man this SDL build is pretty fast !! now only if they fix the timing issue ..that will be soo sweet !

[Fozzieb]

And give us sound, full usb & firewire support ......

all in good time, all in good time.

I'm still amazed at how far this has come in such a short time.

Am I the only one that the clock in OSX is going crazy?

5 minutes = 1 real minute...

The bouncing animation, progress bar and cursors animations are too fast... :blink:

Argh. I'm having this weirdo issue with my PearPC OS X 10.3.4 install. It *used* to be fine; now when I turn it on, the Apple logo comes up, and that thing spins.. forever..

Anyone know whats going on? :-(

Timings are very inaccurate and the clock is broken. Don't rely on benchmarks made in the client.

there ya go ..

Okay lol thanks!

Anyone have networking working in SDL0003? I can't for the life of me figure out why it doesn't work. I go into .2pre works fine, go to SDL 0003, no go :blink: :blink:

[ATLien_0]

could someone post a compiled .003 with fullscreen, net, and 2 button mouse patches cause i cant get this compiling thing down

dBook ?

[aka JAWheat411]

Okay, my appoligies. Ya see, I knew I overlooked soemthing :-). I'm giving the config file the value "video.x", without the path too it! As a quick fix, try copying video.x to the folder with your secondary image file (i put it in the primary, it didnt work, and i put it in the pearpcfront folder and it didnt work).

Weird lol

I had that Video.x problem on one computer but not on another lol. ;)

Can someone fill me in on Pearpc, since I haven't been keeping up :(

1) Is it usuable

2) can you use it in full screen or are you still limited to 1024x765 windowed.

yes, it can be made fullscreen (the modded pearpc version)

[eaglebtc]

Yes. No CDROM support yet. And no more than 2 devices either.

<<<staring at the upgrade screen for the past 40 minutes and that time frame that stupid installer script has said 13 minutes remaining... frustrated again

TS

[McKrout]

so im a little confused and frustrated by this. i've been installing the 10.3.3 combined update for about the 2 to maybe 3 hours and the last hour it has just sat there at "Running installer script, time remaining: 13 minutes" now i remember that that section of the install took a while when installing the actual OS, but can anyone tell me roughly how long this should take?? thank you.

TS

[McKrout]

nevermind, its decided that will continue now

TS

[jdkramar]

does anyone know how to remove the 10.3.4 update i think thatll be my best bet for networking

You have to reinstall OSX.

[eaglebtc]

You have to reinstall OSX.

I'm doing this right now on the SDL binary. This time, I chose the UNIX file system instead of the Mac OS Journaled system. This should take some additional load off the PearPC's virtual CPU.

quick question: how do you direct cygwin to the ppcsdl0003 sourse directory so that it will compile?

[Fozzieb]

Same as dos prompt is it not, cd c:\source ....

[Peter82]

I use this :

PearPC sdl.0003 Windows binary (SDL library)

It is very fast but how about network in that version.

How ?

[evacsoul]

quick question: how do you direct cygwin to the ppcsdl0003 sourse directory so that it will compile?

just put the ppcsdl0003 source directory into your c:\cygwin\home\username folder, then all you have to do is "cd ppcsdl0003"
