Today we're heading back to 2004 to take a look at PearPC - a PowerPC emulator for Windows and Linux. Prior to Apple's switch to Intel processors, it was one of the ways you could experience OS X without owning an Apple computer!

God, PearPC. That brings back memories. I'm pretty sure that Halo didn't launch because the emulator doesn't support graphics acceleration. It's a common issue with OS X virtualization and emulation, as emulating graphics hardware is a bit obtuse. If you can get QE/CI working entirely under software, you've got something good going.

I rmember running it on my HP ZD8000 laptop. I just loved seeing the expression on people's faces, seeing a PC running MacOS X. Priceless! BTW, I coded the initial implementation of a mouse capture/release, just by moving the mouse in and out of the emulator's window (instead of pressing a shortcut key). Unfortunately, I don´t think my code was ever merged as someone (at the same time) did a much better job and rewrote the whole serial/mouse stack.

Halo would obviously require some pretty advanced 3D acceleration, and I wouldn't think that PearPC has that. Even QEMU lacks that today when it comes to PowerPC system emulation.

I'm fairly certain Halo needs OpenGL acceleration. I don't know if the G3 Clamshell had the needed drivers or hardware, but I do know that my Beige G3/333 would _not_ because Mac OS X never had 3D drivers for the built-in GPU (ATI Rage, IIRC). And there's no way that emulator supports anything 3D, not only due to its alpha state, but because _very_ few emulators even do 3D acceleration emulation or pass-thru. There is a new emulator on the Mac emulator scene called DingusPPC. However, it is still very new, and probably won't even be able to run Halo (the upper limit they're aiming for, hardware-wise, is a Beige G3 (including GPU); See comment above about Mac OS X support for 3D), but it shows promise.

Question have you looked at or were you even aware of the MoL ( MAC-on-Linux) it allowed you to launch a pseudo VM (container) of Mac OS inside of Linux on a dual boot G3, G4, or G5 machine and had a strange positive side effect. Often times applications running inside of MoL would run noticeably faster than on native Mac OS but the fans would be much louder due to Linux power management allowing the fans to ramp up much higher than Mac OS would natively allow. the easiest way to test it is using a PPC mac with both MacOS X and Yellow dog Linux (you know the distro that ported RedHat to PPC and innovated thing like yum command originally called the yellowdog update manager) from late 2003 or 2004 installed. I used it quite heavily at the time on G3 nd G4 iBooks and even dual G4 towers. Note the documentation on the site (which is still up) only mentions Mac OS 8-9 but it ran Mac OSX perfectly fine without modifying the OS to get thing like sound working like you needed to do with older versions of Ma OS 8 or 9.

@stickfigure31 2 месяца назад

@12:01 I'm not surprised Halo didn't work. My experience with PPC emulation (Basilisk II, Sheepshaver, qemu, ect) trying to play the few Mac exclusive titles has been non of the emulators have true hardware 3d accelerated graphics, meaning except for simple 2d games I still need to pull out my bulky IMac g3 or g5 tower when I want to play an 3d tittles. qemu at least reports hardware acceleration to the guest OS allowing some 3D games that "require" hardware acceleration to run, but it's all software rendering and often slow. I read online if you can tracked down the correct AMD card (I haven't manged to) possibly requiring a pci to pcie adapter, you can setup gpu pass-through to the PPC guest. Someone started working on Rage ATI emulation for qemu, when using a build of qemu with that, it enables more 3D games to run with software rendering. However it was even slower then vanilla qemu. Ironically waiting for 3D acceleration to come to these emulators, I have seen the games I wanted to emulate slowly be given source ports on github. So one day it might not be necessary for me to this at all.

I since bought 4 Mac Book Pros (last user upgradeable Mac Book pro, I upgraded the HDD to SSD, I had already configured it to have 8 gigs of RAM when cpu got old, I got the first Mac Book Pro with Touch Bar. When Dual Core CPU got too slow, I traded it in for Final Intel based MacBook Pro. Then I traded it in for a M2 Pro Mac Book Pro). I also had built gaming PCs and had game consoles. But I primarily game on PC now. Mac Book Pro is a video editing beast. Yeah I guess could video edit on my gaming rig which isn’t a slouch. But Mac sips energy. Gaming rig sucks 600watts full tilt. 😅 Intel 13700k 32 GB DDR4 3600 (I bought early so DDR 5 motherboards were really expensive, I would have gone DDR5 if they were the price they are now) 500GB WD NVME SSD - OS drive Older 2TB Intel NVME SSD Gigabyte Radeon RX 6800 XT (cheapest high end video card with 16GB of vram at the time)
