	PearPC - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		PearPC is an architecture-independent PowerPC platform emulator capable of running most PowerPC operating systems, such as Mac OS X, Darwin and Linux.
		PearPC is currently in development and is advancing quickly in speed, stability and features.
		The news raised a lot of questions about the future of the PearPC project, because although the project itself is a PowerPC emulator, it is used primarily to run Mac OS X on x86 machines.

	MacDevCenter.com -- PearPC: Mac-In-Box
		PearPC is a program that runs Mac OS X on a Linux or Windows PC.
		The PearPC project had its origins in early 2002 when Sebastian Biallas of Aachen, Germany, ported a PowerPC disassembler to HT (a multiarchitecture disassembler, code analyzer, and hex editor).
		The extent of PearPC's emulation of the PowerPC processor is demonstrated in its ability to run OS X, as shown in Figure 1 (click the image to expand it).

		While PearPC has to emulate not only the CPU but also the hardware of a Mac, SoftPear can concentrate on the CPU emulation and a compatibility layer.
		Additionally PearPC emulates the CPU absolutely accurate (or at least and good as possible..) suitable for running complete operating systems, while SoftPear is targeted on running user-space programs.
		PearPC itself was developed independently by me, without Apple's intellectual property and can even run other OSs instead of Mac OS X (in fact most of the development was and still is done with a Linux distribution as client OS).

		PearPC still has some work to go with speeding up the math routines.
		All tests were performed with a 0.4pre build of pearPC, with only the XBench test using an emulated G4, the others a G3.
		Presumably, PearPC inserts some code between the OS and the hardware to convince the OS it's on PowerPC/OpenFirmware hardware.

		PearPC will increase speeds in subsequent releases; but for now, PearPC just gives Windows users a taste of OS X. The kernel of OS X, Darwin (which is BSD based) is open source and runs on an X86 box.
		The main challenges the PearPC team has ahead of them are: coping with the lack of registers, emulating Altivec, and getting some form of graphics acceleration working.
		PearPC currently does all of these effects in software, so if it can pass the instructions through to the graphics card, speed would be enhanced greatly.

		I gave up on this over a year ago, (because of slow speed) and now I simply VNC over to an old G3 we have laying around the office if I ever have to test any Mac issues.
		Not used this app but I have used Basillisk emulator to run OS8 for a long time which If you want an emu that runs well and performs the job of the whole OS check it out (requires HW Rom file and an OS CD).
		With Apple switching to an Intel Processor etc it won't be long before you will be able to run a Mac OS on your PC.

	'PearPC' looks to mix Apples and Wintel oranges \| Tech News on ZDNet
		A duo of enthusiasts is attempting to buck that trend by launching an open-source program called PearPC that lets PCs built around chips from Intel and Advanced Micro Devices emulate a machine running the Mac's PowerPC chip.
		Although far less established, PearPC has attracted a great deal of attention among Mac enthusiasts, with many rushing out to see if, indeed, their PC can run Mac software.
		PearPC doesn't include a copy of Mac OS X, but Holwerda said he borrowed a copy from a friend.

		PearPC can be run under Windows, Linux and BeOS (only 0.2.0 generic version).
		Note that to use Mac OS X 10.1 under PearPC, you have to use PearPC 0.4, and to run Mac OS X 10.4, you have to follow a special guide.
		Start PearPC again and begin the installation of Mac OS X by following the instructions on the screen, but skip the formatting part.

	PearPC: Mac OS X Emulation Comes To Intel!
		AltiVec is roughly akin to Intel’s MMX technology (Note: there are experimental builds of PearPC that do dabble into AltiVec; check this link for more information).
		The JIT version of PearPC is a bit more efficient, running at a much faster pace of 40 times slower than the host hardware.
		And although this may be a bit depressing, the fact that we actually have a PowerPC emulation environment running in a completely alien computing architecture is well, quite cool.

		PearPC will exhibit odd errors when compiled with any gcc between 2.95 and 3.3, so gcc 2.95.4 must be used.
		Unfortunately, gcc 2.95.4 does not work with the inline assembly used in PearPC when the jitx_x86 option is specified.

		PearPC is running OS Xâ¦ Sure, no one can permanently work with it â“ itâs slow, but thatâs what emulators are known to be.
		I believe the use of this program in itself does not violate Appleâs copyright laws, but as soon as OS X is installed the EULA is violated.
		So the PearPC user base is legally only allowed to use it with OpenDarwin, or other PPC distros of Linux or Unix.

	The pits in CherryOS
		Since PearPC is licensed under the GPL, every developer contributing code is doing so under that license, which means if you are going to use it you have to abide by it or you are infringing on that developer's copyright.
		PearPC is only one of at least a few projects having their code 'incorporated' into CherryOS, but it's sure to be the one with the most lifted by its very nature.
		If the PearPC bunch took the time to apply for their own MAC address this would be the only smoking gun needed to put the bullet in the head of CherryOS.

		Edit PearPC’s configuration file so that it uses your.iso file as the emulated CD-ROM drive.
		Bear in mind that a Mac running OS X directly from a CD is slow, so emulating it is even slower, but the process should satisfy your curiosity.

	PearPC-dedicated Configuration - MSFN Forums
		As PearPC has recently made great improvements speed-wise (in addition to the emergence of the AltiVec (G4) branch/builds), I have started pondering setting up an nLite image dedicated to running PearPC.
		I know there has been discussion of making a dedicated stripped-out Linux kernel to run PearPC, but it is in the very early stages (and appears like it will be for quite a while).
		If your intention is to run PearPC on a dedicated box, you would want only the minimal underpinnings required for its operation (and nLite proveds a great way to work towards this goal).
