Woohoo!

I got it working! I changed some values in the config file and now it works!

Actually I set the boot method to "auto", then I played around with my slave drive files (I enabled the OS X Install CD1) and enabled the Realtek network adapter.

Then, suddenly it worked. It must be a miracle!

But I got another question regarding PearPC:

Can you adjust the RAM to 768MB RAM and what is the hex equivalent to 768?

Hopefully I helped lol

:whistle:

there ya go ..

https://www.neowin.net/forum/index.php?showtopic=167708

768(Dec) = 300(Hex)

So to get 768 megs of RAM you have to type -> memory_size=0x30000000

Okay, Beta 1 Release 2 is hot off the compiler. :cool:

- Added a Tray Icon, and PearPCFront now minimizes to the system tray

- Changed the way configuration files are generated. Instead of generating PearPC configuration files on the fly, PearPCFront now reads a template file in [installDir]\template.ppcfg. This way, you can change the way PearPCFront generates your configuration if a new feature is added and I don't release a new build quick enough :-).

- Added an "SDL" option. Since the SDL build uses text files for output (instead of outputting directly to the console), the method in which I read the output needs to change. Settings SDL to True will make the Session Log show the appropriate information.

- Added the resolution choice "Not Specified". In the SDL Build, when a resolution isn't specified, you can change resolutions on the fly :-).

- Properly associated ".ppcml" PearPCFront configuration files to PearPCFront! (Wow, InstallShield made that complicated..)

- The 'Hard Disk Creation Wizard' now works :-). Sorry about the error in the last build.

- In addition to fixing the Disk Creation, the Disk Creation no longer writes 0's on the entire image.

- 'video.x' error's have been corrected.

- "File -> Exit" now works (whoops :-P)

- "File -> Save As" now updates the file location line on the Virtual Machine page.

- Probably more fixes, but my memory is just as good as 10 year old fast page memory modules ;-).

Bedtime.. Post comments and bugs and I'll get back to you guys in the mornin ;-)

Maybe Neowin can post something in the Software Releases forum? I think it would be good for the popularity of PearPC.

This error just simple indicates that the path to your .img file is not correct..
