Requests for the new version of PearPC

Ideas for PearPC use once the macs switch over completely to Intel processors

Not sure which list was best to send this to (was hoping that one of
the developers would read the ideas) so I'm sending this to both
lists, sorry about that .

Well, I'm sure everyone by now knows that in 2006 Apple will start
selling Intel based macs and by 2007 or so plan to completely phase
out PowerPC based macs. So I've come up with some ideas that PearPC
could still be useful for.

1) The PearPC development team could get rid of the PowerPC emulation
code so that the apps are run on the native x86 platform and instead
focus on the emulation of the mac hardware since at least not for a
while MacOS X and above will not work by itself on PC computers

2) The PearPC team could drop the development of the emulator all
together and instead focus on developing a hack similar to the
following (or exactly the same):

The PearPC team could create a pc app where it would burn a MacOS X cd
(so that the person would have to legally buy a copy of OS X first) to
a temp dump on a HD, then the app would go into the dump and modify
the dump so that it included PC drivers (generic perhaps? that way
it'd be less work and there could be focus on specific devices later
on), then it would be turned into a ISO which could be burned onto a
cd and walla, the person could boot off the cd and install OS X onto
their comp

also I was reminded that there's the small issue of the mac ROM, since
you guys seem to have been able to emulate that part without trouble
you guys could create a bootloader which would take the job of the ROM
by in the installers case, starting the installation process, and it
would also be used to start the bootup of OS X once installed on the
PC

[IO/PROM] <Warning> Can't boot a partition.

Hi there

Need a little help here.. I already save image of my
Panther to iso and put it into my PearPC folder. But
still it cannot find (0 bootable partition(s) found).
I tried Nero, isoBuster, Transmac, Alcohol.... All is
unsuccessfull. I even try "force" on the
prom_bootmethod and point to the CD's image file.
How can we make ppc detect it?

Regards
