0 Ryan Hoffman Posted May 24, 2004 Share Posted May 24, 2004 (edited) In the 0.2pre changelog, there is this line: added RealTek-8139 network card driver by Eric Estabrooks Anyone know if this is for Win32? If yes, how do we use it :ninja: Here's my screenie to contribute :blush: Edited May 24, 2004 by Tekmaven Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Colin Holywell Posted May 24, 2004 Share Posted May 24, 2004 Anyone know if this is for Win32? Nope. No networking on windows yet. Check out the developers wiki for windows networking status. http://pearpc.sourceforge.net/wiki/index.php?Networking Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Qumahlin Posted May 24, 2004 Share Posted May 24, 2004 I tested the lastest official release (0.1.2) in Longhorn build 4074, and it was really slow. The cmd windows showed up first, but the main screen didn't even show up for a minute. (It's usually instant on XP). After that, everything seemed to slow down exponentially. I couldn't get to the Mac OSX boot screen without turning it off from boredom. I'm not complaining, just reporting the results of my limited tests. ;) LOL, your running an alpha program on an alpha OS, to try and emulate another OS :p I don't expect that to be fast anytime soon :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 amr_01 Posted May 24, 2004 Share Posted May 24, 2004 im trying to convert the 10.3.3 combo update.dmg to iso good luck with that, if you get it to work and install sucessfully, let me know what you did. i have still not figured it out. (without using nero, although someone said that didn't work either) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Colin Holywell Posted May 24, 2004 Share Posted May 24, 2004 (edited) im trying to convert the 10.3.3 combo update.dmg to iso There is a way sort of. The way I did it was I used Nero. Start a new compilation and select new CD-ROM (ISO). Then drag all the files you want to the new compilation including any DMG files. Then change the Recorder to "Image Recorder". Select burn and when the save box comes up change NRG to ISO and save it. Edited May 24, 2004 by Colin Holywell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 ATLien_0 Posted May 24, 2004 Share Posted May 24, 2004 someone told me to drag and drop into nero. but nero doesnt read dmgs and same with winiso. I tried just changing the extenstion and looking through google. No luck so far Is a dmg the unix version of an iso? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 Ryan Hoffman Posted May 24, 2004 Share Posted May 24, 2004 Would it be a very smart idea to install Linux in VMWare, and then PearPC in the Linuxed VMWare? I just wanna mess around with networking support :-P. PearPC (0.2pre) on my Athlon XP 2800+ with 512mb of RAM allocated to it runs pretty good: the mouse is slightly sluggish, apps don't launch "fast"; but in an acceptable time. I wonder how "slow" it would be running in VMWare. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 cpu killer Posted May 24, 2004 Share Posted May 24, 2004 So in Linux you can get network support? Time to remove 4051 from that E: partition and install Linux :). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 JK1150 Posted May 24, 2004 Share Posted May 24, 2004 what's the best way to transfer files w/o networking support? (i haven't finished installing 10.3, so I haven't experiemented, just wanted to know) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 phalanx126 Posted May 24, 2004 Share Posted May 24, 2004 I did what Colin Holywell said and it doesn't work, at least not for me.

0 Pootis Spencer Posted May 24, 2004 Share Posted May 24, 2004 USB is turned on in the config file. If I press F12 windows cursor dissapears so I presume the emulator takes control of it but it doesn't move the Mac cursor. I can't get past the select language screen because of this. Is there any keyboard keys I can use instead? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
