Any Idea about these screenshot i found on the net?

It could be fake, and why I believe that is because the image is so horribly stretched (the "OSX" image that's being 'emulated'.)

santiago, i think it's a fake...it says it's emulating 10.3, but if you look at the menu's the windows have tabs, which panther doesn't have. panther has the little pill thingies instead.

Hi there, i got a couple of problems since last 0.3 pre,

At first, when i launch ppc with the keycompose option, it loads and stop for about 2/3sec and the dos console says [iO/PROM] <Error> currently b0rken in promboot.cc line 1012

But that's ok if i comment the line with a #.

After that when my ppc load successfuly, my mouse get very very slooow to finally crash with the dos msg : [iO/CUDA] <Warning> left: 5

What does it mean ?

Is that a wellknown problem or what ?

Here's my config file (i use the athlon optimised version)

ppc_start_resolution = "1280x768x32"

redraw_interval_msec = 40

key_compose = "F11"

key_change_cd_0 = "none"

key_toggle_mouse_grab = "F12"

key_toggle_full_screen = "Alt+Return"

prom_bootmethod = "auto"

prom_env_machargs = "-v"

prom_driver_graphic = "video.x"

cpu_pvr = 0x00088302

memory_size=0x20000000

pci_ide0_master_installed = 1

pci_ide0_master_image = "PantherImage.img"

pci_ide0_master_type = "hd"

pci_ide0_slave_installed = 0

pci_ide0_slave_image = "/dev/cdrom"

pci_ide0_slave_type = "cdrom"

pci_rtl8139_installed = 1

pci_rtl8139_mac = "de:ad:ca:fe:12:35"

pci_usb_installed = 1

nvram_file = "nvram"

Thank you guyz hope you'll find something

I learned something from another very popular forum on the Internet.

1) Read the entire thread before posting. Despite what your kindergarten teacher said, you are not special. Your problem is not unique, and has probably been answered seven ways from Sunday.

2) You should not ask questions until you have a reasonably high post count, or you have been on the forums for more than one nanosecond.

3) LURK MORE.

This has been a public service announcement from your local forum watchdog. Have a nice Internet.

I'm following this thread since it's beginning and registred last month so, no it has not been answered, but it's allways nice to learn a month equal a nanosecond.

For the postcount i didnt knew.

3? Lurk more ? I don't know what you mean.

By the way, thank you, you've been very helpful.

Has OSX ever worked on your virtual disk? I've had to reinstall OSX once already.. it was working, and then I just *couldnt* get it to boot. Try using a later CVS build, or making a new image and trying to reinstall.

there are plenty of good install tutorials in this thread, although i used this one to install 10.3. pearpc was designed to run mac os x, see here. it takes a few minutes to boot up for me, and its very usable.

Somebody needs a refresher course in TCP/IP Networking. :rolleyes:

A subnet is a group of computers with similar IP addresses. All the computers on my local network, for example, are on the subnet 192.168.21.xxx . This means that I have to assign them an IP address in the range of 192.168.21.1 ~ 192.168.21.254. You cannot use 0 and 255; those are reserved for routing traffic.

A subnet mask is a mathematical expression of how many IPs you plan to give out in a particular subnet. The typical mask is 255.255.255.0. Sometimes you can set them to 255.255.255.128, or .64, or .32, etc... The full explanation is very technical and way beyond the scope of this thread.

Click here for a nitfy subnet calculator that might explain it a little better.

And Webopedia.com has a nice entry for "Subnet Mask."

As for those of you who want to change your router's LAN address, the procedure will be different for each manufacturer.

The procedure is basically this: You need to access the router's configuration page by opening your browser and pointing your browser to http://192.168.x.1, where x will be your IP address "class C." Look at your own IP address to get this number. Most routers ask for a username and password at this point. If you have no idea what to do here, try admin in either the username or password fields. Or try it in both. If that doesn't work, consult your router's manual. Next, you'll be looking for the LAN configuration. You'll want to change the LAN (not WAN) address to 192.168.Z.0, where Z some number OTHER than 0, 1, or your current LAN address.

i think i no what a subnet is somehow but it doesnt need to be used in a home situation like he has used its basically splitting the network up into segments y would u need that in you house unless u have something like 50 business computer in 1 room and another 25 in another room and u want them segmented so that information doesnt cross through the network to the other subnet unless its needed :s
