0 ATLien_0 Posted May 27, 2004 Share Posted May 27, 2004 as fast as speed i dont think it'll change the speed at which u run this emulator i think that all depends on what spec computer u have i just wanna know more processor values, 1 for looks and 2 so that its not a G3 because they r kinda old What do i need to do for it to say g5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 offroadaaron Posted May 27, 2004 Share Posted May 27, 2004 mate that is what im trying to find out myself i have already made it run with 512 ram and now i just wanna make it a g5 anyone with some values that will make this happen?? :blink: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Fozzieb Posted May 27, 2004 Share Posted May 27, 2004 could you not change from explorer.exe to ppc.bat in the reg (kind of like litestep does to load itself)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 ATLien_0 Posted May 27, 2004 Share Posted May 27, 2004 yea i wish they could come out with a number soon and a way so this program doesnt use 100% of my cpu im killing it everytime i run this. Its a pentium 4 1.8ghz so its not that old Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 Jackalo Posted May 27, 2004 Share Posted May 27, 2004 SoftPear [http://softpear.sourceforge.net] would be the project to follow if you're interested in replacing Windows all together. If you prefer a Virtual Machine (like I do), then PearPC is the stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 Menge Posted May 27, 2004 Share Posted May 27, 2004 What do i need to do for it to say g5 technically, you cant. for quite a few reasons: 1) the G5 is 64bit. PearPC emulates a 32Bit PowerPC Processor 2) You'd need to the the 64Bit enabled version of OS X in order to run it. 3) there are missing instructions that exist in the G5 and don't exist in PearPC. IF you managed to get it to say G5, it prolly wouldn't run OS X (OS X wouldn't run for sure unless u had the 64bit enabled version) nor anything else due to the lack of those.

0 ATLien_0 Posted May 27, 2004 Share Posted May 27, 2004 hehe well i just installed 10.3.4 and it says my network card is unpluged the config file has a 1 next to it what to do go back to 10.3.3? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Menge Posted May 27, 2004 Share Posted May 27, 2004 @offroadaaron: G4 is 32bit. BUT still the G4 has instrcutions that aren't emulated in PearPC @willvg: well... i'm sorry but you're wrong. the G4 is 32 bits. the G5 is 64 bits. and it was also CLEARLY stated by apple @ G5's release that the regular OS X does NOT run on the G5. G5s come with a special build of OS X that runs only on them. Edit: @willvg, on your netoworking issue, all you need to do is remove the card from the config (just comment), boot osx, then re-add the card and boot osx again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Jackalo Posted May 27, 2004 Share Posted May 27, 2004 no i have a friend that has a g4 and g5 both r 32bit Um... The G5 is 64bit. Hate to burst your bubble. http://www.apple.com/g5processor/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 ATLien_0 Posted May 27, 2004 Share Posted May 27, 2004 i tried that when i disabled it did i actually have to go into system preferences.
