my pc is a Pentium IV 2Ghz, 64Mb video and 256 Ram. WinXp Pro, Sp1

2) i have the iso of my first Cd, (made with Alcohol120%)

3) i have the 6 Gb of Disk image unziped !!!

5) here you can see my Conf file.

#  default: 2


# 
# Redraw interval (in ms) 
# must be between 1 and 999 
# 
# If you set this higher, PearPC will spend less time doing redraws (and so run faster) but feel 
# less responsive. You should adjust this to your computer speed and personal preference.

# 
#   Boot method 
#     this can be

#     2. select, prom will show you a list of bootable partitions 
#     3. force, prom will load and boot the local file prom_loadfile 
# 
prom_bootmethod = "select" 

# Example of how to use force: 
#prom_bootmethod = "force" 
#prom_loadfile = "test/yaboot"

You really should use that tutorial I showed you dude

Here's how to run PearPC from Command Prompt: type

cd "your pearpc folder"

, hit enter, then

ppc config.txt

, hit enter

(replace "ppc" with the filename of your PearPC executable, and "config.txt" with the filename of your config)

Btw, those image links are broken.

#185316

TRue

but i got confussed with this new Ugly look this Forum has :S

lol ...

keith i did ! but that tutorial can`t fix this error :S

#185318

lol Ok

I just guessed what the most likely problem was since the image links were broken (fixed now)

edit: PS: it isn't necessary to quote the only other post (plus a long one) in the ****ing thread

#185319

you have to install darwin first, otherwise i don't think you'll be able to boot into osx, btw, did you try asking for help at emaculation.org? I'm sure they'd be better qualified to answer your questions then us.

:staffs here:

NONONO!

install darwin? :blink: you dont need to. i didnt.

OK when you run it, just remember, you CANNOT type "ppc" to run it. you have to type "ppc config.txt" like earlier said.

also, i suggest a pear pc config program that uses a gui to guide you through the config process. its much easier. try this one:

I still think the problem is that the CD image of panther does not have a recognizable boot sector. >.

#185417

I'm have a few issues with PearPC as well... I hope this a good place to ask.

I've sucessfully setup Panther 10.3.4 in PearPC and it runs fine on the 0.2.0 build, but I wanted to try a new CVS build, so I downloaded it and ran it with the same config file, and it doesn't run.

This is the error it gives me:

1 AuthenticAMD
CMOV MMX SSE

[Display/SDL]: Making new window 800 x 600

[Display/SDL]: Changing resolution to 800x600

in file vt100.cc, line 321: assertion failed: mTermWriteBufLen+buflen < (int)siz

eof mTermWriteBuf

D:\PearPC>

Any clue as to what the problem may be? :blink:

#185522

mine cant boot to mac os x, damn, been confuse for like 4 hours ... set this set that still no work. i guess the *.iso file make all the cause ...

:rant:

#186990

Tsk. All these people talking about ISO images, I hope you mean legit copies of Panther.

And not pirated copies of our beloved Apple's stuff.

#187039

Aren't you supposed to burn ISOs to CD to use them properly? :blink:
