PearPC running very slow
I have a 3.06 ghz pentium 4 HT with 512 ddr ram and I'm trying 2 install MacOS 10.3 and it runs so slow that even the mouse is moving with pauses. Can ayone tell me how can I fix that?

if your installing mac, it will be slow. the lowest install I've heard of so far is around 2-3 hours. I have a 3.06 HT too...
the mouse speed and fluidness depends on your refresh rate. for installing you want to have the refresh rate high (say 500)...once you have it installed fine, I run at 30 with no problem. if you try 30 when installing osx, prepare for it to take a lot longer.

higher value -> cpu uses less power drawing and tracking the mouse in pearpc and more to the OS itself (which is why installing is faster if you use a higher redraw/refresh rate). don't use a high redraw rate once osx is installed, there really isn't much of a performance difference
lower value -> cpu uses more power drawing and tracking the mouse in pearpc, the mouse is much smoother...scrolling and other things are smoother too (such as moving windows or navigating the dock). use a lower setting when osx is installed
when your installing, set your redraw rate in the 500 area
when your done installing, set your redraw rate around 40. if your brave, go lower and see how it performs. tweak this number to your liking.

Is the 0.2pre Build from pearpc.net a build for windows?
Or is the code for linux around
I'm installing Mac OS X 10.3 on PearPC 0.1.2 (according to the title bar) and its been going for 9 and a half hours
Would the 0.2pre build for linux speed it up? (I can't use a windows version because I'm using the cd (/dev/cdrom)

Whats your PC Specs ? If you are having a old PC Specs ? e.g P3 , P2
Then visit this site
http://rudefyet.dyndns.org:6969/ppc.htm
Or if you have Althon XP , P4 or other latest chips
Then visit the Nightly Bulid web site on the FAQ Section
It will speed up the emulation by little...(not that much)

My PC is an XP2600 with 512Mb RAM - high enough spec I should think
The nightly builds website only has windows versions and I'm actually running linux
Its now been going for 12 and a half hours and is sitting here now:

Please read http://pearpc.sourceforge.net/getstart. ... ource_luke
You must enable the jitc if you want speed.

I shall recompile - I missed that bitSeppel wrote:Please read http://pearpc.sourceforge.net/getstart. ... ource_luke

I just configured with ./configure only
I'll do that once its finished 8)
I had to compile with the line
./configure --enable-cpu=jitc_x86 && make
The GUI arguement caused the compile to fail
It couldnt seem to find a program call NASM? (i think). Never heard of it
Not really noticing any speed increase - still sitting on the grey apple logo after about 5 mins with no disk activity at all
How long does it take for you guys, I've waited 15-20mins for the main screen before now
./configure --enable-cpu=jitc_x86 && make

Make sure you set your compiler flags right for your CPU (P4 en athlon, ...)FraserGJ wrote:I had to compile with the line

And for NASM, its part of cygwin. Run the cygwin setup again, and add nasm to your installation.

Strangely enough, using a minimal install (Just the core components), the install took 70 minutes for me. Started at 10:10... Ended at 11:19.MDZ61384 wrote:if your installing mac, it will be slow. the lowest install I've heard of so far is around 2-3 hours. I have a 3.06 HT too...
