in Purgatory by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Ninja Thery has been building its award-winning Hellblade series since 2017, delivering Senua's Sacrifice and Senua's Saga since then. Today at the 2026 Xbox Games Showcase, the studio had a brand-new installment announcement featuring Senua again, but this time, she is in a version of purgatory, and the focus is on the action. Simply named Senua, this new entry is described as a "full-on action-adventure" experience, delivering an expanded focus on combat, puzzle-solving, and freedom of exploration. The developer says that it is keeping the same high production values and storytelling features of the previous games while giving what players have been asking for in the gameplay department. The entirety of Ninja Theory is now working on Senua, giving the project much more manpower than ever before, while also letting the team draw on its action roots from Devil May Cry and prior titles. However, the studio also confirmed that its previously announced Project Mara horror experience is no longer in development. Alongside snappier traversal moves, Senua will be able to take stealth and direct combat routes. She has access to her own sword, plus any enemy weapons as well, with dual wielding also being an option for most dropped melee swords, axes, and other weapons. Outside of melee combat, Senua will be able to use special abilities that let her alter the reality around her. The world is said to be about twice the size of Hellblade 2. While this won't be an open-world experience, the linear story will let players explore their surroundings further than before. The story of Senua will be set after the events of previous Hellblade titles, with our protagonist being stuck in her own version of Purgatory. The series' well-explored psychosis themes will return as well. "She’s trapped between life and death on a quest to reach the afterlife and be reunited with the ones that she’s loved and lost," adds the studio. "Her belief is that by healing the wounds of her life, she can find the peace that is the key that unlocks the gate to the afterlife." Senua is releasing on Xbox Series X|S, PC, and PlayStation 5 sometime in 2027.
    • Windows has had it, it's called camera frame server. I recall when it was first introduced in an early Windows 10 release it caused issues and there was a registry entry to disable it. Seems like they disabled it by default at some point. Windows 11 brought that toggle to the settings app (not just registry) a while ago.
    • You didn't like Mafia The Definite Edition? As a fan of the first when it came out, I liked that remake.
