Help Installing Mac with pear... getting cuda errors

Post by awoll »

Hello everyone,

I"m trying to load mac 10.4 from a ripped dvd iso. Using pearpc verion 0.4. After selecting the hd image and dvd iso, and booting from the dvd i get a gray background with an apple in the center... and thats it. Every time i hit a key or try to enable a mouse, all i get is

[IO/CUDA] <Warning> Even processing timed out. Event Droped.

I get this over and over again.
I have noticed that after a few mins it will also corrupt the hd image and i have create new ones.

My rig setup is as follows:
AMD X2 3800+ OC'd from 2.0Ghz to 2.5Ghz, Abit kn8 sli, 200Gb Sata drive, 1GB ram, XP Pro SP2.

#New Configuration
# Created with PearPC Control Panel
#D:\pearpc mac emulator\ppc.exe
#DarwinIcon
#No SDL
pci_ide0_master_installed = 1
pci_ide0_master_image = "D:\pearpc mac emulator\4gig.img"
pci_ide0_master_type = "hd"
memory_size = 0x14B00000
ppc_start_resolution = "800x600x32"
redraw_interval_msec = 50
prom_driver_graphic = "D:\pearpc mac emulator\video.x"
ppc_start_full_screen = 0
key_toggle_mouse_grab = "F12"
key_toggle_full_screen = "Alt+Return"
key_change_cd_0 = "none"
cpu_pvr = 0x000c0000
pci_usb_installed = 1
prom_bootmethod = "select"
prom_env_bootargs = ""
prom_env_machargs = ""
nvram_file = "nvram"
pci_ide0_slave_installed = 1
pci_ide0_slave_image = "D:\pearpc mac emulator\OSXDVD.iso"
pci_ide0_slave_type = "cdrom"

Try commenting out the cpu_pvr field. Although G4 emulation is stable, G3 is way more stable.

did try the g3 emu as well, also trying 128mb mem limit. I have done some more searching and all the answers to my issues seem to point in the prasys build versions for the cuda error fix. However it looks as if he took his site down. Came accross a site claiming to be him where he states he closed on Dec. 31st of last year due to funding issues. If anyone happens to have any of his latests builds please let me know or pm for email addy

Thanks

PS.. i was able to get more of it with pear version 0.3.1, however it will not install. the cuda errors go away but a new kind arrise with the cpu write delay.
