I did not do this to run Mac OS programs.į). It is not perfect, some thing do not work yet, like sound and networking, and it crashes at times. You will need another 1 GiB to hold the temporary files needed to make this all work.Į).
You will need at least 3 GiB of free disk space to make a virtual MacOS hard disk image on your PC. A lot of this can happen while you do other things, but it is a slow process overall.ĭ). It requires a LOT of patience, and the willingness to do it over if you screw up.Ĭ). I have a very high end Dell, and it is marginal in performance at best.ī). So, if you are interested in trying to make this work for you, read on and I will walk you through an end-to-end creation of a system on your PC that will run Mac OS-X. (Note, when it is running, F12 toggles the cursor in and out of PearPC, but so does Alt-Tab!) Lastly, the cursor support in PearPC has some issues on occasion, and I have had the Mac cursor stop tracking the Windows cursor correctly, also requiring a restart of the PearPC emulator. And it also noted that it fails to start-up at times as well, and I still do not know why, but rebooting it again seems to make that problem go away.
For one, sound does not work and neither does networking, but time will correct that I hope. Well, the answer was difficult, but not as difficult as I would have really expected it to be, and I have tripped over the problems so you will not have to. A quick view of the about page for PearPC at Sourceforge says Mac OS-X 10.3 runs well with some caveats. Of course, a PPC running on a Windows machine just screamed out for me to try and get it to run Mac OS-X. There it was on the net, something called PearPC, which is a G3 emulator for Windows and Linux environments.
