PearPC 0.2 have button "Change CD", 0.4pre don't. Why?

look in the ppccfg.example file for the key bindings

Don't work!

My ppc.cfg :

## PearPC Configuration File

##
## Start Resolution
##
## (clients that use video.x can change the resolution at runtime,
## so this would be used only for starting up)
##
## format: "(width)x(height)x(depth)"
## or "(width)x(height)x(depth)@(frequency)"
##
## depth can only be 15 or 32
##
## default: "800x600x15"
##

ppc_start_resolution = "1024x768x32"

##
## Set this to non-zero for turning on fullscreen mode on startup.
##

ppc_start_full_screen = 0

##
## Redraw interval (in ms)
## must be between 10 and 500
##
## If you set this higher, PearPC will spend less time doing redraws
## (and so run faster) but feel less responsive. You should adjust
## this to your computer speed and personal
## preference.
##

redraw_interval_msec = 40

##
## Key codes
##

key_compose_dialog = "F11"
key_change_cd_0 = "F9"
key_change_cd_1 = "Alt+F9"
key_toggle_mouse_grab = "F12"
key_toggle_full_screen = "Alt+Return"

##
## Loader
##

##
## Boot method
## this can be
## 1. "auto", prom will boot the first bootable partition found (default)
## 2. "select", prom will show you a list of bootable partitions
## 3. "force", prom will load and boot the local file prom_loadfile
##

prom_bootmethod = "select"

## Example of how to use "force":

#prom_bootmethod = "force"
#prom_loadfile = "test/yaboot"
#prom_env_bootpath = "disk"

##
## bootargs: don't change unless you know what you are doing
## machargs: set to "-v" to get a verbose startup
##

#prom_env_bootargs = ""
#prom_env_machargs = "-v"

##
## This is needed if you want to boot Mac OS X
##
prom_driver_graphic = "video.x"

## This will adjust the position of the initial page table (don't change)

#page_table_pa = 104857600

##
## CPU Config
##
## Processor Version Register
## Defaults to 0x00088302
## Only change if you know want you are doing
##

#G3
#cpu_pvr = 0x00088302

#G4
cpu_pvr = 0x000c0201

##
## Main memory (default 128 MiB)
## must be >= 64 MiB
##

#memory_size=0x8000000
memory_size = 0x20000000

##
## IO Devices
##

##
## PCI IDE Config
##
## Drive type will be set according to file extension:
## .img: Harddisk (filesize must be multiple of 516096)
## .iso: CD-Rom
## Or you can override this by specifying the type via
## pci_ide0_master_type / pci_ide0_slave_type

pci_ide0_master_installed = 1
pci_ide0_master_image = "C:\MacOSX\hdd\panther.img"
pci_ide0_master_type = "hd"

pci_ide0_slave_installed = 1
pci_ide0_slave_image = "C:\MacOSX\cd\macosx_10.3_disk2.iso"
pci_ide0_slave_type = "cdrom"

##
## Network
##
## Choose one of the cards

pci_3c90x_installed = 0
pci_3c90x_mac = "de:ad:ca:fe:12:34"

pci_rtl8139_installed = 1
pci_rtl8139_mac = "de:ad:ca:fe:12:35"

##
## USB
##
pci_usb_installed = 1

##
## NVRAM
##
nvram_file = "nvram"

When I press F9 or Alt+F9 nothing happen.

Tried various keys combinations - nothing works!!!

Usually you can hit cancel, and when it asks you to restart, PearPC will close. Change the CD in your config file to CD2, and when PearPC starts up again, Mac OS X should recognize that and continue the installation.

That's a nice work around, unfortunately since PPC emulation does run a bit slower than a native install if you have a number of CDs to go through or are installing a set of software post OS install that can become more cumbersome than it's worth.

Does anybody have any ideas regarding this elusive Change CD button (or the key bindings, which apparently also do not work correctly)?

What's with all the bumps lately?

Just trying to get some of the old issues that seem to have found their way into the shadows back into the forefront. It seems a number of posts revolved around the Change CD functionality, a while back. And then everybody no longer seemed concerned about it any longer. I'm new to using PearPC and thus just now experiencing these problems which never seemed to have been resolved.

In that case, now you can use PearPC's native cdrom access, and simply replace the CD in your real drive.
