Currently no support for hard disks greater than 128 GiB. PearPC lacks a save/restore machine-state feature.Don't rely on benchmarks made in the client. Timings are very still a little bit inaccurate.Those interested in the history of PearPC might want to read about the controversy regarding CherryOS, a knock-off of the emulator that was developed for several months in 2005. A lot of unimplementated features are fatal (i.e. If Mac OS X will run natively on the x86 platform, PearPC's emulation may possibly be replaced by VMware Fusion or other virtualization products.are very fast, especially with OS that support bus-mastering (Linux, Darwin, Mac OS X do). While the CPU emulation may be slow (1/500th or 1/15th, see above), the speed of emulated hardware is hardly impacted by the emulation the emulated hard-drive and CDROM e.g.* AIX for PPC: Some people ask about that. * OpenBSD for PPC: Crashes while booting (accesses PCI in an unsupported way) * Mac OS X 10.3: Runs well with some caveats Use it to boot your favorite Live Linux Operating Systems, Linux and Windows.
This is a simulation of a Classic Macintosh from 1984, running System 7.0.1 with MacPaint, MacDraw, and Kid Pix. * Mandrake Linux 9.1 for PPC after installation: Hard to boot. Quickly create a Multiboot USB Flash Drive containing multiple ISO files. PCE.js Mac Plus emulator running Mac OS System 7 a hack by James Friend PCE.js emulates classic computers in the browser. * Mandrake Linux 9.1 for PPC installer: Runs well The following operating systems were tested and run (to some extent) in PearPC (ie. PearPC - PowerPC Architecture Emulator is an architecture-independent PowerPC platform emulator capable of running most PowerPC operating systems.
