Running Mac OS X on x86 PC!


Question

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.

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.

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 :)

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

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.

I couldn't figure out how to compile it on my Laptop for Windows. I figured I would just set the target system to be i386-pc-winnt, but that didn't work. It just gave a ****load of errors.

Ok i've installed the Mac OS X, my PPC restarts and then i got the error. When i tried to force my img I have an error "Permission Denied" I have 5 partitions but there is no bootable partition so it cannot start. Anyone knows where is the problem?
