Just browsing SourceForge searching for "PearPC", and found this:

http://sourceforge.net/projects/mac-on-windows/

It claims to be faster than PearPC, and its latest update in 2006. Anybody try this?

I have not tried it, but I looked at the code.
It seems to be some simple installer created by some Dutch guy around a Pear PC version by Prasys, which even claims to support USB devices

The current redscorp versions available through pearpc.net should be faster and more versatile, although not supporting USB....

Oh, ok.

By "Redscorp" you mean the "0.5presnd" version, or is there an even newer version than that? Or do you mean the Pearpc community version plus java-based Gui?

and is there some way to translate the dutch program?

Hi,

I don't know what the heading of the PearPC windows is, but one of the downloads is called: redscorp-release-20080329.1
Check this thread on their forum:

I found what you were saying. Apparently it is newer than the version included with the "Emulation Power Pack".

So there are different builds of PearPC? Can you summarize them?

Also, should I use the Java GUI from the Pear.PC.net package, or is there another GUI that is better?

A "as far as I know" brief summary:

-Official builds, see sourceforge
-Prasys builds, mostly based on CVS plus additions by other coders (thus including unofficial tweaks) (still to be found?)
-Redscorp builds, with new networking and multiple IDE support on the pearpc.net site

The problem with the GUI's is that they sometimes correspond to specific PearPC builds as the configuration options changed during time. Manual configuration is not that bad...

To get the Redscorp builds going, you need to manually change the config file as there is no GUI doing it for you. (just read the thread I referred to earlier, it contains an example config file)

Ah ok.

So PearPC is still in development after all. No OS9 support still eh?

About Prasys build, you said Mac-On-Windows seems to have it. So could I extract the PearPC build from the M-o-W installer?

No support for OS 9, although they did work on it.

If you download the source, two builds are available.
Prasys, in his day, created much more versions but they seem to have disappeared (not that I'm looking)

Good luck,
Cat_7
