I'm just wondering.. about how many people are using my GUI? Does anyone have any problems? LOL.. I don't get any feedback.. I think I'm the only one using it... lol

I am using it TEK

WIth the newest SDL version of PPC no doubt. ;)

I have tried other front end's I prefer yours. Thanks and keep up the good work.

I never could get your GUI to work all the way. The creating a hard disk image part works great though :)

Always when I press "Run this PearPC", the little green arrow to the right of the link turns red and nothing happens.

I use PearGUI right now for my config files and that seems to work alright.

I'm not, it's not that difficult that I would need an entirely seperate program just to change the settings....

I'm having a problem copying files from my network drive to the Mac. I'm using Panther 10.3.4 with the bridging enabled in Windows. I can surf the net on the Mac, so I know everything is configured correctly.

I've shared "D:\TEMP" on the Windows box, and so in the Mac I go to "smb://192.168.0.101" to make a connection with my PC. Soon I am prompted for the username and password, then I get to choose which volume / share I would like to mount. I choose "TEMP" from the list and Macintosh happily mounts the drive on my desktop.

The problem comes when I try to copy a file from the networked Windows drive to the Macintosh. I get the following error message:

If I press OK, the Mac tries, albeit unsuccessfully, to reestablish contact with the PC. It cannot do this, so I am forced to disconnect the volume and remount it. I double checked my permissions on that shared folder; all Administrators have access, and the Mac is using a passworded dummy account that belongs to the Admnistrators group. This is to ensure that it has full access to the hard drive.

Now, on the opposite side of the spectrum, I cannot get all the way into my shared folder on the Mac from Windows. In Windows, I can go to \\192.168.21.102 (the Mac) and Windows prompts me for a username and password.

Then I see a window with two icons: a folder called "\bradleyc" (my account name) and a printers/faxes icon. I double-clicked the first icon and waited. And waited. And waited.

Finally Windows gives up and says that the resource is no longer available. :angry:

Just tested that DirectX SDL test and i couldnt see any discernable differences, at least not that i could tell.

[jdkramar]

any ideas of why is these happening?

change from

prom_env_machargs = "-v"

to

prom_env_machargs = ""

how do i use the dx sdl anyways. i run it from cmd? cause i tried it and it says i was missing sdl.dll file. im using the precompiled versions of pearpc.

[phalanx126]

you need to download the SDL.dll from here http://www.libsdl.org/download-1.2.php and copy it into your PearPC folder. And yes you still have run it from CMD.

Just to let you know I am on the same page with you. I have never been able to get through a sharing session on my setup either. I get the same error.

Tekmaven - I tried it. Works fine! It's using an outdated version of PPC though. :)

You can update the PearPC version: its in the installdir\PearPC folder. :blink:

[unknown]

well i tried the dx sdl version of pearpc and i can see much better gui speed in my opinion. although i have to set my start resolution to 0 for 640*480 to get the window seeable, and sometimes the mousedoesnt go to al the corners of the sreen. although fighting with it will work.

does anyone know if it's possible to have full screen with richard goodwin's pentium 4 optimized builds?

[jack_canada]

I couldn't get networking to work, so I can't use internet in pearpc!

I want to register a .mac trial account, but I can only register on a mac, so I tried to use pearpc to emulate a mac and register .mac, but no internet!!!!!!!!!!!

can some1 help me register a .mac trial plz?????!!!!

[unknown]

jack_canada did u try some of the guides that are available. if they dont work try bridging ur connection and see if that helps.

[stokd]

I think I may be slightly retarded...how do you turn on fullscreen? :s I'm using the Richard Goodwin Athlon XP optimized nightly build. I have went back and read other pages so I don't need the "use the search button" speech :p

*edit* I found on another PearPC page that the fullscreen toggle is F12, but it doesn't go fullscreen for me, it just lets me use the OS X cursor rather than the one in Windows :s

I think it uses directx APIs some way or another .. I didn't see any difference in performance though.
