[Tech]OS10.3… on a P4?
 
I know this thread probably only appeals to Satoshi-kun and maybe one or two others, but I know frosty will read it anyways since he’s sweet. ;p

I found a PowerPC emulator by the name of PearPC. So after quite a bit of work, and only four hours of sleep, I am installing Panther on my P4 system! It’s… a slow process as you can see from the screenshot. Probably buggy too, but I’m happy. Wee~~~ I’ll keep whoever’s interested updated. =p

Nice... ^_^... I never knew that would work, but it's really interesting indeed.

Imakuni? May 17th, 2004 3:05 AM

where did u get the emu? whats the link and does it need a rom???

John Denver May 17th, 2004 3:21 AM

Wait a minute...how is it at 99% when its barely started? makes no sense...

John Denver May 17th, 2004 3:33 AM

That picture looks falwd or forged in some way...the blue marking is only about 1/8th to the end but it says it's at 99%...

HMM!?!?

Kairi May 17th, 2004 12:13 PM

Ahh, yay replies! ^___^

Satoshi—it runs fairly smooth. Kind of like controlling another PC over a net connection. The mouse is a bit jerky but it’s fast enough. (Edit: I fixed the redraw and now mouse movement is very smooth, it feels like about a 1.2 GHz machine which is fine) Its networking is disabled, so it can’t get online though. Still, it’s good enough for me~ I went out and got Panther just for this. Kind of a gamble, but hey it’s cheaper than a Mac. ^_^;;; It was a challenge though, because I did it without Darwin. I just booted from the CD again and used pdisk to move the virtual hard drive up to 2… or something. I was tired when I did it, but hey it works! Takes up a whole mess of RAM, but hey I have 2 gigs for a reason. ;D

I haven’t had too much time ti play with it, but I do really like Exposé and of course the look and feel. Seems… simpler than Windows yet pretty powerful too. Sadly though, to get software into it I have to burn it to a disc, then rip it to an ISO, then mount it. O_O; Ahh well, I have some Mac articles to read…~

For Dakota: =p

:) Okay, I'll ask the question for the rest of the clueless members here. (But... I think I understood the networking part we're talking about now. *yays* oO)

So... what exactly is this thing? In stupid-people terms. X3;;

aaaaaa May 17th, 2004 2:12 PM

Thats coo.. I remember using SoftMac ages ago to do System 8, but I'm glad to see that PPC has FINALLY been emulated :D

Miyu-chan May 17th, 2004 3:49 PM

I don't know what this is either, but Kairi has the same desktop picture as mine. xD

Blaine May 17th, 2004 3:50 PM

Wow... This is really amazing... But eh... As Lightning had asked... what is it and erm... What does it do? ^^''''

Sakura and Espeon May 17th, 2004 4:09 PM

lol, I need to get a copy of Mac OSX first. ^_^... lol.

Kairi May 17th, 2004 4:10 PM

Satoshi—yeah I think networking only works for *nix systems at the moment. Oh well.

Lightning Miyu and Blaine… It’s kind of like a Gameboy emulator. This emulates a Macintosh without actually using one, like how you play a GBA game without a Game Boy. It’s quite a feat since the two have radically different architectures, and I’m a Mac lover even though I haven’t used one in years. So when I saw this chance I jumped at it. Pretty complicated, but eh. o.x;

Dizzy May 17th, 2004 4:13 PM

So here's the deal Kairi. Okay, You Changed your OS on your (or one of your computers) to Mac instead of Windows (which I find pretty cool) and now you can play super-cool games on your PC on a Omega-Emulator? :)

Sorry I'm out of it today, It was a really rough day and crap but I'm trying to make the best of it. It's not really working though :(.

Geometric-sama May 17th, 2004 10:06 PM

Sounds cool! XD At least most Mac programs aren't buggy like all those for Windows.

Kairi May 18th, 2004 8:27 AM

I’ve found a couple shareware apps I like.. .drag thing and Windowshade(I think that was the name…) They’re really intuitive! I have a pretty short limit on days I can use them though, being shareware. O.x;

^^NICK^^ v.2.0 May 18th, 2004 11:04 AM

I miss my MAC. MACs are cool! Now I'm like the norm and I have a DeLL. Eww. THat screenshot reminded me so much of my MAC I just had to post.

Imakuni? May 18th, 2004 5:06 PM

i found *but didnt buy* a copy of panther at a flea market or 6$us

Sakura and Espeon May 18th, 2004 5:09 PM

I own a Mac, but it's really old and it can't run MacOSX.... :-/

Sakura and Espeon May 19th, 2004 4:12 PM

I am planing to get a Mac Laptop G3 >_<..... so I can run MacOSX... ^_^

Kairi May 19th, 2004 4:36 PM

You could probably get a used one pretty cheap… considered eBay? Might not be a bad thing to look into at least. Do you own a copy of OSX or will you need to get that too? Don’t think all G3s come with it… then again I’m not a Mac expert. ^^;;;

Imakuni? May 19th, 2004 4:46 PM

did u all know that Mac OSX is based off of the "rock solid" Unix systems?

Kairi May 19th, 2004 4:47 PM

Yeah� OSX is anyways. Not sure if OS9 and lower are. I guess it makes it robust, though there is an exploit out there that effects OSX.

Sakura and Espeon May 19th, 2004 5:07 PM

They should be compatable with Mac OS 9... >_<..... but I am planing to get a G3 Apple Laptop instead of a windows one. ^_^

Kairi May 20th, 2004 1:43 PM

Aren’t iBook G3s notorious for hard drive failure? I know it was some portable model that suffered this.

Cherrim May 20th, 2004 5:54 PM

X3 Ooh.. okay, that's why you guys keep saying emulator. That is pretty cool... although, I'm even worse with Macs than I am with PCs... so it would be more or less useless to me. :3

But then you lost me again when you started using abbrieviated terms and whatnot. *leaves topic* <_<;

Sakura and Espeon May 21st, 2004 4:42 PM

I never knew that it doesn't support colored shell iBooks.... >_<
