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:

I think the default OS X theme for Firefox is just beautiful... Pinstripe.

Running here now. Definately faster than I thought it would be on this system.

You know what's scary. Quicktime starts faster in PearPC than it does in Windows for me.

Fix your CPU Config

##

## CPU Config

##

## Processor Version Register

## Defaults to 0x00088302

## Only change if you know want you are doing

##

cpu_pvr = 0x00088302

[Kurt871]

It would seem that the new "integrated" build @ Richard Goodwin's site does NOT include the full-screen mod, only the networking one. F5 does not work, nor does setting a higher resolution number (IE: 14)

Tried that, still didnt work..

It just goes to show you how much effort is put into Win32 programming at Apple. :rofl:

## PearPC Configuration File

##

## Resolution

##

## 0: 640x480x8 (indexed)

## 1: 640x480x15

## 2: 640x480x32

## 3: 800x600x8 (indexed)

## 4: 800x600x15

## 5: 800x600x32

## 6: 1024x768x8 (indexed)

## 7: 1024x768x15

## 8: 1024x768x32

## 9: 1280x960x8 (indexed)

## 10: 1280x960x16

## 11: 1280x960x32

## 12: 1280x1024x8 (indexed)

## 13: 1280x1024x16

## 14: 1280x1024x32

##

## The indexed modes are unsupported.

##

## default: 4

ppc_start_resolution = 5

##

## Refresh Rate (in hertz)

##  (only applicable in full screen mode )

##

## default: 60

fs_refresh_rate = 85

##

## Redraw interval (in ms)

## must be between 1 and 999

##

## If you set this higher, PearPC will spend less time doing redraws (and so run faster)

## but feel less responsive. You should adjust this to your computer speed and personal

## preference.

##

redraw_interval_msec = 10

##

## Loader

##

##

## Boot method

##  this can be

##  1. "auto", prom will boot the first bootable partition found (default)

##  2. "select", prom will show you a list of bootable partitions

##  3. "force", prom will load and boot the local file prom_loadfile

##

prom_bootmethod = "auto"

## Example of how to use "force":

#prom_bootmethod = "force"

#prom_loadfile = "test/yaboot"

#prom_env_bootpath = "disk"

##

## bootargs: don't change unless you know what you are doing

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

##

#prom_env_bootargs = ""

prom_env_machargs = ""

##

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

##

prom_driver_graphic = "video.x"

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

#page_table_pa = 104857600

##

## CPU Config

##

## Processor Version Register

## Defaults to 0x00088302

## Only change if you know want you are doing

##

#cpu_pvr = 0x00088302

##

## Main memory (default 128 MiB)

## must be >= 64 MiB

##

memory_size=0x20000000

##

## IO Devices

##

##

## 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 = "C:\pearpc\HD-OS-X-Panther-PREP.img"

pci_ide0_master_type = "hd"

pci_ide0_slave_installed = 0

pci_ide0_slave_image = "C:\pearpc\custom.iso"

pci_ide0_slave_type = "cdrom"

##

## Network (unavailable on windows)

##

pci_rtl8139_installed = 1

pci_rtl8139_mac = "de:ad:ca:fe:12:34"

##

## USB

##

pci_usb_installed = 1

##

## NVRAM

##

nvram_file = "nvram"

i updated 10.3 -> 10.3.3 and now network won't work, strange problem with ugrading i think

[Skywing]

i updated 10.3 -> 10.3.3 and now network won't work, strange problem with ugrading i think

aww hell, i was gonna do that when i got home, after spending almost 2 hours getting networking working once, i dont wanna do it again.

[Aiwa]

Quicktime starts faster in PearPC than it does in Windows for me.

hi hi true ;) wonder how fast pearpc will be a year from now ...

this development is sooo coool ....

[Skywing]

on another note, are there any free OSX apps that allow you to change the skin/theme?

[Kurt871]

I took some of your suggestions and disabled networking, started OS X, then shutdown OS X, then re-enabled it to see if it worked. However, PearPC still refuses to start and I get this error in the command prompt:

[TAP-WIN32]: Enumerating TAP devices...

main() caught exception: Could not locate any installed TAP-WIN32 devices.

Any ideas on how to fix?

Does anyone have a 6 or 10 Gb pre-formated image? the 3 is too small and i cant make the 6Gb bootable

[Skywing]

Does anyone have a 6 or 10 Gb pre-formated image? the 3 is too small and i cant make the 6Gb bootable

i used the one at www.pearpc.net

worked fine, didnt have to run disk utility or anything

Here is a 6 gig image

http://www.liquid-y.de/camouflagex/pearpc/...unjournaled.rar

And this is posted on Emaculation

Hello,

For your conveniance I created a Panther prepped HD image with the partitions 2 and 3 reversed, so it will be bootable after installation.

As with the others I prepared: unzip and then unrar.

Best

Bootable 3 gig image

[Fozzieb]

cheers lads, of to do a full install then

[phalanx126]

i dont know about you guys, but i'm more excited about softpear...i hope they can pull it off

[Dazzla Veteran]

Gotta be done really...

[banli]

Ok, can someone quickly help me?

I got the network mod and all that, i believe the config is all correct. but I have know idea (in 10.1) how to get networking started.

its the OS. you, me and about 5 or 6 others with 10.1 are all having the same problem. no one will confirm so far, but all the evidence looks like 10.1 has no networking support with the tap driver.

Geez Dazzla, you can do so much at the same time.. It takes a good 30-60 seconds for anything to even come up on my computer :cry:

Very Nice :)

For those of you who updated to 10.3.4 using the Software Update panel and not the combo package, what were you experiences? Any problems, and how is performance like compared to 10.3?

I updated to 10.3.3 using the combo and it hung on "Running Install Scripts", had to delete nvram to get back in.

Updated 10.3.4 using the combo, hung again on Install Scripts, had to re-install OS X this morning :sleep:

[aka JAWheat411]

Just seen this on Emaculation

I installed the 10.3.4 update and my netwrok connection went fubar....but it is fixable!

Change your config file to

pci_3c90x_installed = 0

pci_3c90x_mac = "de:ad:ca:fe:12:34"

pci_rtl8139_installed = 1

pci_rtl8139_mac = "de:ad:ca:fe:12:35"

in OS X go into network config in system preferences, under the adaptor settings configure as per the guide published on Richard Goodwin and the thread on windows networking.

However, ethernet should be available to use now!

Enjoy
