In pearPC even in the cursors you could see that is was lagging or in the status bars as well .. it took several hours to install OSX with it .. with this one I was already into the install rather quickly and the cursor animations were very smooth, although when I would click on the title bar you could see it was slightly laggy, and also if you move your mouse really really quickly you can see it lags slightly .. A hell of a lot better than my experience than PearPC so far.

I'm gonna see if I can get my PearPC image to work on this .. then maybe I won't have to reinstall OSX ..I'll post some screenies if it works

Just running the installer now, I'm pretty sure I can do this legitimately since I have three licenses for Panther, yet only one Mac currently.

I just noticed you can't change the install path. How annoying.

And jesus, this interface is hideous. The icons are far too small for the toolbar, and the images used on the dialogs look like Microsoft Clipart. Not to mention that the green gradient isn't wide enough to cover my 1600x1200 resolution.

I'll take a series of screenshots from install to first usage, and post them later. Right now its taking rather a long time to get past the bootscreen, and find my Panther disc.

EDIT: It doesn''t seem to like DVD discs of Panther, so it seems I'm going to have to resort to installing Jaguar first, then using my upgrade discs. Le sigh.

What CherryOS is not (Disclaimer)

CherryOS will not turn your PC into an Apple computer. Apple computers are some of the fastest com-puters on the market today, and many of the applications designed for Macs require a robust hardware architecture. A software emulator can never recreate the performance of the native Apple hardware. If you are thinking of using Apple video editing software on your PC, CherryOS is not your solution.

What CherryOS is:

CherryOS is the easiest to install PowerPC G4 emulator available. The G4 emulation is fast enough for you to be able to install Apple?s OS X software onto your Windows PC. While your PC will never function as fast as an Apple computer, you will be able to do many of the day-to-day functions such as browse the Internet and receive e-mail.

    • Hey Google, these are the Gemini features I want in 2026

      I used to use Google assistant, not on the phone i have now, but about 7 years ago, then I decided it did not really do anything for me. Because i had Echo units over the house I added Alexa to the phone to control stuff and that is how it is now. Not the new Alexa+, as that is not really available in the U.K yet apart from on new units and to be honest, not interested in it. I went though the stage years ago of using voice to do text and call people, quicker to do it using my hands. I had a muck about with Siri on my Mac when I first got it, but not having a microphone permanently plugged in makes it a pain. I know it can be used by text. Siri like Apple AI is disabled on my Mac and will stay disabled.
    • It's about to become harder to turn off your Samsung TV, thanks to Instagram

      By ad47uk · Posted

      I have a TV, but it is not used for normal linear TV, only streaming and it is not a Samsung and the best bit is, I don;'t and never have had a Instagram account. The only thing I have to do with Meta is Faceache and I only keep that just for the messaging part.

      But building your own.. what? You can't build anything like the Steam Machine yourself. Even trying to get close costs a good deal more. Even just the CPU cooler in their price comparison is as big as the entire Steam Machine. If you want a regular gaming PC, then by all means, build that. If you want a a small console-like PC for the living room that is good for gaming, I'm not sure what else is a better deal. In the GN review, they only mentioned a small form factor Dell, which is like twice the size and hundreds of dollars more expensive.

      Those are some popular multiplayer games. But hardly "all". Just those that don't work on Linux currently due to specific anti-cheat implementations. I think it's also fair to point out the literally thousands of games that don't work on the PS5. And it's not locked at 1080p. That's the default, which you can change.
