when i type "C:\PearPC> ppc osx.config" cmd says,

"osx.config: invalid character ' ' (ff) in line 1
usage: ppc configfile"

ok, here's my config file:

ppc_start_resolution = "800x600x15"
redraw_interval_msec = 40
prom_bootmethod = "select"
prom_env_machargs = "-v"
prom_driver_graphic = "video.x"
memory_size=0x8000000
pci_ide0_master_installed = 1
pci_ide0_master_image = "macosx_3gb.img"
pci_ide0_master_type = "hd"
pci_ide0_slave_installed = 1
pci_ide0_slave_image = "MacOSX_CD1.iso"
pci_ide0_slave_type = "cdrom"
pci_3c90x_installed = 0
pci_3c90x_mac = "de:ad:ca:fe:12:34"
pci_rtl8139_installed = 0
pci_rtl8139_mac = "de:ad:ca:fe:12:35"
pci_usb_installed = 1
nvram_file = "nvram"

i don't know what's wrong with it. help would be great.

If this is realy the only text in your config file, you could try to copy it to an new file using notepad and save it under some name.
Then try to start pearpc with the new file.

You seem to have a blank character (space) after each line in the config file, why? I believe this is the cause of your problem.

*bumps old thread*

Welcome the n00b!

I'm having a similar problem!

Code:

C:\PearPC> ppc osx.pearpc

Code:

C:\PearPC> ppc osx.config

Result:

Code:

osx.config: I/O error: No such file or directory
Ussage: ppc configfile

The only different is the either config or pearpc before the error.

I'm not sure what went wrong. I checked all my folders and my cmd codes to make sure I was typing the corrent thing. This is my config file, if it helps at all!:

Code:

## PearPC Configuration File

##
## Start Resolution
##
## (clients that use video.x can change the resolution at runtime,
##  so this would be used only for starting up)
##
##   format:  "(width)x(height)x(depth)"
##       or   "(width)x(height)x(depth)@(frequency)"
##
##   depth can only be 15 or 32
##
##   default: "800x600x15"
##

ppc_start_resolution = "800x600x15"

##
## Redraw interval (in ms)
## must be between 10 and 500
##
## 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.
##

redraw_interval_msec = 40

##
## Key codes
##

key_toggle_mouse_grab = "F12"

key_toggle_full_screen = "Alt+Return"


##
## Loader 
##

##
##   Boot method
##     this can be
##     1. "auto", prom will boot the first bootable partition found (default)
##     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 = "auto"

## Example of how to use "force":

#prom_bootmethod = "select"
#prom_loadfile = "test/yaboot"
#prom_env_bootpath = "disk"

##
##   bootargs: don't change unless you know what you are doing
##   machargs: set to "-v" to get a verbose startup
##

#prom_env_bootargs = ""
prom_env_machargs = "-v"

##
##   This is needed if you want to boot Mac OS X
##
prom_driver_graphic = "video.x"

## This will adjust the position of the initial page table (don't change)

#page_table_pa = 104857600

##
## CPU Config
##
##   Processor Version Register
##   Defaults to 0x00088302
##   Only change if you know want you are doing
##

#cpu_pvr = 0x00088302


##
## Main memory (default 128 MiB)
## must be >= 64 MiB
##

#memory_size=0x8000000

##
## IO Devices
##

##
##   PCI IDE Config
##
##   Drive type will be set according to file extension:
##      .img: Harddisk (filesize must be multiple of 516096)
##      .iso: CD-Rom
##   Or you can override this by specifying the type via
##   pci_ide0_master_type / pci_ide0_slave_type

pci_ide0_master_installed = 1
pci_ide0_master_image = "c:\pearpc\6gb.img"
#pci_ide0_master_type = "hd"

pci_ide0_slave_installed = 1
pci_ide0_slave_image = "c:\pearpc\osx3.iso"
pci_ide0_slave_type = "cdrom"

##
##   Network
##
##   Choose one of the cards

pci_3c90x_installed = 0
pci_3c90x_mac = "de:ad:ca:fe:12:34"

pci_rtl8139_installed = 0
pci_rtl8139_mac = "de:ad:ca:fe:12:35"

##
##   USB
##
pci_usb_installed = 1

##
##   NVRAM
##
nvram_file = "nvram"

HelP!

Welcome to Emaculation!

How is your config file called and where is it saved? Because it seems like either a wrong filename or a typo.

Well, I posted my config file above. It is saved under "C:\PearPC" and it is named OSX.pearpc

Here is a screenshot of my filenames.

I tried this as I tohught prehaps that was the correct thing to do as my configure file is ppccfg:

Code:

"ppccfg " is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.

Any ideas of whats going wrong?

Also, while I've been waiting for a responce, I've been fiddling with a few things. Heres where I got recently:

Code:

C:\PearPC>ppc ppccfg.example
ppccfg.example: '"' expected in line 112
usage: ppc configfile

...so I quickly realised I was missing one of my " marks and that was all fine!

So I replace my " mark and tried again:

I had this problem in the past. Try settings the display to 32-bit.
Replace

Code:

ppc_start_resolution = "800x600x15"

with

Code:

ppc_start_resolution = "800x600x32"

It helped me. Good luck.

Try deleting the "nvram" file in the PearPC folder.
