No, if Apple sues, it's because CherryOS is in breach of OSX's EULA, which specifically states that OSX can only legally be run on Apple hardware (or at least that's what I've been told...sue me if I'm wrong).  CherryOS is like the Napster of the emulation world.

By like Napster you mean like with Napster the functionality was already being done, better, and all it does is make it possible for N00Bs to do it?

if apple is smart, they'll buy up cherryos just like Microsoft bought up Connectix.

45 seconds! the emacs at my school took almost 2 minutes!

In that case there's something seriously wrong with those eMacs because mine boots in 20 seconds. :blink:

umm, sorry to clutter the thread with a question.. but how should this install.. i've installed cherryOS.. and a command prompt window popped up which says

"Updating drivers for cosdrv from c:\windows\system32\cheryOSNT.inf ."

... am i supposed to just sit here (its been 10 minutes)

[KeR]

the thing is Apple prohibits the installation of OSX on anything other then a Mac.

Good point there. Obviously CherryOS has some smart brains thinking for them. Seeing that they can pull this off and have.

[Marku$]

I agree. Apple could sell this product for whatever they wanted to and developers would buy it to develop or test software. I mean, other then that, what other purpose does this really provide? It is faster then what I thought it would be, but honestly, it isn't fast enough to use full time, just like other emulators (VMware Workstation, Virtual PC, etc.). It might even get more people to buy Apple Computers, who knows?

Just click X ;)

apple wanting ipods to run on PCs is a lot different than them wanting OSX to run on PCs. If you could run osx on a PC, there would be no need to buy apple hardware... now there are 2 trains of thought here... if they did release a PC version of OSX, you would have people who are devoted to buying macs, continue to buy macs and PC users who would never buy a mac really thinking about the software and PC/people on the fence buying it outright. The only downside i see to this is that a lot of mac people might becoming... hmm whats the word- disillusioned. remember ive heard apple being referred to as a cult- and for a lot of people its an exclusive club that low budget minded PC people just are not allowed to come near! ;) hehehehehe

Apple don't have a leg to stand on since CherryOS emulates the G4 processor and not MacOSX you could install Linux or any operating system that can run on x84 hardware which is not limited to Apple since Sparc are also creating G4 processors which you can buy and use in your Macs.

I know that some people claim rip, or whatever. Who cares?

585587598[/snapback]

If you'd like to know if it's going to be much faster than PearPC (as the developer claims it to be), you should care.

If it's a rip, it will have comparable performance, if it's what they claim it to be, it'll be almost godly.

If you're at all interested in running this software, why should you not care about that?

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.

Now that's interesting. :)

It would be great if this one wasn't a modified rip, and actually something real good. It would add a very nice and useful competition (for us) in the software PPC emulation area. :)

no no no.....fine....Cheery showed all of us but it's still a long way from being a stable useable OS emulator to use 24/7....

[Rob2687]

A certain BT thing which may or may not have any relevance to this thread just jumped a ton of peers. :whistle:

[icecream]

I also got an error (win xp sp2) but I fixed it by making the exe file compatible with win 2000.

ATTENTION ALL CHERRYOS BELIEVERS, PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING. OPEN C:\CHERRYOS\ASTROAMATRO. THIS IS A PEARPC CONFIG FILE. IF YOU CHANGE THE LINE prom_bootmethod = "auto" to prom_bootmethod = "select" YOU WILL SEE PEARPC.

Taken from PearPC.net. I'm at school right now, so anyone wanna confirm? :blink:
