Mac OS X Running On Xbox

  1. Really by stratjakt · · Score: 0, Redundant

    Linux has been on XBox forever. They just emulated OS/X via PearPC on a ~P3 700 (1400 if one of those CPU modded boxes) with 64 (or maybe 128 if memory modded).

    But anyways, what kind of emulated OS/X performance would you get on say, a P4 2.0ghz box with 512megs of RAM?

  2. It's even worse by ShatteredDream · · Score: 0, Redundant

    If it is true that PearPC's minimum specs are a 2.5Ghz processor and the XBox runs a 733mhz PIII. This XBox hack isn't even running at 1/3 the minimum spec of PearPC doing anything remotely usable.
