@Menge, thanks I would have thought as much. Performance isn't really going to get much better until they start using the graphics card too :(

[rocks1985]

depends on which was the last build you tested :p the sound build is kinda chuggy for me. but the non sound build is awesome (744MHz G3)

i thought the fastest it got was a 0 MHz g3 :blink:

EDIT didnt work: *my edited config file:*

did you even read my guide ??

Step 1: In the PearPC config file set prom_env_machargs = "-s" for single user mode

Step 2: Go to the line pci_ide0_slave_installed = 0 and change that 0 to 1

thats what my guide says. and look at your config file ..

pci_ide0_slave_installed = 0

you have to boot from the CD image to fix this problem. :sleep:

[pmh]

This is all I think the project needs now.

A linux distro that includes everything you need for pearpc and after it is all configured, it boots to OSx automatically.

Wouldn't that rock? It would be nearly dual booting OSX and XP (Or whatever other operating systeme you use)

thats what my guide says. and look at your config file ..

mmmm, no i havent read your guide i read Pulse's guide. ;)

so whats happening with the emu anyways? last thing i heard about it was that one of the developer got ran over by a train.....did the other guy keep working on it

[KlyX]

@Rudy: After Stefan was hit by the train (*snif*) the developpers worked on... They released PearPC 0.3.1 some weeks ago. On pearPc.net you find Releases of PPC 0.4pre, which are very nice (Native CD-ROM Support/Sound Support) and the 0.4pre works a good bit faster than the official 0.3.1...

And now we are waiting fpr 0.4 :-)

[v_magal]

Wow he was hit by a train? damn im so sad to hear that did he survive? ...:cry:

[thetman]

no he did not, i believe

[joasjdoajsd]

Ok...when I open pearpc I get the pearpc window but it says there are zero bootable partitions...how do i make one?

[ATLien_0]

well the latest news at perpc.net and emaculation.com is that pearpc is up to 0.4 pre and there is semi sound support and full cd support. Along with accurate proccesor readings and the timings have been fixed

[KlyX]

@v_magal: No, he did no survive :-(

pearpc ripoff!

[FrAxElAnK]

Ok guys, i need some help here. I am new to running Pearpc so I used the program PearPC Control Panel to create a config file and to get PearPC up and running. It seems to be working alright untill a gray screen with the apple logo appears with a spinning circle and this one line keeps repeating in the log window. Any ideas?
