0 Emon Posted May 31, 2004 Share Posted May 31, 2004 i have 512 ram, how much can i allocate and how do i do it? PearPC RAM settings HOWTO 1) Open the Windows Calculator .. 2) Go to View .. 3) select "scientific" .. 4) make sure its at "Dec" .. 5) Now type whatever amount of memory you want .. 6) Click on "Hex", memorize that Hex value .. 7) Open your PearPC config file and go to the line where it says #memory_size=0x8000000 8) Remove that # sign and type that Hex value over 80 For example: 256(Dec) = 100(Hex) So to get 256 megs of RAM you have to type -> memory_size=0x10000000 384(Dec) = 180(Hex) So to get 384 megs of RAM you have to type -> memory_size=0x18000000 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Choose the HD and when OS X boots up u will see the 2nd CD on the desktop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 klop Posted May 31, 2004 Share Posted May 31, 2004 Dont flame me if its already been asked but its hard to find somthing in this thread. I installed the first CD PearPC closed after he finished. I restarted and tells me theres no bootable partition. I tried PearPC bootfix (http://s87840517.onlinehome.us/fixboot.html) changing the prom_env_machargs = "-s" but it doesnt seems to work... Is there a way to fix this? I dont want to use darwin. :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 Ryan V Posted May 31, 2004 Share Posted May 31, 2004 How do you think it would fare on my 1.4 gHz with 256mb of ram. And yes I read about the emulation being 1/40 of what it should actually be. Will I get at least sub-par performance or usable enough to use? :shifty: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Rob2687 Posted May 31, 2004 Share Posted May 31, 2004 right now i dont think its usable enough to use for anyone :/ its slower than my Apple II with os 7.1 and im running ppc on a p4c 3ghz, 512 ddr400 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
