0 Astra.Xtreme Posted June 16, 2004 Share Posted June 16, 2004 you're supposed to run it through command prompt and run it from the config. for example: --- cd C:\pearpc\pearpc-0.3pre ppc ppccfg_HD.txt --- Or else you can make it easier and make a .bat file. P.S - Is it just me or is the nightly build site f'ucked up right now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 stokd Posted June 16, 2004 Share Posted June 16, 2004 Hmm, weird. I've been using OS 10.3 and the 10.3.4 update popped up and I decided to do it. I had previously installed Panther and when I updated it wouldn't boot, but I decided to try again anyways. It worked, but the weird thing was, I've read everywhere that networking won't work after and you have to make changes. I never had to make any, all I did was open PearPC again after I left it overnight to update and it worked :s Would it have something to do with the version I'm using? I just thought if it does, it could be helpful to some people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 nneonneo Posted June 16, 2004 Share Posted June 16, 2004 Going back to the bridging vs. ICS thing, I have mine bridged (though it is a Internet-LAN 1 (my PC's ethernet)-LAN 3 (TAP-Win32-for PearPC) bridge, perhaps that helps?) and it works (and Safari got the 10.3.4 update at an average of 250KBps, where I get things at 400 on Firefox outside PearPC--250? thats GOOD) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 nneonneo Posted June 16, 2004 Share Posted June 16, 2004 to clarify: - I have bridged ethernet, which works. - My bridge is between LAN1 (cable) and LAN3 (TAP-Win32, PearPC) - OS X has the IP 192.168.1.105 (using a Linksys 4-Port Router, 4 IP addresses: 3 comps and PearPC) - OS X downloads at 250KBps, good for a slow emulator - Using the 0.3pre+SDL+newclock version - Using OS 10.3(.4) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 nneonneo Posted June 16, 2004 Share Posted June 16, 2004 Wow, I'm amazed at how much PearPC has improved. From 0.1, unable to run OS X to 0.3pre with a fixed clock, 30sec boot times on a 2.53GHz P4 and the ability to ACTUALLY USE IT TO SURF THE WEB... cool. BTW, I own a new 20 inch iMac with 10.3, and was using the install DVD for PearPC. (I guess that's pirating anyway though...) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Danimator Posted June 17, 2004 Share Posted June 17, 2004 Need a small favor from you PearPc users. I'm in the process of doing a Panther transformation Pack http://www.aqua-soft.org/board/index.php?act=ST&f=21&t=17277 but I need some screenies from Real Mac. I already have real Mac shots of ALL the control Panel stuff, etc..What I need is some screenies of the pop-up dialogue boxes, as many as possible, ya know , the dialogues like "are ya sure you wanna send such and such to the trash?" those kind. If you can send me some screenies (only those please, I already have everything else) of those to Danimator4@Cogeco.ca would be much appreciated. Thanx P.s. For those that are probably asking (Hey, why don't ya just install PearPc and do it yourdelf!!!???) Cuz my play pc is too old and slow to run PearPc, and I can't be installing it on my work Pc ;) Thanx All Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My guess is that you have too much RAM allocated to PearPC. You have 0x38000000 (896MB) set. Unless you have 2GB of RAM, this is probably too much. I have always had trouble when I allocate more than 256MB of RAM (1/2 of my physical RAM) Change that and change this: prom_env_machargs = "-s" to this: prom_env_machargs = "" The -s is only used for single user mode (which is comparable to safe mode on the PC) and you only use this to fix things.

0 Astra.Xtreme Posted June 17, 2004 Share Posted June 17, 2004 Just a side note. Maybe its just me, but when I edit the config to this... redraw_interval_msec = 1 It runs hella smooth. I see that some people have it set at 100 or 200 and that does you no justice. And setting it to "1" doesnt make loading times and worse either. I just figured I'd mention that. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
