[S.MULLA]

i have 512 ram, how much can i allocate and how do i do it?

PearPC RAM settings HOWTO

1) Open the Windows Calculator ..

2) Go to View ..

3) select "scientific" ..

4) make sure its at "Dec" ..

5) Now type whatever amount of memory you want ..

6) Click on "Hex", memorize that Hex value ..

7) Open your PearPC config file and go to the line where it says #memory_size=0x8000000

8) Remove that # sign and type that Hex value over 80

For example:

256(Dec) = 100(Hex)

So to get 256 megs of RAM you have to type -> memory_size=0x10000000

384(Dec) = 180(Hex)

So to get 384 megs of RAM you have to type -> memory_size=0x18000000

I don't quite understand your situation...

Is Mac OS X properly installed yet? If so, boot off the hard disk image.

change slave device to 1 then change prom_bootmethod = "auto" to prom_bootmethod = "select"

now if you run pearpc .. you will see a prompt that will ask you which drive you want to boot from. Choose the HD and when OS X boots up u will see the 2nd CD on the desktop.

Uh.. I think you might have spyware in Windows...

PearPC is giving me a great chance to learn Mac OS X before I switch over :)

has anyone compiled this new version yet?

[evacsoul]

I've tried, but I'm getting some errors during the make install in cygwin

[evacsoul]

Ah, according to this, it's only for linux right now :(

[KeR]

god I wish they can release a DirectX version...he better get on it soon.

[klop]

Dont flame me if its already been asked but its hard to find somthing in this thread.

I installed the first CD PearPC closed after he finished. I restarted and tells me theres no bootable partition.

I tried PearPC bootfix (http://s87840517.onlinehome.us/fixboot.html) changing the prom_env_machargs = "-s" but it doesnt seems to work...

Is there a way to fix this? I dont want to use darwin. :(

[banli]

yo, can someone tell me if its possible to get networking in 10.1 yet?

[klop]

Nevermind got it working! :D

Really nice! :laugh:

I like the OSX default font!

How do you think it would fare on my 1.4 gHz with 256mb of ram. And yes I read about the emulation being 1/40 of what it should actually be. Will I get at least sub-par performance or usable enough to use? :shifty:

[Rob2687]

right now i dont think its usable enough to use for anyone :/

its slower than my Apple II with os 7.1 and im running ppc on a p4c 3ghz, 512 ddr400
