    Has anyone tried it?

    Just wondering what the speeds were like as
    it does allow you to run Windows XP.

    Before i get slammed I just want to know cos it would be nice to get every possible flavour
    of operating system running on my PegII

    Regards

    Heard it doesn't work, i got RealPC on macos
    classic running win98 pretty usable for normal
    apps such as browsing the net and flash sites.

    I'm going to try it too soon.

    Yep, some time ago there was a discussion about that on
    the mol-mailinglist.
    It didn't work, don't know if this is already implemented.
    This is "problem" is on every ppc...
    Older versions (V2) under Classic do work quiet good...
    cheers

    Um, why would you want to use RealPC when you can watch flash, quicktime etc directly on OSX?

    First of al i use it because it's possible.
    Then second i think its fun, no pc needed for me.
    Third i like emulation.

    And it realy helped me in past with projects,
    i have made a video DVD from a wedding of
    a friend of mine, without that emulator and
    some pc DVD app i still would be busy today.

    And i also devellop stuff with tinygl on MOS,
    and i needed a good 3D object converter that
    was also easily found.

    My tinygl devellopment is temporary stopped
    btw due to a HD crash, lost many many files.

    Gr,
    Felix.

    Wouldn't be simpler (and consequently faster) to emulate Windows within Linux only?
    Cross emulation is cool, but when it comes to heavy OSs, it screws up...

    It would be easier and faster, just to use qemu under linux.

    qemu has a x86-JIT-compiler, so it's REALLY fast compared to other x86 emulators.
