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:

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.

:D and there is no "e" in said explosion either...

Is there a way to pick a windows share within PearPC? That'd be handy instead of changing ISOs.

Don't know if your question was answered, but it's really easy: just setup a Shared folder in Windows, and make sure that a passworded account has access to those shared files. If you run Administrator with a password, or your current account is using a password, you're good to go.

Then go to the Mac, click "Go > Connect to Server" and type in the following:

smb://mycomputer/

Obviously, you replace "mycomputer" with the network name of your PC. Mine is \\Yorbamicro, for example. So I would type smb://yorbamicro. It's self-explanatory from there.

Whoa. What the hell. I just tried to play Quicktime on the web.

The movie played for about 3 seconds, then I got this:

Is this an elegant crash?

[gawdflesh]

That's a kernel panic message. An elegant version of the BSOD. ;)

B-E-A-UTIFUL!

As disheartening as a crash may be, this is truly a testament to the stability of PearPC; if there is a kernel panic inside the Mac, it stays contained in the Mac. It does not cause PearPC to vomit.

I have Panther (10.3) installed, but when I try run the OSXUpdate 10.3.3 package, it says my hard drive is not ready for this update. I get a red exclamation sign. Why?

[lio]

I've installed Panther OSX 10.3, without problem

but after a reboot, the installer asks me the CD2.

I've tried to close the installer but nothing happens.

I've mounted the CD in pearpc, alcohol, deamon tool.....

But the installer doesn't detect the CD

What should i do?

Thanks

:whistle:

Maybe you should lurk a little bit longer before begging for help. This question has been answered many times in this thread. Please try to keep the number of posts to a minimum. Thank you.

you sure that you're using the combo/full update and not a 10.3.2 > 10.3.3 update?

I used the address from http://pearpc.net . Surfed straight to their site on my copy of PearPC. It was close to 60MB.

This is the link I am downloading: http://wsidecar.apple.com/cgi-bin/nph-reg3...Combo10.3.3.dmg

That's a cool site.

eaglebtc: hrm strange indeed.. but why not install the 10.3.4 update? I have no networking problems what so ever.. install it, reboot, update to r2 of the networking pearpc and you're off to go..

when you say update to r2, do you mean that patch?? if so, what do i do with that??

meaning to DL the new files from here and install them.. but I have managed to get the network going without the "win32 networking r2 patch", just installed the new tap driver + using the newer non-arch jit build..

wow 26 posts (27 now) in this thread and only 298 in total over 2.5 years. Can u tell i'm excited about OSX?

[Pootis Spencer]

LOL Same here.

I hardly ever post on Neowin but this thread has got my attention.

[Fozzieb]

Just thought, I bet we can all fully use OSX on a PC befor Microsoft get Longhorn out the door :yes:

[cmove]

That's great for the windows user :)

Even an OS X crash looks nice..... :D

[jedavis1]

Has anyone got Richard Goodwin's nitely build to connect to the internet/network or work with the full screen? I could have sworn yesterday's build had that stuff in it... Maybe I am just confused by this big-ass thread? :D

[Fozzieb]

I'm too confused now, i'm sticking with the original net & fscreen build.

I think all the releases should have tha dates in the file name so we can keep track and state what is included in the build before things get out of hand.

[colordeficiency]

What the hot key for fullscreen? F5? When I press it, it just sort of refresh and nope, no full screen. I'm using John's build as networking works there as oppose to rgoodwin's build which I tried earlier.
