you atleast have to make a profile, this is the file it puts those settings into, such as where the img is, and redraw, things like that.

Can anyone confirm that they have this file who didn't use a ppc image in their CherryOS install? I never used PPC but I am using CherryOS right now and I do not have this file.

Problem, for me at least.

When I go to install Panther 10.3, it gets to the language select screen or whatever, but nothing moves, I noticed that when it was "Preparing installation" the animated progress bar was NOT moving, when I alt tabbed out of the program, it start moving, and the cursor in CherryOS was animated (the busy animation) , same thing when it was booting, only when i alt tabbed out did I see the circular booting animation below the apple symbol, i cant click anything in the cherryos window, it doesnt respond, cant even move the mouse, if I go into CherryOS and click on the finder and alt-tab out real quick, I'll notice that the mouse jumps and moves to the button i pushed and opens it, when I click back in, again, unresponsive, keyboard doesnt work either...what's going on? :blink:

:yes:

Atleast it makes everything point click and go.

PearPC was a pain in the arse to set up originally...

That isn't the point. The point is that it's using open source code in a closed source program and charging for it. That's a big no no.

Okay I have the file ASTROAMATRO now. It is created right after you create a profile and start it (doesn't require OS X to be installed), and here are it's content:

pci_ide0_master_installed = 1
pci_ide0_master_image = "c:\CherryOS_HD\toxicfume\hdimage.img"
pci_ide0_master_type = "hd"
pci_3c90x_installed = 0
pci_3c90x_mac = "DE:AD:CA:FE:12:34" 
pci_usb_installed = 1
nvram_file = "nvram" 
pci_ide0_slave_installed = 1
pci_ide0_slave_image = ""
 pci_ide0_slave_type = "cdrom"
prom_bootmethod = "auto" 
redraw_interval_msec = 10
 cos_start_resolution = "1280x1024x32"
prom_driver_graphic ="C:\DOCUME~1\xxxxxxx\LOCALS~1\Temp\ifrs_gkl.tmp"
memory_size = 0x20000000
pci_rtl8139_installed = 0
pci_rtl8139_mac = "DE:AD:CA:FE:12:35" 
key_toggle_mouse_grab = "F6" 
cpu_pvr = 0x000c0000

Familiar? ;) busted.

Apple technically can't sue CherryOS as the software is designed to emulate the PPC architecture. It's sole purpose is not to run OS X, and in fact OS X is not distributed with CherryOS.

Also for those of you saying Apple needs to buy up CherryOS, where in the hell have you been? PearPC are the true innovators here. Some of you may not think it's a rip, but I sure as hell do.

Don't you all think it would be one hell of a coincidence that a company devoted entirely to video streaming, encoding, etc., also has the knowledge to design a PPC emulator with roughly the same performance of PearPC (the first of it's kind), at around the same time? They miss their original release dates and the build sent to Wired some time back was PROVEN to have PearPC code in it. The coincidence is just WAY too large if you ask me. There were no PPC emulators until now, and all of a sudden we have TWO that seem to work the same way and perform the same way? Coincidence? No.

didnt the author of cherryos already admit it to be being based on pearpc code???

585588209[/snapback]

i don't ever remember them admitting to it, even though everyone knows it is pearpc. besides, it's not based off it, it obviously is pearpc with a GUI frontend.

ROFL!!!....BUSTED!!!...;)......might as well go and get CPP and install it there....and think about it...if they truly made a great great emulating software....would they charge $50 bucks for it?....can someone remind me how much Vitual PC was again?....:laugh:...exactly my point...

Personally I think PearPC should get a lawyer and get some sort of legal ball rolling, also I won't be using CherryOS (sounds like a cereal, Cherry O's) as after my experience with PearPC I bought a Mac of my own. You can't beat the real thing.

Ok, no matter how many times I launch my profile it will always say.."There was an error in your profile, press OK to get help." Even if you press OK nothing happens, I tried Windows 2000 compat. mode but that just crashed the whole program. Im using XPSP1 Professional.

Any ideas people?

I guess I'll wait until the program becomes a little more developed.

Hmmm maybe...

But Apple users seem to be the target market.

    • Valve finally confirms Steam Machine prices, starts at $1049 for 512GB option

      Time to start going to the local church and play Bingo for a while.
    • NVIDIA announces 35 new AI HPC supercomputers across Europe

      By Fiza Ali · Posted

      NVIDIA announces 35 new AI HPC supercomputers across Europe by Fiza Ali NVIDIA has announced that 35 AI high-performance computing (HPC) supercomputers are planned to open throughout Europe this year. This marks what the company describes as the largest single-year expansion of AI infrastructure in the history of the continent. These new systems, unveiled at ISC High Performance 2026, will be placed at a number of national supercomputing centres, AI factories, and research institutes to provide advanced computing resources to more than three million researchers. Describing AI, NVIDIA founder and CEO Jensen Huang stated, "AI is the new instrument of science, and Europe is building the infrastructure to put it in the hands of millions of researchers." Built on NVIDIA's Blackwell and Hopper architectures, the new systems will support research in climate science, healthcare, clean energy, quantum computing, and other scientific fields. Among the major projects are the Barcelona Supercomputing Center's MareNostrum 5 AI upgrade, BavariaAI's Blue Swan platform in Germany, Italy's IT4LIA AI factory, Germany's HammerHAI project, and Sweden's Mimer AI Factory. The Barcelona Supercomputing Center plans to expand MareNostrum 5 with NVIDIA GB300 NVL72 and GB200 NVL4 systems. In total, the BSC expects to deliver up to 20 exaflops of AI training performance and 33 exaflops of AI inference performance. This increased computational capability will support research efforts related to climate modelling, biotechnology, energy systems, etc. Furthermore, as part of the IT4LIA project, more than 8,000 GPUs, each based on NVIDIA’s GB200 NVL4 architecture, will be used in Italy. This represents one of the largest AI factory initiatives announced to date. Additionally, the Blue Swan platform from BavariaAI will include about 1,000 GPUs to help develop multimodal AI models for use in the medical field, robotics, and various areas of scientific research. NVIDIA also emphasized in the announcement how rapidly growth of accelerated computing usage is taking place within both energy and climate-related research. The company said Siemens Energy uses NVIDIA-powered technologies to significantly accelerate the process of designing and simulating hydrogen-capable gas turbines. Using those same acceleration technologies, Siemens was able to reduce simulation time by up to 77 percent. The company also highlighted several quantum computing initiatives across Europe. CINECA, EuroHPC, and Pasqal are integrating a quantum processing unit into Italy's CINECA supercomputing centre using NVIDIA's CUDA-Q platform. Meanwhile, researchers at Germany's Julich Supercomputing Centre recently simulated a universal 50-qubit quantum computer on the JUPITER supercomputer. The announcement demonstrates Europe's continued commitment to building out its infrastructure supporting AI and supercomputing as governments, research organizations, and technology companies compete to build out their respective computing capacities and secure their positions in advanced scientific research.

    • It's about to become harder to turn off your Samsung TV, thanks to Instagram

      By Aditya Tiwari · Posted

      It's about to become harder to turn off your Samsung TV, thanks to Instagram by Aditya Tiwari Meta announced that its Instagram for TV app has arrived on Samsung TVs in the US as part of its latest expansion, giving users one more way to scroll through Reels. The social media giant often comes under scrutiny for the "addictiveness" of its features, which leads people to spend excessive time on the platform. Interestingly, Instagram boss Adam Mosseri described spending 16 hours on the platform as "problematic use" but not "clinical addiction." Mosseri also compared scrolling on Instagram to binge-watching a show on Netflix. Instagram for TV is now available on Samsung TV models released in 2020 or later. The app is already available on Amazon Fire TV and Google TV in the US, which together account for the majority of connected TV devices. The company said it will test several new features to improve the living room and family experience while using Instagram on the big screen. Watching vertical videos on a big screen isn't something many would be excited about. Probably that's why Meta is testing a dedicated home for horizontal videos. Creators will get the opportunity to design content for TV screens and get more ways to reach audiences, according to Meta. If you found an interesting Reel while doomscrolling on your phone, you'll be able to cast it to your TV. The feature is available for testing on Instagram for TV on Google TV and Amazon Fire TV, and it will also support videos from the Saved tab. Instagram for TV will be testing Channels organized around user interests, across genres such as comedy and sports, as well as content from favorite creators. Moreover, you can watch Stories on your TV. While Instagram is known for short-form videos, it's knocking on more doors to keep the audience hooked. The company said it's exploring new content formats for the big screen, including long-form creator content to cover topics in detail, episodic series to build suspense across multiple episodes, and creator live sessions on TV. All of the new updates put Instagram in competition with established giants like YouTube (and Netflix), which already have a robust presence on the big screen. In recent updates, Instagram added the ability to write an individual caption for each carousel image, manually re-order posts, and a paid version of the app.

      I know RAM and storage prices are high right now, but I think it would have been better to have 1TB as the base level storage, especially as it's supposed to be for gaming. Plus a 2.5gbe ethernet port rather than only 1gbe.
