0 PureEdit Posted May 12, 2004 Share Posted May 12, 2004 This is COMPLETELY legal, so shutup NOW. Running Mac OS * is ILLEGAL, but that is not all this can be used for. MOL can already run Mac OS * on non Mac hardware (but still PPC), so this is nothing apple has not seen before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Starman Posted May 12, 2004 Share Posted May 12, 2004 Cool. When you unzipped the jitc version, you got a few files in there. Make sure that you put the 3 GB .img file in that folder as well. You need a disk image to run. Panther, Darwin, or Mandrake. Panther is 2 disks. There's a file called ppccfg.example. Towards the bottom are config settings for the disk images; master and slave. I don't have the config file in front of me (Im' on my Powerbook at the moment :D) but if you look back in this thread, you'll see examples of what to set those settings to. Essentially, the master setting is turned on by changing the 0 to 1, and you set that as the filename of your hard drive image. You turn slave on by changing it from 0 to 1 and set the filename of the CD image you want to 'boot' from. Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 VWW Posted May 12, 2004 Share Posted May 12, 2004 Just thought i'd throw this in here.... i have tried the original OSX 10.0 and i can't get that to work. I have even tried the above fix that works for 10.2 but still no luck. Just thought some of you might be interested :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 volrathxp Posted May 12, 2004 Share Posted May 12, 2004 (edited) Indeed. Congrats Volrath, you found the fix for running OS 10.2 hey no problem, just trying to help out! :D edit: I would like to also note that allocating 512 mb of ram ( i have a gb in my machine) to PearPC has made a huge difference. it's not super fast, but it's reasonably faster than one with 128mb of ram. :D Edited May 12, 2004 by volrathxp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 DKAngel Posted May 12, 2004 Share Posted May 12, 2004 how did u change the settings in the emu config to allow 512 ive tryied so many hex settings cant get it higher than 145 and even still it crashes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 1759 Posted May 12, 2004 Share Posted May 12, 2004 It's installing, using Jackalo's guide, but it'll probably take forever and then some. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 DKAngel Posted May 12, 2004 Share Posted May 12, 2004 well i got darwin perfectly installed but my osx 10.3 dies in the very last stages of install : Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Starman Posted May 12, 2004 Share Posted May 12, 2004 My installation's been running for about 5-1/2 hours now, and it's been stuck on 2h39m for about 45 minutes. Hasn't crashed, still running. I'm really hoping they get something a little better for 0.2. Maybe networking and a small percentage faster. Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
