In need of some help..

dj281 · Post by **dj281** » Sat Nov 07, 2009 8:57 pm

I've followed instructions to the detail but when I try to run my config in the control panel, I just get the blank screen with "You can see the output of the PearPC program below.." message at the top.
Any help or do you need the config file first?

Start by posting the contents of your config file. We can go from there.

are you running in Windows, OSX or Linux?
What files are in your PearPC folder?

best,

Hi,
It seems the required file video.x is not in your folder.

Please download the original pearpc release from http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/pear ... 2-jitc.zip
The file will be in the download. Place it in your pearpc folder.

And try again.

Best,
Cat_7

Thanks but it still has the same output

Post by **ClockWise** » Wed Nov 11, 2009 2:29 am

Might I suggest just starting over?

Delete everything. Particularly your config file.

Get the .0.4.0 release:

http://pearpc.sourceforge.net/downloads.html

And make a config file using this:

http://guillaumejamet.eu/index.php?rub= ... pc_cfg.php

And start PearPC from a command prompt (NOT the control panel).

Does the same thing happen?

Same thing happens, the command prompt returns nothing

Heres the config file created

Have you installed OS X onto that 6 gb image? If not, you are missing a reference to your install CD.

dj281 · Post by **dj281** » Fri Nov 13, 2009 4:54 pm

how do you install the OS on to the 6gb image?

Post by **ClockWise** » Fri Nov 13, 2009 5:15 pm

In that website based config file generator, look at the "disks" section.

In "master" select ISO if you have an ISO of OS X and the browse to the file.

You can also use "cd rom direct access" if you have an actual CD (not a DVD... that will NOT work).

Then in "slave" select "hd" and browse to your blank 6 gb disk image.

I think you had this set up properly in the original config file you posted, but NOT in the second config file you posted.

Fix this and post back with your results.

(PS: I will be away all weekend, so I might not be able to reply right away)

check this out:

http://pearpc.sourceforge.net/getstart.html#starting

You have to type the name of your config file as a parameter at the command line.

dj281 · Post by **dj281** » Fri Nov 13, 2009 11:09 pm

thanks for taking the time to reply but still a no.

Post by **ClockWise** » Sat Nov 14, 2009 10:52 am

Double check the name of the config file. Make sure that you are typing it properly. And double check that the config file is in the same directory as the ppc.exe file.

Post by **ClockWise** » Sun Nov 15, 2009 4:59 pm

Also, change:

pci_ide0_master_type = "hd"

to:

pci_ide0_master_type = "cdrom"
