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 got the same popup everytime I log in to panther.

When you start in fullscreen it is , when you start in windows it goes away and log in automatic.

[jack_canada]

It flashes and closes because it's a dos window!!!

go to run command and execute ppc with the configfile!

When I attempt to enable ICS on my wireless connection I get this...

[klop]

Try using a bridge instead, its easier.

You only have to select your LAN connection with the TAP on and right click and create a bridge.

I'm working with a bridge now since I have a router and I didnt want to change my network settings.

[Azadre]

I tried a bridge earlier, but then my wifi stopped working.

Looking at your config, it shouldnt be booting into OSX at all, you havent set up the img files, unless your under linux, in which case ignore me

No i'm using WIndows XP

WOuld these be ok for it to boot?

i dont see why not, they look ok

[santiagomedinasaenz]

But still showing th same window with the crossline in the circle and its unable to boot

any idea why?

[Dazzla Veteran]

You've got a forward slash and a backwards slash:

"C:\PearPC/HD-OS-X-Panther-PREP.img"

It should be:

"C:\PearPC\HD-OS-X-Panther-PREP.img"

Same with the CD, should be:

"C:\PearPC\OSX_CD1.iso"

[FatCat]

can someone please point me to a good guide which will help me set up the sdl version of ppc as well as what my config should look like? I'm new to this :)

anyone?

All the guides I find are either outdated or don't show me what I need to do like create a bat file for the sdl version. :(

I created a .bat file with:

@echo

ppc ppccfg.osx

I run it but it closes and I get a txt file with

[TAP-WIN32]: Enumerating TAP devices...

main() caught exception: Could not locate any installed TAP-WIN32 devices.

[Dazzla Veteran]

I presume you've got a Hard Drive image at:

C:\PearPC\HD-OS-X-Panther-PREP.img

and the OSX Iso at:

C:\PearPC\OSX_CD1.iso

?
