how are you guys transferring files from your harddrive to os x?

1) Place all the files you want to put in OS X in a folder

2) Use an ISO creating program to create an ISO out of the folder

3) Redirect "pci_ide0_slave_image" to your newly created ISO

There are other ways, this just works for me

Not sure if you are aware, but there is a thread going on for a PearPC logo

I just saw Fozzieb's background for it & rememberd to drop a line here, you can grab some goodies there or contribut yourselves, or just give your opinion on the works there.

I tried installing 10.3 but I'm having some problems.

PPC quit while installing from CD1 saying "Error: Reset!" and when I boot back into PPC, I get an error saying there are no bootable partitions. I'm using the config file and instructions from the Neowin Guides section.

Any idea wahts wrong?

HellBender, it installed correctly but you have to edit the partition tables, go to this site:

http://www.emaculation.com/phpBB/viewtopic.php?t=1102

and start at step 9

durr, they said the same thing in the guide I was reading, but I entirely skipped over that part. Maybe I should read before posting stoopid questions..

Oh well, I deleted my old image so im reinstalling now x_x

Hi folks,

Alright, I've been reading the posts and have heard a couple of people mention their pearpc is hanging at the grey apple screen when booting the OSX installation disk.

I have the same problem.

My config file etc.is good, I have read all the previous posts, and could use any advice you may have...

Hopefully someone out there knows whats going on.

Thanks!

dokkta: Open your config file and change the line "pci_ide0_slave_installed = 1" to "pci_ide0_slave_installed = 0" and all your problems will go away.

Phew finally got it working... Too slow to do anything very productive though :pinch: What can you do on here? 'net doesnt work yet does it? Where ya'll get them wallpapers from?

Yeah, I'm using an optimized 5/25 trunk build.

I've been trying different redraw_interval_msec values, and I just set it to 1 and its beautifully smooth :) Takes about 30 seconds for something as simple as sys prefs to come up, but it looks good :cool:

Again, can I put custom wallpapers on here?

Anyway to increase the HD image size after installtion? I don't wanna reinstall everything. And is currently using the 3GB image.

I do not really know if it will work but try this:

1. make a new bigger disc.

2. Mount the new disc as slave.

3. Use the "copy disc" function in OS X

Could work ...

    • What browser do you prefer to use, and why?

      By +Edouard · Posted

      The current Statcoungter desktop numbers has Google Chrome increasing it's market share this past year and currently commanding 75% share. Everybody else is just making up the numbers with even MS Edge losing 3% this past year and has dipped just below 10% share which is staggering considering it's default on every Windows deviced purchased. If these numbers are correct that terrible Edge number is both devastating and embarrassing for MS especially when you add in the terribly low Bing market share. This leads me to ask a couple of questions as the default browser holding just less than 10% market share seems really weird. It used to be that all Chromium browsers were being counted as Google Chrome in some cases.  Is this still happening? Do these high Google Chrome numbers contains some Edge user numbers?
    • Browser vendors pen open letter to Microsoft saying "enough is enough"

      Yeah, all web browsers seem to have some junk in them these days. The regular Brave browser has a lot of unnecessary stuff in it, similar to Microsoft Edge, so I don't see any benefits of using Brave over Microsoft Edge if you already have Microsoft Edge fully set up with ad blockers and that. The cleanest or best free browser outside of 'Microsoft Edge' I’ve tried so far is 'Samsung Browser'. It has very little bloat and is a nice-looking web browser with an inbuilt 'Ad blocker'. I also really like the web browser called 'Floorp' that is based on Firefox. This browser can also install Chrome extensions. I have a system wide Ad blocking program for Windows 11 that doesn't just blocks ads in the web browser, but over the whole system. I don't really need a web browser with an inbuilt ad blocker because of that.
