Successful PearPC/Mac OS X Install Documented

Posted by michael on from the layers-upon-layers dept.

rocketjam writes "OS News has an article by a user who successfully installed Mac OS X using the 0.1 version of PearPC, the PPC emulator for x86 machines. He said it took 5 hours to run the first install CD but he did get it up and running on an AMD Athlon XP 1600+ with 512MB of RAM. The article has several screenshots of the Mac OS X install and new user set up running on his machine." See our previous story.

    I'd say running 40 times slower than host proc isn't really living up to the hype - my pentium IV 1.4 gHz would still be running slower than my oldest running mac (which can't run OS X, but still), but would still have all the irritating flaws of windows running over it. Why bother?
