Downloaded "full package"

including PPC and an OSX-image.

However, I can't get it to run... there's a .bat file "start MacOSX here.bat" with the correct command line ("ppc OSX.cfg" is the content of the .bat) but all I achieve is a command window to pop up for like .3 secs then closes down.

I've checked through the config file and it seems to be allright, pointing to the right disk iamges and my DVD drive (which I've edited manually to fit my setup of 4 HD and external DVD drive)

So I was wondering, as I can't see it in any docs, if PearPC needs something like Sheepshaver, SDL libraries and such?

Yes, I know it's a lot to ask for

But I believe in the more acurate information you give in your question, the more accurate answers you will get

Hi,

No, it seems you've got all required files.
You could, however, post your config file here for us to check. And indicate where you put the files (drive, folder)

Best wishes,

?

So I tried it from the command prompt as I saw some text there, but closed....

anyways.
"main() caught exception: Can't locate any installed TAP-Win32 devices." is the error message it put's out from the dosprompt.....

no clue how to "fix" that as I don't know much about programming in general, and I can't see any reference to any tap device in the config file either.

[Cat_7]

Ah,

That should be easy to fix, and it is what I expected the error would be.
In the config file, networking is set to enabled while you don't have the tap-driver installed (from the openvpn package) yet.

In the config file, you need to set:
pci_rtl8139_installed = 0

Also set:
prom_bootmethod = "select"

That will give you a window in which to choose from which source you want to boot. Choose the hard disk file with a number, and press Enter.

You can also change the path to the hard disk, but it should be OK if the hard disk image file is in the same folder as the program itself.

Let's first get you going, and take care of networking later.

Good luck,
Cat_7

Now you said it... I actually remember reading somewhere a long time ago that the network under windows is a bit wonky.

It's working now, thanks :D
