0 Help Posted March 9, 2005 Share Posted March 9, 2005 if apple is smart, they'll buy up cherryos just like Microsoft bought up Connectix. 585587888[/snapback] No, if they want to exist for another 5 years they'd have to sue them.

0 Stingray Posted March 9, 2005 Share Posted March 9, 2005 One thing?s for sure, when this baby is more mature it?s going to be good... However, it?s a bit pointless (speaking in terms of productivity) running an emulated OSX on top of Windows XP if you think for a bit. But it?s good, clean f:). :) I have access to an OSX disc, but I?ll skip this for a few months until it?s faster and better.

0 g-n-t Posted March 9, 2005 Share Posted March 9, 2005 its not pointless at all. like i said in my previous post, my cd's are still "coming in" but if in fact it does have 80% cpu ussage, then my 2800xp w/512mb ram can outperform a mac mini 1.25ghz and 256mb ram.

To run them slower? No if you want to get a job done in a practical way, that was what I was saying.

0 JK1150 Posted March 9, 2005 Share Posted March 9, 2005 Okay I have the file ASTROAMATRO now. It is created right after you create a profile and start it (doesn't require OS X to be installed), and here are it's content: pci_ide0_master_installed = 1 pci_ide0_master_image = "c:\CherryOS_HD\toxicfume\hdimage.img" pci_ide0_master_type = "hd" pci_3c90x_installed = 0 pci_3c90x_mac = "DE:AD:CA:FE:12:34" pci_usb_installed = 1 nvram_file = "nvram" pci_ide0_slave_installed = 1 pci_ide0_slave_image = "" pci_ide0_slave_type = "cdrom" prom_bootmethod = "auto" redraw_interval_msec = 10 cos_start_resolution = "1280x1024x32" prom_driver_graphic ="C:\DOCUME~1\xxxxxxx\LOCALS~1\Temp\ifrs_gkl.tmp" memory_size = 0x20000000 pci_rtl8139_installed = 0 pci_rtl8139_mac = "DE:AD:CA:FE:12:35" key_toggle_mouse_grab = "F6" cpu_pvr = 0x000c0000 Familiar? ;) busted. 585588193[/snapback] There you go! The ONLY reason many people get the illusion of this being faster or smoother is: redraw_interval_msec = 10 that's a VERY important setting, and will determine the whole speed of the emulation. I thought pearpc was too slow to use when I had it at like 250 or something. Now that it's at 10 on my PC, it's actually very useable with smooth animations. for those saying this is faster, set that setting in your PearPC, and then tell me.
