PearPC Now Emulates G4 Processor
PearPC – the PowerPC architecture emulator that allows you to run OSX on your PC – has released an experimental build that includes Altivec support. The advantage of the new Altivec support is…
- that you have better compatibility in future programs (Tiger already runs better with it)
- more speed, because of the processes floating point math operations can be handled which makes the client faster
- your nifty PearPC installation runs as a G4
Another site worth checking out is PearPC.net which is a new community site for the PearPC project. Lots of good information including downloads and howto’s can be found here.
i just installed PearPC yesterday and got OSX 10.3 up and running on my XP laptop. works well – albeit a little slow. i’m going to blog about the whole experience later today after i have some time to play with it.
i also didn’t run the new version (that you list above) because i wanted to get the latest “stable” version going first.
definately an interesting app…
