Question about making a batch file to run PearPC
I know this sounds bad, but I'm not 100% sure on how to create a batch file that will automate the startup process for PearPC. I've so far gotten it to boot up to the PearPC selection screen, where I can type in the partition number to boot, but I'd like to be able to set my OSX partition to "Force" so that no intervention is necessary. Any suggestions on how to do this? The example they have in the .cfg file is sorta hard to understand. Thanks!
Don't have to use a batch file
You don't even really need a batch file to make it run from a shortcut.
Just create a shortcut of the ppc.exe binary (right-click, create shortcut).
Now edit the shortcut (right click, properties)
And now under "Target:", go to the end of the line, and put in your config file name, like so:
Then, you should be able to use that shortcut, and it will load PearPC with the config file as a parameter.
As for automatically booting once pear is loaded, make sure that:
prom_bootmethod = "auto"
In your config file. Works for me, it automatically boots up.
Hope this helps.
