0 DELETEMYACCOUNTTTTTTTT Posted July 14, 2004 Share Posted July 14, 2004 I had this issue, and to fix, I deleted any subfolders I had in the folder with the exe, and also tried setting it to the verbose (i think) startup. You can look back in the thread for how to do that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 Ryan Hoffman Posted July 14, 2004 Share Posted July 14, 2004 Any ideas how i can make it work?I have the SDL.dll in the directory and in system32 Grab a new SDL build, or use a non-SDL build. This is a problem with the PearPC code (right after the code reorg), and not a problem with your system, or the dlls you're using. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 EVO VIII Posted July 16, 2004 Share Posted July 16, 2004 hmm, with the newer builds i'm getting the following error message:D:\pearpc>ppc ppccfgnew.cfg ppccfgnew.cfg: ' " ' expected in line 1. usuage: ppc configfile anyone have any ideas how to fix this? yeah im getting that too :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 mgleason007 Posted July 17, 2004 Share Posted July 17, 2004 Do you have any subfolders in your ppc folder? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Ryan Hoffman Posted July 17, 2004 Share Posted July 17, 2004 The reason why you are getting the config errors, is because the video setting has changed. Instead of entering a number for your video mode, the video mode is now expressed in "[Resolution]x[ColorDepth]" format, and as with any string in the config file, make sure you surround the setting with quotes. For example, "1024x768x32". Just to note: the video mode setting isn't required anymore, and it can actually be commented out (you can switch resolutions in Mac OS X or whatever OS you have installed, natively). To respond to santiagomedinasaenz's problem; the reason why you keep getting permission denied is because in the Mac OS X shell, you don't get root permissions automatticly. Instead of running pdisk, run the command: sudo pdisk. The terminal should prompt you for the password, just enter your account's password. This *should* make everything dandy, however you might not be able to change the partition your booted in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 eaglebtc Posted July 18, 2004 Share Posted July 18, 2004 Thank you Tekmaven, I was wondering why PearPC kept crashing. I should probably check the ppccfg.example every time a new version is released. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 amr_01 Posted July 19, 2004 Share Posted July 19, 2004 i can't wait till Gentoo completes their ebuild for Gentoo MacOS, as soon as they do I'm going to try in on pear. I love gentoo, this adds all the best feature of gentoo (such as portage) to OSX! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Ryan Hoffman Posted July 20, 2004 Share Posted July 20, 2004 Alrighty, I was unhappy with the selection of builds available, so I decided to make my own builds. These are the following builds I'm making: G4/Altivec (from altivec CVS branch), SDL G4/Altivec (from altivec CVS branch), Win32 Standard CVS CPU, SDL Standard CVS CPU, Win32 Each of the above configurations are available optimized for Pentium 4, or AthlonXP, so there are eight builds total. Additionally, each build will stay archvied, so if tomorrows CVS isn't as good as todays, you can go back. If the folders are missing zip files, its just because it's currently building ;-). http://www.tekmaven.nu/pearpc/builds/ Just one note, if you are using the G4/Altivec builds, be sure to add this line to your config file: cpu_pvr = 0x000c0000 By the way, did I mention PearPC will now emulate a G4 cpu? ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Fozzieb Posted July 20, 2004 Share Posted July 20, 2004 By the way, did I mention PearPC will now emulate a G4 cpu? ;) Does this mean it runs faster, or just more compatabile Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 basix Posted July 20, 2004 Share Posted July 20, 2004 Has anyone been able to get a .img > 6gig to work? I tryed this 20gig image but panther refused to install on it. What sizes of .img's is everyone using and did you create it with a utility? Or is it best to stick with the provided 6gigs? - works for me :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Fozzieb Posted July 20, 2004 Share Posted July 20, 2004 I never got the image tools to work, I just stuck to the 6Gb img. I wish it would work I would like a 20Gb image. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 amr_01 Posted July 20, 2004 Share Posted July 20, 2004 i used an image tool to make a 15gb. i used the tool that came with PearPC Front. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 mgleason007 Posted July 22, 2004 Share Posted July 22, 2004 I made my own 10 gig image with a DOS command dskutil or something, I can't remember. Anyways, I had to format it with the Panther Disk Utility, then reboot ppc. Works fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
