manuel Posted August 25, 2006 Share Posted August 25, 2006 first off it is illegal to do it, as Apple MacOS is only licensed for their hardware. secondly a quick google search comes up with osx86project.org have fun and hope you don't get caught :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moonlit Posted August 25, 2006 Share Posted August 25, 2006 Alternatively if you don't have a CPU the supports SSE2/SSE3, check out PearPC... it runs the PPC (G3/G4) version of MacOS X and works like a charm! All that pretty-ness... You can even get online with it! You don't have to worry about drivers either and your PC doesn't have to have specific hardware to run it... it's teh awesomeness! Also AFAIK doing this isn't actually illegal, though it may break the EULA... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
revolations2525 Posted August 25, 2006 Share Posted August 25, 2006 I have been thinking about buying 1 or 2 of them to play with, so I can get a feel for Mac OS. But don't know if it is worth the trouble. http://www.geeks.com/products_sc.asp?cat=810 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cooper Posted August 25, 2006 Share Posted August 25, 2006 PearPC is legal. The _os_ you run in it should also be though, and that might prove troublesome for some... :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cynagen Posted August 30, 2006 Share Posted August 30, 2006 Not too difficult, waiting for installation to complete from DVD-ROM and the dd in linux to make the disk image you want to install OSX to is a pain. I used to run a dual boot, WinXP Pro, and Mac OS X (PPC) running on top of a barebones copy of Slackware 10.1 running PearPC by default, so it would basically go through the whole linux boot, you could watch it's pretty white text, and then end up seeing the screen go white, and then the apple logo appear in the middle of the screen. It was pretty. It was kinda slow at times, but that's emulation for ya. On a 64bit processor, i can only imagine how much faster it would be.

Throdne Posted August 31, 2006 Author Share Posted August 31, 2006 ok i did what you said and i got the apple screen but when it is all done loading. my mouse is mannettized to the top left corner. so if i try to move it 1 sec later it goes right back to the top left. how do i fix this?

moonlit Posted August 31, 2006 Share Posted August 31, 2006 Try making sure the mouse is on the 'MacOS' screen and clicking... the Windows version will try to keep the mouse inside the MacOS window so if the mouse tries to 'escape' from the window it returns it...

Throdne Posted August 31, 2006 Author Share Posted August 31, 2006 i see what you are saying but im booting it (10.4.6) not run a vutial one. how do i try to fix that. should i be moving it when its booting. so when i get to please pick your lang. i can't click on a lang becuase it stuck up there. i think that would help. it boot just fine. its just teh mouse thing in the top left. throdne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or did you take my suggestion for the PearPC running on a barebones copy of linux? If you took my suggestion, you need to use a USB mouse, and make sure the GPM is loaded so the mouse will work in the console, and thusly in turn, in MacOS, if you're using the PS/2 plug type, I don't know how to get that working, USB worked fine for me. If GPM is running, try removing it from startup, let OS X initialize the USB devices itself rather than the computer making them ready before hand.

Bigbro69 Posted September 3, 2006 Share Posted September 3, 2006 If you can't work out how to do it, here's a few simple steps. 1) Unplug power cord. 2) Throw power cord in bin. 3) GTFO. Have a nice day. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
