has anyone tried out .2 yet? if so, what's the performance like?

I just tried it and am somewhat disappointed. The clock patch doesn't seem to be in it and it was actually slower than some of the nightly builds, especially the new SDL build. :crazy:

Just my $.02 anyway.

just keep in mind that the nightly builds for around a week now have been from the 0.3pre trunk. this 0.2 release was a late release.

also, the sdl builds aren't official. the releases won't be as fast as the sdl ones (since they dont share the same drawing code). also the latest sdl builds have somewhat been taken off of an almost 0.3pre trunk. and the sdl code probably won't be merged with the main trunk.

The clock patch wasnt supposed to be in 0.2 it will be in 0.3 take a look in the changelog.

Thats why im using nightly builds right now.

yeah, the .3 sdl versions are much better than this...the only thing better in this version is the ability to change resolution on the fly...can any tell me why none of the pearpc build will let me go to 1024x768 resolution full screen...i can do it with 800x600, but not with 1024x768 and it's incredibly annoying? i have a 15' flat panel that's sets to 1024x768 in native win xp and i have nvidia desktop manager activated, could that be it?! SOMEONE HELP!

Depends on how you define "best." I assume you want the fastest and prettiest version. I would get the 0.3 SDL from http://www.richardgoodwin.com/pearpc . Also, don't forget to remove the bridge in your XP networking, and re-enable Internet Connection Sharing on your primary connection.

Does anyone know where the "Bong" sound is? It's got to be buried inside a system file somewhere. Or is it only embedded in the BIOS? I'd like a link to it, please.

Also, some of the shortcuts don't quite work. I have a hard time force-quitting on this computer. It would be nice if the developers could lock the keyboard somehow so that Alt-Esc and others like it would not cause Windows to react. I would like to use the Alt-Tab feature in panther but cannot because Windows takes precedence.

I suppose the answer to that last one is, "buy a real mac!" :p

To use "alt + esc" press F11 then press alt, let go, then esc. Then press F11 again.

Having a problem installing MacOSX here, first time using PearPC, I think I have all setting right but it just hangs here in the installer with no further progress. I took a screenshot of the log and attached it below, anyone know what the problem is or any suggestions?

In my opinion you're best off going here: https://www.neowin.net/forum/index.php?showtopic=167708

follow this guide then download the 0.3sdl build. rename it ppc.exe and replace the old ppc in your pearpc folder. you also must download the sdl.dll from here: http://www.libsdl.org/release/SDL-1.2.7-win32.zip

just drop it into your pearpc folder.

    • Alien Isolation 2 will bring a new protagonist and setting, watch the reveal trailer here

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      Alien Isolation 2 will bring a new protagonist and setting, watch the reveal trailer here by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Only a few weeks ago, Sega and Creative Assembly dropped a teaser for a new Alien Isolation. Today at Summer Game Fest, Alien: Isolation 2 was officially announced with a new trailer while also confirming a whole lot of information about the setting of this survival horror project. Check out the reveal trailer above. Leaving behind the Sevastopol space station, the sequel will take players to a remote colony world. With a Xenomorph (or more) on the loose, players will be navigating both the surface of the weather-ravaged planet as well as "the claustrophobic confines of the Weyland-Yutani outpost of Kurosaki Station." Interestingly, Creative Assembly is leaving behind Amanda Ripley, the daughter of Alien's Ellen Ripley, as the protagonist too. While it hasn't confirmed a name yet, players will be taking the role of a new character for this new adventure. The setting is also being described as a new hunting ground for the Alien. This will have players improvising and developing new tools to aid in their survival and escape, all to avoid "cinema’s deadliest killer." "It has been over a decade since we created the original Alien: Isolation and I am so excited to show everyone the first glimpse of the sequel," says Al Hope, Creative Director at Creative Assembly. "Our dedicated Survival team at Creative Assembly has been working hard to create a new, evolved Isolation experience continuing the legacy of the Alien franchise, making the eponymous killer smarter, the environment harsher and the chance of survival slimmer." Promising the same deadly tension from the original from over a decade ago, Alien: Isolation 2 is in development for PC, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch 2, and PlayStation 5. A release date has not been announced yet.

    • Final Fantasy VII Remake Part 3 is getting a simultaneous release across PC and all consoles

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      Final Fantasy VII Remake Part 3 is getting a simultaneous release across PC and all consoles by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Square Enix showed up to the Summer Game Fest presentation today with multiple trailers showing off its next chapter in the Final Fantasy VII Remake saga. The final chapter of this trilogy now has an official name too, with it being dubbed Final Fantasy VII Revelation, following up Final Fantasy VII Remake and Final Fantasy VII Rebirth from recent years. Vincent Valentine, Cid, Cloud, Barret, Tifa, and more showed up in the trailers as they battle against enemies, or 'Weapons,' from the final chapter. "As the world teeters on the brink of annihilation, the final battle against Sephiroth begins," says the trailer description. "A meteor mars the sky, monstrous planetary guardians wreak havoc across the globe, and the fires of war rage. Now, Cloud and his companions must stand against this chaos to not only decide the planet's fate, but bring a legendary conflict to its conclusion." Following the reveal trailer, the show also dropped some gameplay footage that shows off a new way to travel across the open world using the Highwind airship. Players will be able to swap characters on during battles, use tactical mode to synchronize with allies, and summon their entities. Cid Highwind and Vincent Valentine are joining the party this time too. “FINAL FANTASY VII, first released in 1997, has been beloved by fans for many years and has since become a “legend” in its own right," added producer Yoshinori Kitase. "The FINAL FANTASY VII Remake Series that began in 2020 with everyone’s passionate support is finally reaching its climactic finale with FINAL FANTASY VII REVELATION. The story’s final destination represents my emotions spanning thirty years working on this title" One of the biggest revelations of this announcement, however, was the multiplatform release confirmation from the get-go. Square Enix will be releasing Final Fantasy VII Revelation across PC, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch 2, and PlayStation 5 in Spring 2027 without any timed exclusivity programs.
