#262716

Oooo let's see if they did a better job hiding their use of the EXACT same made-up variables as PearPC!!!!

Isn't this funny?

(from emaculation.com forums):

Known Issues

Sound. There is no sound support on this version. We will be releasing an update that will include sound capabilities as soon as it becomes available.

Network Bridging. While you will be able to connect to the Internet by using Window's ICS - you will not be able to use the CherryOS Network Bridge. The Network Bridge will be included in a future release of CherryOS.

I've even got the timer poblem, trying to install 10.3 on it.

Hum, isn't that funny? The same bugs and/or lack of functions that PearPC has, CherryOS has.

#262717

the installation never ends on my computer...

#262720

When I get home, I'll try it.

#262722

same here

#262723

After you get it, how do you seperately get/install OSX?

#262724

@heavy a - No, CherryOS isn't vaporware in the strict sense of the term... it exists... in the sense that they took PearPC's source code and then renamed everywhere where it said "PearPC" to "CherryOS" and are refusing to acknowledge that they have done so.

People on PearPC.net and Emaculation are already reporting that they are getting equivalent speed to PearPC (no duh!) as opposed to the "miraculous" near 100% speeds CherryOS was boasting.

I mean, geez, how much benefit of doubt are we going to give these idiots? The "chief programmer" of CherryOS has a KNOWN history of taking GPL sourcecode, changing a few names, and then trying to sell it as a commercial product without giving any credit (which violates the GPL). (Arben, the programmer, essentially stole VeryPDF and tried to sell it online for something like $50!)

---------------------

I posted the following in the last thread on CherryOS. I don't know how much more evidence we need to be sure that CherryOS is completely laughable.

Between this expose (link may be down, it's about how ArbenK was trying to sell VeryPDF online illegally) on Arben K and his history of stealing the code of others and selling it illegally (Arben is the "developer" of CherryOS though he has changed his story and now claims that he was merely the "visionary" behind it, not the programmer -- rather unbelievable since there are records of him posting about elementary PHP questions on various newgroups)... to the article in Wired News which includes these choice quotations (see below)... there's very little room to doubt:

- CherryOS *does* exist in the sense that you can download a program called CherryOS that attempts to make it possible to run OS X on an x86 machine

- However CherryOS is a rip/copy of PearPC, straight from its GPL source. This is a very illegal violoation of PearPC's GPL license because CherryOS is neither crediting PearPC nor "giving back" to PearPC the code that they may have changed or added. Since CherryOS is a rip of PearPC, it will NOT deliver on the 80% performance promised, and in fact, it even lacks some of the features that newer builds of PearPC have (native CD-ROM on Windows, sound, etc).

Dave Schroeder, senior systems engineer at the University of Wisconsin, examined a pre-release copy of CherryOS downloaded from Maui X-Stream by Wired News. Schroeder concluded CherryOS is likely PearPC wrapped in a different package.

Schroeder said he compared the names of various functions and variables in CherryOS and PearPC, and found they all matched.

"This is pretty clear-cut," he said. "They are, in fact, using significant amounts of code from PearPC."

The software does include functions of starting and stopping the emulator, and support for multiple profiles, but the implementation is rough and incomplete, he said.

Sebastian Ballas, PearPC's lead developer, said a screenshot of CherryOS shows a variable named "SPIRO MULTIMAX 3000," a nonsensical term Ballas claims to have invented for use in PearPC.

"It is absolutely unlikely that someone uses exactly this name for the same purpose," he said. "The way he (Kryeziu) is lying is making me angry."

How much you wanna bet that when PearPC 0.4 comes out (they have been working behind the scenes trying to get OpenBIOS and other really important features going), CherryOS will have a "new version" within a few days too!

This whole fiasco is outrageously illegal (PearPC is GPL and since CherryOS is using PearPC code, CherryOS MUST release all of their source code modifications too, which of course, CherryOS is not doing) and completely immoral too (the PearPC developers have been working insanely hard even if they haven't had a major release recently--give credit where credit is due--don't hand over $50 to CherryOS and reward them for copying the real thing).

#262725

After you get it, how do you seperately get/install OSX?

www.apple.com

you buy it.

#262726

the installation never ends on my computer...

That would be a known PearPC bug. For the solution go to Emaculation.net's PearPC forums... or better yet, go to the forums, find out how to fix it, and just install PearPC instead since they're the exact same thing.

#262727

i've installed, bu naaaaaa..... i have only 2gb freee......

#262729

Hmmmmm CherryOs drive manager looks like very similar to HFVExplorer...... hmmmmm very strange

P.S. similar = 1:1

#262730

Oh and now people are finding more evidence of PearPC rip.

Apparently if you create a profile it creates the files C:CHERRYOSASTROAMATRO, which happens to be a PearPC config file.

I've said it before and I'll say it again. I would be one hell of a coincidence that there are no PPC emulators, and all of a sudden we have two. CherryOS is released after PearPC, which happens to be open source. Not to mention CherryOS is coming from a company that specializes in video streaming, encoding, etc. It's a huge coincidence that another guy out there, from a video streaming company has the talent and programming knowledge to also create a PPC architecture emulator (I'm sure it's not easy), that happens to perform roughly the same as an emulator released open source sometime before it. How 'bout that...

#262731

crappy crap !

#262735

WOW... an emulator written in Visual Basic

#262737

ROFL .

LMAO @ Ave

#262977

LOL Ave.

Anyway, this was posted over on PearPC.net's news comments. It's a list of the similarities by using strings on PearPC vs on CherryOS, which by the way use the SAME exact nvram file. (Coincidence? Hahahaha)

CherryOS available! posted by ONCE AND FOR ALL , cherryos is a modified pearpc on 09 Mar 2005 09:03 am +0100 ReportReplyQuote

(Arben K is a loser.....)

Dont believe me?

These are all the strings of 10+ chars that are identical from executables found in cherryos and a recent official pearpc build:

http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/pearpc/...32-sdl-jitc.zip

and

http://movies.mxsinc.com/CherryOS_Software.zip

strings -n 10 ppc.exe | sort | uniq > file1

strings -n 10 CherryOS.exe | sort | uniq > file2

cat file1 file2 | sort | uniq -d > same_strings

oops.... 631 identical strings.... must be coincidence , nice try arben. The EULA for CherryOS isn't worth the disk space it's written on.
