59 hours to go before it is installed. What a joke.

:no:

can i set windows xp to shutdown in 2 hours automaticly and let the mac ps x setup just continue? or do i have to stay here all the time and wait till it is installed?

[Marku$]

thats a fat lie. it works flawlessly on a clean system (as everyone else has stated here so far)

(edit: works means that it actually starts. i didnt say that it was successful booting panther, or that it was fast while running it)

what you are claiming is that the software wont even start on your three computers. the little sidenote about you formatting one of them is a more obvious lie, or the formatted computer just doesnt have what it takes. who formats a computer just to try out cherryOS? it mustve been one which you didnt care about, which means that its specs are lower than the requirements (which means that it likely wont work because of that)

anyways, im sure that out of the 20-some-odd-thousand people who tried it out, maybe a handful got the same error you did. maybe.

and to end on a stern note: your comment was repulsive, unnecessary, and downright rude.

Networking works fine on my machine. You need to do as the readme says in regards to ICS and assigning an ipaddress to the virtual Cherry OS network adapter.

You also need to enable networking in your profile.

Will post a screenshot when I get home from work. :ninja:

Yes same here. Just follow the Cherry OS readme file regarding the networking and you should be fine.

can i just set to automaticaly shut down in 2 hours? and leave as it is?

[amr_01]

^ no, atleast i have never seen any options for that

[leovanham]

i mean set windows xp to shutdown in 2 hours? and it then closes pearpc automaticly

[amr_01]

in command prompt "SHUTDOWN -s -t 7200" should do it. but pearpc might not be done, the time might not be correct.

[Post-It Note]

There's no problem leaving your computer on overnight. It won't damage it.

anyone know the fix to the erorr that tells you to restart the install?

[wkkschb]

anyone tried the cherry on a non-english windows xp sp2 because my korean xp does not seem to work with the cherry

it installs then when i run the program it comes with an error - the one many had but fixed by changning the compatibility to win 2000 but i tried but still seems to not work on my laptop

i use a centrino 1.5 512mb

anyone have solution?

[Prosidius]

I dunno, how some of your installs took hours. Mine took 45 minutes and I'm on a 1.7 GHZ Athlon XP w/ 512MB ram.

[Stingray]

How can they ask for 50 bucks in such a primitive stage of development? Furthermore, it?s a PearPC ripoff...

[NeoXY]

:no:

ouch....that's brutal...

[Harrison H.]

Why did it go black when i walked away.. Came back its black.. It had only 3 min left...

[Dr.Jones]

Posting from safari in Mac OS X here ! bypassed the install with my PearPC .img because i'm a warez monkey

The speed (or lack of) is bearable.

For me its about 50% faster than PearPC 0.3.1 was

It feels like using a 333 MHz with 96 MB ram in Windows XP

I have a Athlon XP 2200+ with 512 MB ram

Faster than PearPC ?

yes

80% of my 2200+ equivalent to a PowerPC ?

oh no

worth 50$ ?

not with this speed. I'm not saying they're stupid and shouldd make it faster, because I guess this is just as much as an emulator can do, espacially from a x86 to a G4.

excuse the typos, the text that I type appears like 3 seconds after I type it

[Mike Douglas]

According to the PearPC developer's mailing list, the guy who created the AltiVec (G4) patch is already contacting the EFF to ask for legal advice since they have used his code without permission.

Good news :) Maybe I'll make a donation later tonight

[g-n-t]

we should make it against the rules to even discuss this piece of crap on neowin. and put at a message on teh front page saying that it violates copyright laws. noone should be paying these ******s anything.

Apple can kiss my royal arse.

lol, funniest post from whole thread

[DrunknMunky Veteran]

Ok so really this is aimed at devolpers and not for everyday use? Or people interested in buying a mac? Sounds like good news as it could boost sales for Apple, but I don't think they will be too happy. Either bought over by Apple or shut down just like Y'z Dock was...

Interesting piece of software though, I had never heard of it :alien:.

BTW any ideas if Tiger will run on it? Or is it only designed to run Panther?

It's been taking a looooooooong time at "Preparing Base System Part 2"...

[Rerven]

It takes much more time that I expect.... It's soooo poor.

"So, Arben finally released his "emulator". Now he's also ripping off OpenVPN's license as well, and from what I hear he's also ripped off the explorer application for his drag/drog feature. Amazing, simply amazing. You'd think that Arben has something pathological about his lying, wouldn't you? Anyway, just for ****s and giggles I decided to put together a Visual Basic 6.0 app that does exactly the same thing that Arben does, using his CherryOS (read: PearPC with all the ppc references replaced with cos) replaced. Grab the Exe and the source here: You'll need to have CherryOS in C:\CherryOS and also you'll have to place the "hijack" file in C:\CherryOS as well. The hijack file is just his doctored ppcconf file. Modify it to fit your configuration. Get my version of CherryBS here:

http://www.artworxinn.com/alex/CherryBS.zip

Finally, have I mentioned how I discovered that Arben has simply replaced all the meaningful <error> and <warning> messages with simply that and oopps::? Pretty retarded. In what little time I had, I restored there meaning and discovered that CherryOS still boots up exactly the same way, with MAC/IO errors (specifically mine from my sound code) included. Now its personal!"
