downloading it now.

[Klownicle]

Not working for me, got the HWInfo, tried setting combatibilty and doesn't work. Run-time error on trial conformation. 372, Hwinfo.ocv out of dat.e..

[g-n-t]

are you using win2k? on the site it says taht only xp is supported. i downloaded it anyway, i havent tried it yet though. im still waiting for my osx cd's to come in.

[Klownicle]

Windows Xp Professional SP2 will all updates, and drivers are all up to date :)

[Help]

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

No, if they want to exist for another 5 years they'd have to sue them.

It runs fine, but keep in mind this is slower than an iMac G3 500MHz (way slower)

One thing?s for sure, when this baby is more mature it?s going to be good... However, it?s a bit pointless (speaking in terms of productivity) running an emulated OSX on top of Windows XP if you think for a bit. But it?s good, clean f:). :)

I have access to an OSX disc, but I?ll skip this for a few months until it?s faster and better.

its not pointless at all. like i said in my previous post, my cd's are still "coming in" but if in fact it does have 80% cpu ussage, then my 2800xp w/512mb ram can outperform a mac mini 1.25ghz and 256mb ram.

it doesn't have anywhere near 80% performance.

And is it worth getting all the software you have in Windows in their corresponding Mac versions? To run them slower? No if you want to get a job done in a practical way, that was what I was saying.

[jlmodell]

lol, mines still installing.... 24 hours to go.. and it keeps rising... o_o; thank god i have my roommates comp to use to pass the time..

so tell me... how did y'all install it so quickly.... im using physical cd's.. the images failed to install on several tries so i thought it was the images fault.

[Liger]

This is weird, so it asks me for an .iso, I take my mac os x cd and now I have 2 iso files. How the heck do I join them :s

You have to remove some options! mines took 45min to install (maximum indicated was 50 min and went down to 30 min in no time and then every min were displayed more slowly)

[Shaggz]

I got past the boot up freezing.. but now it goes throuhg the bootup and gives me an error,

"CHERRY OS" "There was an error in your Profile. Press OK to get help."

MacOS isn?t free, let alone software for it! :laugh::

But I get your point. ;))

copy \b isodiscA.iso + isodiscB.iso finalisodiscC.is:p:p

hehe I just had to write that.. sue me.;);)

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.

There you go! The ONLY reason many people get the illusion of this being faster or smoother is:

redraw_interval_msec = 10

that's a VERY important setting, and will determine the whole speed of the emulation. I thought pearpc was too slow to use when I had it at like 250 or something. Now that it's at 10 on my PC, it's actually very useable with smooth animations.

for those saying this is faster, set that setting in your PearPC, and then tell me.

[parad0x]

Horrible interface, and it's not even as fast as PearPC. Anyone who pays money for this crap needs to have their head examined.

[neufuse Veteran]

it's still got pearpc markers in the freaking compiled code wtf... sitting here using DASM to disassemble it and im finding all kinda stuff PearPC code has in it also marking what it is... stupid ppl

[g-n-t]

MacOS isn?t free

585589194[/snapback]

interesting...

[Stingray]

Agreed, the interface seems uber ugly. Does it run full-screen, without the puke green toolbar?

[Stingray]

interesting...

585589229[/snapback]

Well, it comes free with a Mac if that?s what you mean... but not free to CherryOS users, I believe.

Full screen:

you missed my point:laugh::

anyway, since its illegal to install OSX on any computer not made by apple, and this IS a G4 and it IS legal, and apple includes a copy of OSX with every G4 system, technically> this should come with osx for free untill a court decides that it is illegal.

[JK1150]

cpu_pvr = 0x000c0000

is an interesting variable, in PearPC the default is: 0x00088302

what are they trying to emulate?
