I could be wrong, but I could swear there was a thread here on pearpc around the time of the initial 0.1 release. I can't seem to find it using the search engine. Anyone got any feedback on how it runs? Development seems to be progressing quickly.

    Hey! What are you talking about??
  • RNRN
    PearPC is an Apple emulator designed to run OS X on a PC.
  • MentalMadnessMentalMadness
    Oooow that!
    It was in the Macintosh section, which was deleted due to no posts.

    PPC is currently obscenely slow and has no networking unless you use Linux.

    PS. For Mac stuff, wait a little while.
  • RNRN
    Yes, Q is right. It is really SLOW! It takes hours to install OS X in it.

    It's extremely slow because emulating PPC on x86 is *extremely* hard and inefficient. The PPC architecture has a ton more registers and other crap that takes many, many CPU cycles on x86 to emulate.

    Then again, I'd say PearPC emulates a Mac fairly well, being so fast and all. lmao

    I mean I edited his post to use the lowercase one. If Fish can't figure it out, we may just kill that Emoticon, it's annoying as anything anyway.

  • RNRN
