0 aka JAWheat411 Posted June 1, 2004 Share Posted June 1, 2004 NO I used an image I had before. I actually had to play around with the boot method to get it to work. Will this work if I copy my other PPC files into it? Because I was using a version with fullscreen and all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 Ryan Hoffman Posted June 1, 2004 Share Posted June 1, 2004 Somehow.. this has something to do with image files. If I use my already-installed OS X image file, PearPC works. If I use a fresh one (to install OSX), it video.x errors. Awkard... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 0sit0 Posted June 1, 2004 Share Posted June 1, 2004 the SDL version seems to be working for me but only 1024x786 :( too big for my screen and my keyboard is not working well :wacko: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 sacrecow Posted June 1, 2004 Share Posted June 1, 2004 XP-RTM, what do u have in your config file for the video driver line? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Guest TwiztidOne Posted June 1, 2004 Share Posted June 1, 2004 Yes i have video.x file and i can get it running with out your front end. i am using a pre made hd img file. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 0sit0 Posted June 1, 2004 Share Posted June 1, 2004 well i have it running, is actually faster and i like it now im trying to set up networking since older versions didnt let me but automatically doesnt seem to work :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 phalanx126 Posted June 1, 2004 Share Posted June 1, 2004 how'd you get the SDL version to work...i downloaded the .exe file and the sdl.dll file is in the directory as well. when i go to command prompt to run the prgm, it does nothing. suggestions?

0 aka JAWheat411 Posted June 1, 2004 Share Posted June 1, 2004 Hmm. I am thinking maybe a moderator/admin here could create a PearPC section on the forums. Then move and split this topic. Or something. Getting crazy now with all these posts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Ryan Hoffman Posted June 1, 2004 Share Posted June 1, 2004 Yup lol. As for the weird thing, somehow the video.x error isn't the error, because all that I'm doing is running the pearpc exe file and... *Wow* Okay, my appoligies. Ya see, I knew I overlooked soemthing :-). I'm giving the config file the value "video.x", without the path too it! As a quick fix, try copying video.x to the folder with your secondary image file (i put it in the primary, it didnt work, and i put it in the pearpcfront folder and it didnt work).

0 eaglebtc Posted June 1, 2004 Share Posted June 1, 2004 WOW! The SDL-0003 version works GREAT! It does feel faster now, but quicktime movies are still slow. The Real-Time Clock issue needs to be addressed as well. Great job nilss! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remove it or comment it out and it'll run. Beware. In Windows the keymap is messed up, it's impossible to type in the virtual Mac. The shift key is G or something, all mixed up :laugh: Edit: Heh, I'm a slow typer on 56k.
