0 neufuse Veteran Posted May 11, 2004 Veteran Share Posted May 11, 2004 This project WILL DIEBye bye, PearPC. Mike incorrect again, just because you can install mac os x on this system does not mean it has anything to do with mac osx or apple. this is an emulated PPC chip that IBM developed completely unrelated to apple. so apple will have no say in what happens to this. also, the IBM chip's insutrction set is open to anyone that wants it, so this allows for reverse engineering of it's insruction set.

0 boomn Posted May 11, 2004 Share Posted May 11, 2004 I am using my brain. If this software allows users to violate Apple's license agreement, they have every right to shut it down.Why is everyone so f*cking obnoxious? Mike But the user who decides to use this forOSX instead of a PPC Linux is the one violating the agreement. The situation only comes up when a user decides to use it illegaly.

0 Starman Posted May 11, 2004 Share Posted May 11, 2004 Hi I have tryed this but I can not get pased this screen.picture Try going into the Apple Menu->Disk Utility. See if the hard drive is seen there. If it is, partition and format it. If not, check your config file. I had that problem when using an absolute path for the img file of the virtual hard drive. I also tried removing the comment about the device being "hd". Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 fukachu Posted May 11, 2004 Share Posted May 11, 2004 i dont believe it is mike.. as soon as apple flexes their muscles pearpc can then just not promote pictures of mac os x on their site etc. they just concentrate on linux ppc etc. the fact is its not made to run os x is run to emulate ppc. i could go on about microsoft and their PC not mac license of one per PC then how can make users emulate the x86 PC and run windows.. that would surely be against the license. o well.. not worth any more time discussing i dont think anyway who knows what apple will do.. lets not argue over software issues and other things. (not aiming this at you mike.. just any1) lets just discuss this great app and report success people have been having :) it does look pretty cool having a max inside a window on windows tho..

No. MS would be in court if they did that, though Apple seems to get away with it on a number of levels (QT being a big one with its integration). Third party software would suffice for iApps.

You said: Also let?s not forget how you were basically ****ting on Windows because of it?s lack of iApps (or comparable software)?which isn?t true. Since I'm trying to compare apples to apples (no pun intended), I was DIRECTLY comparing what you get for FREE from OS X vs. what you get for FREE from Windows. How can you compare what you get for free on one platform vs. what you have to pay for on another? By that I might was well say "Final Cut Pro" and end the conversation right then and there.
