[S.MULLA]

a new emulator called PearPC seems to be able to run OS X on x86 machines:

nevermind

Opio have you figured out your problem? Same thing is happening to me.

Yes, it was the Panther image I was using... reripped and it works like a charm now.

Since then, I've updated 1.3 -> 1.3.4 and now networking no longer works :(

[eaglebtc]

My setup: Panther 10.3.4, Windows XP Host, Ethernet Bridge.

I have had no luck getting file sharing to work between mac & windows, no matter which platform is sharing files. FTP is hardly functional; LIST-ing works, but as soon as I start transferring files, things just stop cold.

Any ideas?

ok, i got it installed on to the virtual hd, but how do i boot from it. I put a 0 so theres no CD, but it tells me that theres bot bootable drive.

Step 4: A command line prompt will appear. Run command "pdisk" (with out the " ")

I don't get it. when i load it up ithere is no command prompt, just the choice of #'s.

There's something else you gotta change in the config file, look for this line:

prom_env_machargs = ""

Put -s in between the quotes and you'll get the command prompt. I was in the same situation you were too haha :p When you're done doing all the steps in the boot procedure, change that back to just "" and it should boot.

# Example of how to use "force":

#prom_bootmethod = "force"

#prom_loadfile = "test/yaboot"

# machargs: set to "-v" to get a verbose startup

# This is needed if you want to boot Mac OS X

# This will adjust the position of the initial page table (don't change)

#

# PCI IDE Config

#

# Drive type will be set according to file extension:

# .img: Harddisk (filesize must be multiple of 516096)

# .iso: CD-Rom

# Or you can override this by specifying the type via

# pci_ide0_master_type / pci_ide0_slave_type

pci_ide0_master_installed = 1

pci_ide0_master_image = "pearpc-6gib.img"

#pci_ide0_master_type = "hd"

pci_ide0_slave_installed = 1

#pci_ide0_slave_image = "darwin-701.iso"

pci_ide0_slave_image = "osx2.iso"

#pci_ide0_slave_image = "/dev/cdrom"

pci_ide0_slave_type = "cdrom"

little help, i tried chaning Cd's but noting, tryed disabling it, nothing

[jkabaseball]

sorry guys, i've found my problem. i cn't edit my last message either.

also when people did the boot fix, did it type really fsat llike multiple letters are once?

[Rahul]

Hello!

I just got my new computer together and PearPC is off the wall! It boots in about 20-30 seconds to the desktop! I can minimize and open stuff great, and I got networking together in about a minute and a half!

I am posting this from OS X 10.3.4 with IRC, Konfabulator, Adium, and 3 safari windows open and it runs smooth. Just though I would share my success story!

[jkabaseball]

can someone help me with setting up the internet on OS X? I'm running XP,

[beefy]

You people are so cool!! I was watching The Screen Savers and Kevin showed pearpc with OSX running. Can't wait to try it out!!!!

[scowl]

i try to download stuff in mac and when it's done it says mount failed and then i can't open it. what do i need to do?

just double click on it in Finder

[scowl]

hmm.. must of been a bad download because i just downloaded something else and it worked.

[eaglebtc]

It happens about 50% of the time. Just double-click to re-mount.

[scowl]

how come i can't apply a theme i select in shapeshifter?

[phalanx126]

is pearpc still being developed, or has work halted on the project?

[aldo]

Phalanx: It's very much alive and active. Infact, soemone has Alvitec enabled without GUI artefacts (meaning we will see big speed increases and Alvitec in the next release, hopefully). Check below for screenshots:

Theres a new build of PearPC SDL with the new clock! The bouncing, progress bar and cursors animations are now correct!!

The new SDL build is from the 0.3pre cvs! "ppc.pre03.SDL.win32newclock.exe"

I also noticed a speed improvement when loading apps. :)

Thanks alot for that, the build is FAST! A very nice improvement i would say, not perfect but certainly very nice.

BTW there are some windows/osx mouse issues with this, the f12 mouse thing doesnt work. All you do is put your mouse over the program and it will start working in osx! But sometimes the allignment is totally wrong and you cant control it. Any fixes for this??

[scowl]

how did you get to load a theme syph? the apply now button for me in shapeshifter is off or something.
