    Anyone running MorphOS on PearPC?

    PearPC is rather difficult to setup.
    Even following their documentation I cannot even get more than a quickly disappearing windows command prompt.

    I think it was BigFoot some time ago. But forget it - it won't happen.

    Big Foot is a developer, part of the MorphOS Dev. Team. I believe he was the first to show a "proof of concept" screen shot of MorphOS running on the 2.7GHz Dual G5 PowerMac, and has done many other contributions to the development of MorphOS and various native MorphOS programs & games.

    MorphOS2.x is a commercial OS that has each license key tied to one particular computer hardware. How could that work on PearPC? I agree with pampers, I don't think it will ever happen.

    This was QEMU, not PearPC.

    BigFoot care to share his QEMU config file?
    :-D


    P.S. My G4 won't boot anymore. This is why I am trying this method.

    I think it's not just a "config file" but a source code level adaption to emulate a Pegasos II in a way that MorphOS can boot. But it's by far no complete emulation as he said once that OS4 for Pegasos II could not boot (so obviously no RTAS emulated).
    There is some general comment on his QEMU adaption in an interview from 2 years ago:
