Emulator For Classic Environment Iso To Convert

Setting up the emulator is fun and easy But before you begin installing, there are a few things that you need to assemble.

If you create your own, note that the size of the image must be a multiple of 516096.

This seems to be the best option, and is what this guide mostly reflects.

In Windows, you can create an.ISO from a physical OS X disk using something like MagicISO.

If you have downloaded a.TOAST or a.CDR image, just change the extension to.ISO.

If you have downloaded a.DMG image, try using dmg2iso to convert it to ISO.

To do this, copy the following into a text editor and (after revising it) save it as PearPC.cfg.

You will obviously need to change the paths to the master image and the slave image.

For more notes about what this means consult the PearPC documentation.

Changing that to memorysize0x20000000 will set it to 512 MB.

You cannot just run ppc.exe to get started.

Instead, you must open a command prompt and browse to the directory containing the emulator.

As an alternative, you can create a shortcut to ppc.exe and modify the target to include PearPC.cfg, as follows.

After you have properly launched the emulator, you should see a menu like the following.

To install Mac OS X, choose to boot from the cdrom (once you have installed you can boot from the disk).

Installing OS X is fairly straightforward, but some screenshots follow.

When the installation is finished, the emulated system will shut down.

Note that for Mac OS X 10.3 and earlier you can install a usable version of the operating system just from the first disk.

Just choose to cancel when asked for the second disk If you do wish to install features from the second disk do not boot from it.

Instead, add the second disk to your config file, but boot from the hard disk image.

Q: I launch ppc.exe (with my config file) but nothing happens.

A: This will occur if the path to your disk image or ISO is incorrect.

Check them. It may also happen if you are using a disk image that has the wrong file size.

A: This happens (sometimes) when you try to boot from a DVD image of Mac OS X 10.4.

See the comment at the beginning of this guide.

Q: The mouse sometimes freezes up, and I am forced to restart the emulator.

Lowering that value will make the emulator feel more response (experiment with the number) but it may increase the frequency of cursor freeze-ups (see above).
