Launch PearPC Control Panel and click on the Create New Configuration File icon. You will
see the first screen as shown in Figure 1. Click on Continue to proceed to the next step.

Figure 1. Using the Create Configuration File wizard
In the next screen, you have to supply a few pieces of information (see Figure 2). First,
specify the location of the PearPC emulator. In my case, it is [Desktop]:\PearPC\ppc.exe.
Next, specify the location of the hard disk image; that is, [Desktop]:\PearPC
\macosx_6gb.img.
Note: Be sure to replace [Desktop] with your own desktop path.
Also, set the amount of memory you want to set aside for Mac OS X. (I have allocated
255MB.) Click on Continue.
Figure 2. Creating a new configuration file
In the next screen, you have the option to specify the screen resolution and color depth to
use. Click on Finish when done (see Figure 3).
Note: I tried to enable networking, but I never got it to work. Also, use G3 and not G4 CPU
emulation.

Figure 3. Specifying additional options
Give a name to the configuration file and save the file in the location specified (see Figure
4). Name it Mac OS X Panther and save it in the location [Desktop]:\PearPC
\macosxpanther.cfg. Click on Finish.
Figure 4. Completing the wizard
You should now see the icon for your Mac OS X Panther in the PearPC Control Panel (see
Figure 5). You need to complete one final step before you start installing Mac OS X on your
PC--check the "CD-ROM device is installed" option and specify the location of the Mac OS
install disk image. In my case, it is [Desktop]:\Panther1.iso. This is the image that will be
used to boot up the emulator.

Figure 5. The completed configuration file
Figure 6 shows the files in my [Desktop]:\PearPC folder. The important files are
highlighted.
Figure 6. Files in the PearPC folder
That's it! Double-click on the Mac OS X Panther icon and you should see the PearPC 0.3.0
window pop up (see Figure 7). Your Mac OS X installation should start soon afterward.
Note: It took me quite a while to get my Mac OS X to install. I encountered a number of

failed attempts--when I booted into Mac OS X, it prompted me to restart my machine. But
after several attempts, it worked.
Figure 7. Installing Mac OS X
Once the OS is installed, you will be asked to restart the machine. For subsequent
attempts to run Mac OS X on your emulator, you should uncheck the "CD-ROM device is
installed" option so that it can boot directly from the hard disk image. If the installation is
performed correctly, you should see something like Figure 8 when Mac OS X boots up.

Summary
Before installing PearPC and using Mac OS X, you need to keep several things in mind:
1. You need a license to run Mac OS X. That is, you need to buy a copy of Mac OS X.
2. The installation process takes time. Don't install Mac OS X on a slow machine; I
tried the steps outlined in this article on three different machines--933MHz, 1.7GHz,
and 3.0GHz, all equipped with 512MB of RAM. The 3.0GHz machine installed
significantly faster compared with the rest, but it still took me several hours to get
all of the installation done. Also, make sure you have lots of free hard disk space.
5 of 33 27-05-2010 15:51
The hard disk image itself takes up 6GB, and the additional installation disk images
are going to take up a few more gigabytes.
3. Even though the installation process is painfully slow, once the system is installed it
is actually quite responsive. While you won't be able to fully experience Mac OS X as
if you were using a real Mac, the emulation provides a good way for you to try out
Mac OS X before you head to the nearest Apple shop to get the latest iMac.
Have fun, and let me know if PearPC works for you.

Use Kalyway's Leopard boot disc!

2009-12-24 14:34:07 Polycoda [Reply | View]
Forget about all of this, use Kalyway's MAC OS X Leopard boot disc. It supports most common PC hardware. On my typical
HP Compaq CMT 530 desktop PC, it booted fine and then I chose the NetExtreme Gigabit network driver from the install
packages and then it installed correctly on my second SATA drive. I have sound, network, mouse, keyboard, the only thing is
my GeForce 6400 GS, but I think there is a KEXT I can download to fully adapt it. Anyhow, it works fine without the driver,
only that it's stuck on 1024x768 resolution... which is still not bad.

Create .iso from dvd. Load and install daemon tools and macdrive to check that your mac .iso file is readable by the PC.
Copy to Ppc directory as pci_ide0_slave_image = "C:\Pearpc\aaaaaaaa.iso". Correct cfg file accordingly.

The "location of image file" means the image of your mac os x install disk, not you 6gb hard disk image. You can create
this image with many iso recording programs like the freeware "iso recorder" (creative name ;) ) For windows.

Have you installed an OS yet? You need to finish at least one installation before you can boot from any disk image.
To install: Make sure you have a virtual slave ide0 device configured as "cdrom" apart from your master image. So dive
into the configuration file with wordpad (the file officially uses a non-windows line end which wordpad supports) and add
something like (if it doesn't exist):
pci_ide0_slave_image = "d:\pearpc\cd1.iso"
This would boot the cd image "cd1.iso". For MacOSX you only need CD1 if you aren't planning on using printers or
additional languages. Also, the installation would top out at about 890 MB, leaving just enough room on a 3gib disk
image for some additional programs.
Just remember that this is only to get the feeling of mac os. If you want to find out another way, and have some left over
cash you want to spend: Buy a second hand G4 AGP (minimum!) (power/i/e-)mac around 533MHz and with 512 MB RAM
minimum (for <533, >700 benefits from a little speed so can run well with less memory) with MacOSX (be sure to get
the official cds/dvd). Though this is a little off topic... ;)
Good luck!

help, thx

You may need to partition the drive image where you plan to do the install. You can do this from the Installer. Under the
Installer menu, select disk utilities. If the drive image file shows up in the disk utilities, you can create a partition. After
you create the partition, you may see a message that you can't install on the partition. However, if you exit the installer
and THEN start up pearpc again, after the install starts the drive should now be available for installation.
In any case, it may be helpful to use the disk utilities to see if the drive shows up and that it is read/write.

Check that the iso file and the harddrive file are not read only and that they are not being accessed by another program.
See http://www.computerhope.com/issues/ch000380.htm for explanation of run time errors.

Hi, i am trying to install Mac os x tiger on my pc and I am running into a few problems. I first tried using the ppc control
panel, but it would give me this ( unknown identifier 'ppc_start_full_screen' in line 13.) every time I would try to launch the
config file. So, I switched bootmethod to auto and I got a little further. The ppc window opened, but it said 0 bootable
partitions found. I decided to abandon the control panel for now and try doing it manually. I followed the instructions on this
page http://os-emulation.net/pearpc/web/installX.html. Again I got up to the same part but this time there were 6
partitions. However, all were unbootable. Does anyone know what to do or have any suggestions?

Saving Image Of Mac OS X Disk

2007-07-14 13:37:11 kevan.mann [Reply | View]
Hello Wei-Meng Lee,
I have a question relating to how to save the CD/DVD in ISO format to your computer. I have Nero, but how exactly do I
save it to an ISO Format?? And how Do I do multiple disks?? PLEASE HELP!!! I am ordering OS X Tiger today!!

2007-12-24 10:00:14 themacuser10410 [Reply | View]
Hello,
12 of 33 27-05-2010 15:51
I think I can help a bit. I just got a trial on Nero right the minute I am responding and I just found out how to save in iso
format. If you found out, then reply back to tommmybeny2@gmail.com. I also need some help, too.
Dont go on Nero Smart Start. Under start, go to nero then nero express. Then click options and then save tracks. That is
the only way I know how. Also, it will take a while to save it. I have a 2GB ram, 2.4Ghz Computer and its taking quite a
while. Also, the DVD drive is FAST.
I am running a Mac under bootcamp to run Windows. I cannot run mac os 9.2 and SheepShaver (Classic EMU) does not
support 9.2. So, I am try to run a G3 EMu so that it supports!!!
I have the original install DVD when it came w/ my mac. it has two DVDs. I am not sure to extract both w/ Nero or not. .
.
If you have no idea what i just said, go on AIM (download it at aim.com if you dont have it) and if i have time, i will
explain. My screen name is the same as the one for here, themacuser10410.
I hope it works for you. If not, try OS x86. That is if you have an intel.

Sorry, on Nero Express, go to Save Tracks Directly.

2007-08-22 06:41:31 cboxgo [Reply | View]
You may have to look at getting something like MacDrive to be able to read the format. I'm assuming that you bought a
DVD and you're trying to save it to ISO so that's probably your issue. Windows doesn't recognize MacHFS format.

Hi, I successfully installed MACOSX in my PC using PearPC emulator and got internet connection too.
First I tried to use PearPC control panel to generate ppc.cfg file but I couldn't boot and got many troubles.
Then I decided to make my ppc.cfg file and is like this:
prom_env_machargs = "-v"
prom_driver_graphic = "video.x"
memory_size=0x10000000
pci_ide0_master_image = "macosx_3gb.img"
pci_ide0_slave_image = "OSXInstaller.iso"

pci_3c90x_mac = "de:ad:ca:fe:12:35"

2007-08-17 00:46:50 phreakdb [Reply | View]
it depends on several factors. right now I am installing. Firstly, if youa re using pearpc control panel, then you will want
to make sure that the checkbox at the bottom that cd device installed or something like that is checked. secondly, you
will want to make sure that the file box is pointing toward an image of whatever version you are using. Thirdly, and this
is the most important. Make sure that you actually have an image that you can install from.

Is everyone blind? have they been paying attention to the screenshots? If you look carefully at the one that has all the
system information displayed, it says that it's running on a PowerPC G3 1.1 Ghz. It's not Mac running on a PC. This is some
kind of scam. The guy clearly took a screenshot from his Mac and sent it to his PC to make it look like Mac running on a PC.

2008-03-22 18:49:02 garethn [Reply | View]
Omg. Just because you can't get it working. You must have a bum .ISO file or something. Btw how are you supposed to
get it working if you buy a copy of the OS, you can't use the native CD ROM, and unless you make an .ISO file in Mac OS
X and transfer over then you can't do it. And if you could do that then why are you trying to install inside an Emulator?

Dont bother with pear PC

Since apple has introduced intel chips, OS X has support for them so you can now run OS X Tiger on a pc without an
emulation (you may have problems on some AMD chips like AMD Athlon 64).

So cool I've manage to make it work finally..mac osx 10.4.1 finally runs! cool but not much of use.. well network doesn't
work, dvds are not recognized.. it's really slow, so slow I can't even play a chess match. I think unless I'll be able to make it
run natively it won't really change my life. And to run it natively there is a lot of issues about how to make all the periferals
to work.. how to get drivers and have mac to recognize videocard, network card, usbs, sound card.... well nice step by step
walktrought to have it to run, and many thanks to whoever wrote pearpc.. really good job!!

Ok. So I went out and bought Software instalation disks of panther os x. I put them into my cd-rom drive and the computer
thinks the drive is empty. Then I downloaded MacDrive 6, the program claims it only needs to be set up, then it will
recognize any mac disk. I must be missing something though because im unable to get MagicISO to recognize any
information from the panther mac os x cd. If you have ANY advice please email me: swim861@yahoo.com

I sucessfully did this earlier today. After doing this I noticed something. Yes it does run FAIRLY fast. Not as fast as if it was
23 of 33 27-05-2010 15:51
native though. However, it has some problems with crashing... alot. So I quested out to figure out if their was a way to
install it nativly. It took about 3 hours of looking through google results but I did find some stuff to do it. Another six hours
later and I was able to dual boot into Mac OS X without running windows at all on a PC. This did however require several
third party drivers and emulators for the OS X system itself to get it running right with the video card, motherboard, etc. It
did run much faster then the windows emulator though. It also required a new boot loader, a linux partition and a striped
down version of the newest version of Redhat Linux. I am glad I already had a copy of that on a disk. But, I got it working.
The steps I had to go through after the install are: Boot into linux. Go to m0sx.rpm then go to MOsX it will restart your
machine out of linux and into OSX. It was heck to find all of this stuff but I did do it. I only recomend it if you have ALOT of
time on your hands and nothing better to do.

I installed OSX Darwin natively on my PC. I Formatted the drive and just installed it. My PC is an Athlon 64 3200+ processor
a Biostar MB with Nforce ultra chipset ATI Radeon 1300 pro vidcard. The machine ran OSX like a champ and it is smoking
fast. My only problem is the network! I cannot get it to recognize any ethernet adapter, usb or otherwise. Everything else
works fine! Any idea how to get it to connect to a network? I am a MAC dummy,
but running it on my pc shows me what windows lacks! the speed was incredible.

2007-01-27 17:20:42 deltaflyer [Reply | View]
I originally had the same problem with the network, but found another tutorial that explained how to get the network
working. Here's a link:
http://os-emulation.net/pearpc/web/networkosx.html
The upshot is you have to install a program in Windows that creates another ethernet adapter which Mac OS uses.
Unfortunately you'll have to use a different configuration file to boot into Mac OS. PearPC came with a config file called
"ppc.example" (openable in wordpad, it's screwy-looking in notepad). The os-emulation site tells you which changes to
make in order to make the internet work in Mac OS.

Hope this helps.

I had this problem, even though i had created a virtual drive.
I realised that, you then have to go into Utilities->Disk Utility. Your 3 or 6GB virtual disk should be visible here. You
then need to select it and create a partition on it, then choose to format it as MAC OS Extended (journalled). Takes
about 10 mins on a 6GB virtual disk.
Once you've done this, an available hard disk will magically appear to on the installer!!

don't have a volume to select. Is the install just really slow or do I have to partition my drive to have at least 6 gig of free
space?

I figured it out. You have to format the image with the Disk Utility option.

Image file is always corrupt..

hi, i've tried burning the patched .iso file to dvd 5 times now...every time nero says it was successful, but windows explorer
won't let me look at the drive letter or anything; saying the "file may be corrupt"
anyone have an answer for me?

You have to burn the disk in to an image file, choose the image creator from the drop down list in the change recorder
menu, then you have to "Convert" the .NRG file in to an .ISO file, I've used Magic ISO for that, you may ensure that your
version will be able to recognize the nero file format, the last version (5.1) does it for sure. Don't be worry if you can't
acces the image file after been burned, it is because it has a differnt file structure and windows is not capable of read it.
Hope it helps....

2006-03-15 20:48:57 Supaman [Reply | View]
no i dowloaded the image file already patched and in .iso format!! after i burn the image it is successful (using nero 6
ultra), but i can't read the disk, and bios won't recognize it as an image cd to boot up to...could it be media, corrupt
d/l, check sums??? it will not read as anything but a blank cd in windows!

You won't be able to see anything of MAC in a PC, that is why you have to load it in to the emulator, if you can't
see it in the boot menu, you can choose the option "0" to see all the partition that the emulator detect, even th
non bootables ones. GL

(Note: If you are going to do this I suggest you print it out first)Yeah this program might seem cool but you run it in a
window, its not actually transforming your pc, and you have to do the dirty work like transforming files and copying them to
differant places. I know a program that completely changes your pc, and you can easily toggle in between xp and mac, go to
http://osx.portraitofakite.com/index2.htm?username=Braden then you can just preview it, then click on download up top
then click flyakite v3.0, you will need an unzipping program like winzip from www.winzip.com, just get the trial version, open
flyakite v 3.0 with winzip, when winzip opens click use evalutation version then up top click extract then select to put the
files where you remember where they will be, then down bottom of the extract window make sure that the box use file
names is selected then click extract, it should be done in about 5 seconds, then exit winzip and go to the flyakite v 3.0 setup
file you extracted and open it, about half way through the setup it will give you boxes to choose from like create restore
point, system files, tweaks etc. click in all the boxes then click next. it will then setup then ask you if you want to restart now
or later, restart then, on startup scandisk might come up and try to scan the pc, just let it do its thing, then when it boots up
log in and right click on your desktop, click properties, then in the themes tab make sure it says modified theme in the
dropdown, then go to the appearance tab and in the windows and buttons dropdown, make sure it says Mac OS X, then hit
Apply and exit, then if the start/taskbar didnt move to the top, right click on where your programs would minimize and make
sure that "lock the taskbar" does not have a check in front of it, if it does click on it, the taskbar should have moved to the
top. And thats it, if you want to change back to regular windows just right click in your desktop, hit properties and in the
theme tab in the dropdown select windows xp, hit apply and exit. (Note: The change will only occur on the user you installed
it on, if you want to put on other users just change the theme in the display properties.) (Note: All the files you had on xp
will be accessable through the mac settings applied) (Note: Only under 250 mb will be used with flyakite v 3.0) Thanks

I don't think that this guy understands what emulation is. What elementskaterbla is talking about is simply putting on a
new skin for windows XP. Your not actually running MAC OS X, you just making it LOOK like you are. This article is about
actually running MAC OS X on a windows machine, which is called emulation, not just a new skin. Using Pear will actually
run MAC OS X, what elementskaterbla is talking about, just makes it LOOK like you are.

Well it took me all night, but I finally got Mac OS TIGER 10.4 X86 to run on VMWARE 5 on my Windows XP system using
a non supported AMD 64 bit processor, although it is working, it run's like a slug. I don't have the root password
so I can delete the " AppleTPMACPI.kext " extension file which I think is slowing down the system as it appears to be
looking for the Apple PRAM and causing the system to hang during the interrupts. This developer edition is still in beta,
hopefully the next release will have better driver support and more apps available to run natively. Take a look at:

Hi: I'm having the same problem- except -I'm installing Tiger on my Mac G4 Powerbook. Even though I did a low level
reformat of the internal hard drive in my Powerbook before installation, I consistently get the same circle with a line
through it after the system on the Mac OS X Tiger DVD begins to boot up.
In my case it's not just the system disk that gives this bad result. In addition, any CD with a sysem on it will not boot
including the latest version of Norton Utilities for Macintosh.
Although this is a PC discussion, I thought that the similarities between my problem and johnabrahams where notable
and their solution my cast light on both problems.
Any assistance you can give will be appreciated.
