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.

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)

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.

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

585589240[/snapback]

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.

    • Microsoft confirms Windows 11 26H2 to finally get one of the most requested features

      If you don't care to read what I said, then you prove my point. Maybe written media is beyond your attention span. Titles are not summaries my friend.

      Nobody asked... in fact, I said "I don't care about political leanings"

      TLDR. Here is a far better title (just a basic example): Windows 11 26H2 to allow disabling Web search results

      Restore will get my vote, only if to see if things are any different, doubt it though but Labour and Conservatives too out of touch and same thing over and over and over…, Lib Dem who?

      There is nothing wrong with this title. You have completely missed the plot when it comes to "clickbait." The issue was never that a title tries to entice you to click, that is how titles have worked for over 100 years. The issue is when the title subverts expectations, getting you to click expecting something that isn't there. The classic clickbait example is "Boyfriend caught cheating, what happens next will shock you," then what happened next is the girlfriend was upset...which is probably the least shocking outcome imaginable. If sounds like what you want is for the titles to be a collection of 10-word summaries that you can skim, get the just of the story, and only click if you want more details. That is not, never has been, and never will be what titles are. You can go all the way back to print newspapers during the great depression and see the same thing. The newspaper was locked in a vending machine, all you can see is the headline, you choose to put in 5¢ to buy the paper and read the rest if you want. Those headlines were written in a way to sell the paper, not just to provide a summery. Here are two actual headlines from that time, "Wall Street Lays an Egg," or "Stocks Hit Bottom?" Maybe you'd say something like "it was wrong then and it's still wrong now." Okay, fine opinion to have, but it isn't like Neowin is doing something unjurnalistic, they are just following the age-old standards for written media.
