Well guys its time I let you all in on a secret project of mine
http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y288/reitau/052.jpg

I have managed to get my emulator for Mac OSX 10.4 working! I have worked tirelessley since I got hold of the Intel based software and have succesfully got it to run (within windows for now).

I am working on a boot loader now but I thought I would get some development shots up right away.

Thought you WizD boys would love to play with the prettiest OS in town.

Once I get it to a beta, you will be able to download it from my site.

Reitau.

*confused*

but it isnt even hard to do! you guys ever heard of pear-pc? its a ppc emulator for x86 architecture. kind of moot now because of the hacked OSX86 now works on amd and intel chips.

The thing is that it possible to run OSX on a PC... (i've seen it)

but what he was claiming is that he had it running under windows. Look at his screenshot.

Yeah - I was wondering about doing it so I fired it up in paint shop.

In theory OSX 10.4 should run on a PC, as for driver support though....

Also you cant buy 10.4 as a single disk, only on the latest restore cds.

I have seen the mac os running on a plain jane pc... I think someone said earlier that you can find it on some network.

I have no desire to run MAC OS... (I'd just as soon do linux if I had to learn a new gui.) so I don't personally have it running on any of my pcs.

seriously though. there are hacked versions of MacOS
10.4 (x86) made to run on the PC. theres even a Wiki showing you how to do it. and yes you can get a full install disc of 10.4, i have it....


as for running inside windows, google for pearpc.

dont mean to burst your bubble. but this wasnt anything special.
