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:

There has been recent discussions on the dev list regarding possibly forking the project, due to some unhappy contributors. Compromises have been proposed to try to keep this from happening, but this event really overshadows that discussion for now.

It will most definitely go on, but who will lead the 'definitive' branch is anyone's guess.

I wouldn't worry about that too much. Since the project is open source. As long as there are people who want the project to continue it will. Long live open source.

hi guys

im trying to install mac os x tiger but when it's booting it got stocked on "still waiting for root device" any solution to this?

thanx!!

I was shocked about the message, of stefans accident.

But in the developpers list Sebastian 'Seppel' Biallas wrote, that he would continue PearPC. He just need a but of time to realize what happened. And there is the whole developping network who stands beside him.

Stefan, Rest in Peace

Anyone get any of the recent builds to work? They don't complain about the "key_compose" entry in the config file now, but whenever I try to boot it something weird happens. It will get to the part where it would normally show the blue screen (past the grey screen with the "spinning circle" or whatever) and then the window gets really small, about 4 pixels high and I would guess 100 pixels long. I can't resize it and whenever I place my mouse over it I get the "busy" cursor. Anyone else get this?

i might have tiger by tommorow. Here is what i am wondering, will tiger run slow on pear pc. Like Longhorn it requires more speed. AND from what i have read it is a 64 bit os, but may run 32 bit. I just want to know if there is a speed difference between 10.4 and 10.3 in pearpc.

ANY News on Softpear yet???????

try changing from

prom_env_machargs = "-s"

to

prom_env_machargs = ""

inside your config

Look at my Tiger

[fukachu]

thats not tiger and i dont know who you are trying to fool. thats Object bar and the tiger theme released over at aquasoft.

the dashboard rainlendar skin and samurize itunes was recently released over there also.

the finder is nexplorer with a brushed theme.. and that is trillian with probably danimators skin. not to mention avedesk for the icons and im not sure on the dock.. if its yz, object or moby.. im not a pro with dock.

since when did ichat to msn? thats what made me straight away go trillian.

[santiagomedinasaenz]

Its my tigerPC,lol do you like it, lol

[clotz2000]

Instant Give Away's to tell if it's PC or not...

[santiagomedinasaenz]

I bet now it looks ecxactly the same

[oik]

the fonts, labels, and info for the folders are still pretty bad.

beyond the fact that there's no dashboard panel, just all the gadgets...

[santiagomedinasaenz]

I give up I don't know how to do that

I wish i could get it to look exactly

Who gives a crap man? Stop hijacking our PearPC thread, and take this to the Windows customization area. kthx..

lol, you guys don't get it. The actual MacOS X 10.4 pre-release doesn't have that glossy finder bar. only on the spotlight icon. I'm running it on my iMac.

[klop]

I prefer Panther. :D

I dont like the new visual improvments of Tiger like icon labels and blue on the top menu.

PS I know its not final only a pre-release!

[phalanx126]

hmm, with the newer builds i'm getting the following error message:

D:\pearpc>ppc ppccfgnew.cfg

ppccfgnew.cfg: ' " ' expected in line 1.

usuage: ppc configfile

anyone have any ideas how to fix this?
