Richardgoodwin's works fine here.

Make sure you put 0x000c0000 as the CPUID. There are three zeros, followed by a C, then four zeros.

Also, did you remember to #comment out the other CPUID when you tried the altivec register?

Oh hello front page! 8) 8)

From Pearpc.net: This is feature most of you awaited for. This is the first build of This build includes Soundcard emulation , so it enables users to output sound from the client operting system such as MacOS X NOTICE The sound emulation is choppy and the mouse will Freeze when a sound is played htt...

The front page has an update to MiniMac v2.4.1, which I have never used before. The program requires a ROM image. After a little bit of research, I found two fairly popular programs: CopyROM and AutoCopyROM. Both say that they only work with OS9, but AutoCopyROM said it would run under X in classic ...

The non-SDL version works well, btw. But I still remember the very early (hacked) SDL builds that ran soooo smooth! They had loads of bugs, OK, but none of the later versions ran as good on my system. I don't really understand why?! I mean technically. It was the patch they included for a hardware-...

Right mouse click was a special patch. that feature is not enabled in the CVS or official builds, you'd have to include it in the compiling process yourself.

So if you go full screen it never happens? Cuz my mouse and keyboard will freeze up after a certain amount of time. It varies.

Sweet. Tekmaven needs to remove some of those bad builds to make room on his file server

1) Where do I download 0.3.1 ? It still says 0.3 on the main page.
2) If Right-Alt is no longer mapped as Option, then what is the "new" Option key?

What is the name of the config file that Kwai is looking for? i'm not using the suggested "default.cfg" and so PearPC is looking for "linux.img" which I don't have

Never mind, you seem to be using "ppccfg.example"

The hard drive image was suddenly "unbootable" with tonight's CVS builds. Stay away from them. If you go back to the stable build (0.3 official), your virtual hard drives will boot OK.

Link? News Source? Download?

Under 0.2/0.3pre my PearPC could go from launch to the desktop in about 2:45 consistently. Since the release of 0.3 final and the development of 0.4pre, my boot times have dropped to 1:35. My system is a Pentium 4 2.6GHz, OC'ed to 3.1GHz, hyperthreading ON (PearPC gets 50% of CPU), with 1GB of RAM, ...

Indeed. Apple will be getting $2000 from me very soon for a new Powerbook G4.

Not anymore thanks to the official 0.3 release! There's an experimental idle-sleep mode for the JITC versions. if the Mac is doing nothing, then your CPU usage will reflect this.

edited: irrelevant to discussiohn.

Then these crashes must be induced by some new "bugs" introduced in the 0.3 branch of code.

Are you suggesting that we should reinstall the Mac OSX with the latest build of PearPC, and that will make all our problems go away?

It's so sad...our children will never know what a DOS / Unix "prompt" is.

there's a follow-up, Cybermagellan. I'm using the July 23rd Altivec-P4 build, and suddenly my mouse and keyboard stopped working. Here's the error message: [CPU/OPC] <Warning> write dec > 20 millisec := 2147483647 (4294967196) [CPU/OPC] <Warning> write dec > 20 millisec := 2147483647 (4294967196) [C...

For the last 2-3 minutes (and still while I type this post) there is an unusual pattern of numbers scrolling in the PearPC console. This has never happened before. What exactly is PearPC doing? The emulated Macintosh is still on the screen and behaving normally. The flow of numbers seems to slow dow...

I seem to recall one of the 0.2 SDL builds that was first to implement SDL + full-screen. One of the nicest features about it was that the mouse was absolutely butter-smooth. The "fs_refresh_rate" switch was still implemented and always set to 60, and the redraw_rate was basically ignored ...

So what are the lines that need to be changed in the config? Never mind, I wasn't downloading the "standard" version. And will someone PLEASE edit kybernaut's post!! It's damn annoying to have to scroll on this page. Also, it doesn't appear to support music CDs yet. This appears to be a cl...

I figured it out. I needed Rosetta from Thoth software, which is no longer available. I had to go Usenet to find it.
