PearPC on Ubuntu

NOTE: This is from the previous version of this web site and may be wholly outdated. Originally published in 2007...

Note: I already have Os X installed on a disk image I am pulling over from my windows install.

sudo apt-get update

sudo apt-get install pearpc

copy files (hd image, video.x, nvram) to /etc/ppc directory

edit ppc.conf with the file paths as /etc/ppc/filename for each in conf file...

gksudo gedit /etc/ppc/ppc.conf

...if you don't edit this file you will recieve this "<Error> test/imgs/linux.img: could not open file (no such file or directory)".

I also edit the amount of ram to 512

memory_size=0x20000000

and also, set the cpu to g4

cpu_pvr = 0x000c0201

Make sure to "un" comment both of these values or PearPC will revert to defaults (128mb ram G3)

Then, run pearpc

ppc ppc.conf

Next up, getting PearPC/OsX10.3.9 on the net using this info http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_PearPC#Configuring_Networking ... Update: broken link :(

Cheers!
