Run OSX on x86
« Reply #60 on: 6 June 2004, 06:14 »
Update...I just got hold of PearPC 0.1.2 and OSX 10.3 today  

I have a Pentium 4 2.8Ghz, and the emulation is indeed rather slow, but usable.  It takes about five minutes to boot the image.  Moving windows around and minimizing/maximizing lags somewhat as well.  However, I can use it without getting a headache.  ;)   I found I could speed up Finder a crapload by clicking on that oval-shaped thing in the right-hand corner (lol...what's it called?) so that it looks like the old Finder, and using new windows each time.  There's no networking support for Windows yet, so I can't test out Safari.

But I must say, OSX is quite an amazing package.  It's like the classic OS with an opening to the internals, thanks to the terminal and Activity Monitor.     Just one thing...how do I make the Unix hierarchy appear in Finder?  :confused:

Still, emulating a G3, standard graphics, no USB, etc., I wouldn't recommend any less than my current CPU right now.     It's early yet, so PearPC may speed up in the future.

I just got a BSOD in Win2k while running this.  UNEXPECTED_KERNEL_MODE_TRAP.  :mad:

I tried same as you WMD, but on Linux. I got it to install but the installation wouldn't boot.
I gave up and took my 3GB disk space back.

May give it a try again when it has progressed a little. I have some got nice screenies from using it though

Hey, does anyone have copies of PearPC 0.1.2, Mac OS X, and Virtual PC?

I couldn't get it to boot either, until I used a config frontend program from the PearPC site.  However, it's only for win32.  :(

why do you PC guys bash us with all of these myths?? Fact is , OS X can do almost everything that you guys can! I have a linux PC at home AND a mac running panther, and i would choose the mac. Plus, macs come with loads of free stuff, such as tony hawk's pro skater 4, none of those demo versions that the windows boxes come with.

Why in blue blazes would you want to do that?

Was expecting that reply.     I'm much a Linux/Unix guy and I want to play around.  It's only an emulated version, so I don't mind if I mess it up.  ;)

vmac ppc is cool.  I have OS 1.1 running on it.  It is only for osx as far as I know, and I had to find a rom file to get it to work.  I found that in os 1.1 if you highlight the trash can or open it, then click on the menu bar and it will crash with the all too common "sorry, a system error has occored..."  I am not sure if this is because of the emulator, or if os 1.1 really did that.

Now what would be neat is to run OS X emulated under windows with PearPC, which is emulated on a Mac with VirtualPC. It would be horribly, ridiculously slow, but just think about how cool that would be....
