thats weird, you sure you put the partitions in right order?

#:type name lenght( size )

1:Apple_partition_map Apple63 @ 1

2:Apple_HFS Apple_HFS_Untitled_2 602870 @ 262208 (2.9G)

3:Apple_Freebsp0+@ 64

4:Apple_Free0 +@ 6 290912

after this try to deslect you cd-rom before you boot!

i don't have

ohh, insanekiwi :punch: you do that by following THIS guide, you have to boot in a different modus, then change the order of the partitions, just follow the guide and you'll get it ;)

#prom_env_bootargs = ""

#prom_env_machargs = "-s"

prom_env_machargs = ""

pci_ide0_slave_installed = 1

pci_ide0_slave_image = "E:\temp\pearpc\iso\OSX_CD1.iso"

#pci_ide0_slave_image = "/dev/cdrom"

pci_ide0_slave_type = "cdrom"

thats from my config. i set it up like this. still....no bootable partition and no command line prompt will appears.

try this :

#prom_env_bootargs = ""

#prom_env_machargs = "-v"

prom_env_machargs = "-s"

pci_ide0_slave_installed = 0

pci_ide0_slave_image = "E:\temp\pearpc\iso\OSX_CD1.iso"

#pci_ide0_slave_image = "/dev/cdrom"

pci_ide0_slave_type = "cdrom"

try this :

#prom_env_bootargs = ""

#prom_env_machargs = "-v"

prom_env_machargs = "-s"

pci_ide0_slave_installed = 0

pci_ide0_slave_image = "E:\temp\pearpc\iso\OSX_CD1.iso"

#pci_ide0_slave_image = "/dev/cdrom"

pci_ide0_slave_type = "cdrom"

same error/picture as i posted above.

0 bootable partiton(s) found.

EDIT: now even my "change cd" button disappeared. argh. i also took a premade config and just changed the path to the dmg and the iso. still nto working.....grrrrrrr :angry:

Edited by insanekiwi

do i need to download any OSX_CD1.iso or something? i already have HD-OS-X-Panther-PREP_bootable.img.

i just mounted the .img with daemon tools, selected the drive on isobuster, extract image > extract raw, save it, but it says "Cannot open AVI"

help please.

Edited by pander
Getting the same problem, too. I get an error message saying that it cannot find a bootable parition.

Also, the rar file for the BIN2ISO is corrupted. Does anybody else have the .rar?

its not corrupt ..I just tried it ,, and for that booting error ..did you read the updated guide ?

you don't need to extract raw, etc if the file is already in iso form. and you're supposed to have everything under the correct dirs as he shows (C:\pearpc\). you can change directories in the ppccfg_HD file you download from his site. I'm referring to the site first listed in this thread btw :p

If Apple would just plain release OSX for the x86 system, like Linux. You can buy or download x86, or Power PC versions of Linux, there would be no need for a guide to get OSX running on a x86 system. Maybe they will get the hint now!!.

What hint would they get? No one sane is going to use PearPC as a solid solution...atleast not for a while.

apple will be out of business so fast if they released the mac os for x86. their OS is basically what's selling their hardware for so much money, so if they made their OS compatable with x86, their hardware would be useless, not making them any money, therefore losing a load of business.

    • Nobody is buying a PS5 only for playing Until Dawn 2. Their loss.
    • If you actually used it instead of responding like a petulant child you might be surprised. I switched from Google some time ago and have been very satisfied.
    • I am one of the first people to use the DXVK technology. In the channel below you can see some videos that I have made using this technology, including Assassin's Creed Odyssey. https://www.youtube.com/@nahum7995/videos Assassin's Creed Odyssey experienced several bugs and technical issues during its first months after release. It launched with its own fair share of funny but frustrating glitches. I ran it on DXVK 9 days after its release and I played it for many hours but didn't see a single significant bug on Linux. Assassin's Creed Odyssey is widely celebrated for pushing the franchise in bold new directions and specifically for nailing several elements better than any other title in the AC series: Player Choice & Branching Narrative, The Mercenary & Cultist System, Mythological Integration, Overpowered Combat Abilities, Open World Exploration But what I'm trying to point out is that this game wasn't quite playable on most windows systems, until a few months after its release when most of the bugs were fixed. However, on Linux it ran completely flawless from day one, although DXVK had seen little development and refinement at the time. What do you think the situation will be in 2026 now that most bugs and glitches of DXVK have been completely eliminated? This is information from Google about these situations that I am quoting. In many cases, using DXVK (a translation layer that converts DirectX 9, 10, or 11 into Vulkan) can result in more stable frame times and higher performance than native Windows rendering. This happens primarily by bypassing driver overhead and multithreading draw calls that were previously restricted to a single CPU core. Older APIs (like DirectX 9 and 11) are largely single-threaded on the CPU side. DXVK translates these calls to Vulkan, which is highly multi-threaded. This reduces CPU-bound stuttering on weaker processors. In certain cases, GPU manufacturers (especially AMD) have significantly better and more modern Vulkan drivers than they do for legacy DirectX. Vulkan gives developers—and in this case, the translation layer—closer control over how resources are held in VRAM. This can prevent micro-stutters and sudden frame drops during chaotic gameplay. Yes, certain games, particularly older DirectX 9 to 11 titles, can run with fewer crashes on DXVK than on native Windows. By intercepting DirectX draw calls and translating them into the modern, highly efficient Vulkan API, DXVK bypasses the limitations and poor driver support that cause instability in aging game engines. PlayStation 1, PlayStation 2 and PlayStation 3 can be easily and perfectly emulated on Linux. In fact, modern Linux emulators offer high-performance upscaling, widescreen patches, and automatic controller mapping out of the box.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                 PlayStation 1/2/3 games look drastically better on Linux thanks to resolution upscaling. Furthermore, it is also a fact that you cannot play many fun games on Windows either, isn't it? - The Nintendo Switch has an extensive library of exclusive games. - PlayStation has an extensive library of exclusive games - Android has "mobile-exclusive" games, meaning they are exclusive to mobile devices (iOS and Android) and aren't available on PC or consoles. And finally, it is also the case that in the next five years there will be games that millions of people will say you absolutely must play and that they want to play this specific game that released a few days ago. However, the other side of this story is that currently, absolutely no one cares that they cannot play these upcoming games right now.
