CherryOS
« on: 10 March 2005, 17:03 »
The fog has lifted and a new emulator has seen the light of day. But who wants and needs it?

What, they've added some more obfuscation to the PearPC code and put it in a pretty box ;)

PS: Moved to apps.

It will be a good opportunity for people to try out OS X and see its qualities, and eventually switch to the Mac. But frankly, the PPC architecture being much more complex than the x86 architecture, I don't hold high hopes that PPC emulators will ever be fast enough to be usable, or at least close to VirtualPC. So I don't know whether people will get a good impression of OS X.

For the price of CherryOS and the hardware needed to get a remotely usable speed, one might as well buy a used iMac.

You're right actually, one would be as well buying a mac mini.

It IS just a modified PearPC...

There's tons of proof, I'll get a few links soon...

I'm often asked why I hate Microsoft - "What did they ever do to you?". Well, I'll tell you. They made dodgy programs and standards which have wasted hundreds of hours of my time involving lost work in crashes and stupidity.

The PearPC people have managed to compile a thousand times more evidence that CherryOS ripped them off than SCO ever published.

And PearPC only has binaries to work from.
