Hey,

I got Classic running on my emulated Mac ,yeah the Classic Window loads but PearPC hangs after for a while...Not sure , I think I need to edit the source code a little bit....

Here is a screen shot

That's amazing! :D :D :D

If you can get it to actually load and work (i.e. stop PearPC from hanging), that would be the biggest advancement with PearPC since the clock was fixed!

It would be a big advancement, but I think it will be some time before it is usable. Surely it will run slower than molases until we get some real speed from Pear PC.

However, it's still a great achievement.

i'v tried this some times, but everytime i start classic, the "classic is starting" window comes out and disapper after a short while - nothing happened.

how do you start it?

Extremely dumb question below. Be prepared.

How exactly do you get the OS 9 classic folder on the virtual hard drive using PearPC? I thought that the operating system had to be installed in order to have the classic folder on the disk.

You could always install OS9 on a real mac, and copy over the System Folder through the network.

This is exactly how far I have been when I tried it...

Irregardless it is progress. Prasys keep it up. If you need anything please let us know and we'll support you all the way!

I was planning to move my os to a 6gig img.
does anyone know if I can enlarge my 3 gig.img?
or has anyone had success making a boot disk from a 3 gig img to a 6 gig img?

hell I might just reinstall on a 6 gig img.
always looking for the easy way.

I need some room to add the Classic stuff from my G5.
I think I will strip all the prefs to keep the os9 load small and few conflicts.

hope it works...

There used to be a tutorial on the main page with information on how to go from 3 GB to 6 GB, but it isn't there anymore. From what I can remember, you have to create the 6 GB disk and set it as the secondary IDE device. You then use Apple's Disk Copy utility to copy the old hard drive's contents to the new one.

I'm pretty sure Classic will not work until PearPC is changed to officially support it. And the "booting", as it is at the moment, is stopping after a few seconds.

No reason at all to state something like "Classic runs fine"

I copied Classic from my iBook...Well, Classic Loads , you need to turn off extensions...Otherwise It will dissepaer and you need to use earlier bulids not the Latest one , try to get 0.2pre (not the offical 0.2)

I am trimming my 0s9 extion file and hope to have things tried out soon.
there should be no reason for classic to work, afterall it is made to run within osx.

Tell me if it works for you

Here's a new challenge to you prasys....since WWDC released 10.4 try to load that. BTW someone 'says' that they did this on therealduckie but they had it listed under wallpapers so that kinda made me aprehensive.

Yukon Kid · Post by **Yukon Kid** » Thu Jul 01, 2004 3:54 pm

Cyb
10.4 is not out yet, just previewed. look for it after Christmas.
until then I don't know where you might find a working version.

has anyone looked at the project that allows you to change xp into a "OSX' looking system???? I can't remember what it is called but it makes xp "look and feel" like OSX.

Cybermagellan · Post by **Cybermagellan** » Thu Jul 01, 2004 4:45 pm

yeah I used to use a few that did that....one program was called DesktopX, Aston Shell...there are a few...but 10.4 was a RC that got released at WWDC. Just wondering if anyone here had the chance to run that yet

Yukon Kid · Post by **Yukon Kid** » Thu Jul 01, 2004 5:11 pm

RC? not sure what that means.

Marc · Post by **Marc** » Thu Jul 01, 2004 5:17 pm

RC = Release Candidate. A development stage after beta which means it's almost stable.

It is far from finished from what I can tell and it isn't fundamentally different to 10.3. Not really worth it... BTW: The final release is scheduled for January 2005. So calling this pre-release a RC is kind of an euphemism

Beside of that, we're again running into the question, if discussing betas here is WaReZ or not... For me that is not necessarily the case, because the one that breaks his Non Disclosure Agreement is the betatester who leaks these disk images....

Anyway, probably not appropriate on these forums...

Okay, I've got pear pc0.1.2 running OsX 10.3.5 smoothly... still no luck with classic. Unfortunately, I'm out of town and do not have access to my trusty old 7300 to scoop the system folder from, All I have is my Sheepshaver install, and my Os 9.2.2 install cd. I have the time to mess around, just need a push in the right direction.
Thanks, keep up the good work!

Sorry to disappoint you, but the name of this topic is (a bit) misleading.

If you read the rest of it, it will become clear: Classic doesn't work from pearpc.
