Guys:

 

In case anyone is interested, I have CherryOS v1.01 avalible as a download on my website. It is a G4 PowerPC emulator for Windows. It actually was based around PearPC source code which they used illegally. Thus CherryOS crumbled into obscurity and is now almost a form of vaporware. Click here to get CherryOS.

OK... lets put it this way... I don't know. Many bloggers on the net claim that CherryOS is a piece of {censored}. Others say it's a great G4 emulator. Personally, I really couldn't care less. I just want to keep this piece of history intact.

i did alot of research on both this and pear pc. And i got pear to work. But, i couldnt get cherry to work, although i downloaded the app. I read somewhere that the people at cherry copied alot of code from pear, and stuff. Cherry says they're sopose to be faster, but who knows.

CherryOS was a big deal.. in a bad way. I was a very active member of the PearPC community at the time the fiasco went on.

 

We were not happy.

 

Hearing the name still makes me get pissed.

 

i definately dont blame you, and nice sig btw, but thats off topic, when did you find out about the fiasco/

We all followed before they released anything. We speculated from the start this was a direct PearPC ripoff and in violation of the GPL. The company Arben worked for had already been proven to be lying cheating bastards with a previous product they made that ripped off GPL source.

 

When we finally got ahold of the software we were able to produce output from it that was IDENTICAL to the output of PearPC.

 

For those who were around this line should bring it all back into focus:

 

SPIRO MULTIMAX 3000 (I still have a t-shirt one of the guys made up for it)

and here is the thread from PearPC.net: http://www.pearpc.net/viewtopic.php?sid=&a...p;sk=t&sd=a

 

I warn you though.. it has 2094 posts and comes in at 210 pages... but you get to see some classic Rogabean posts from back in the day... :dev:

 

Man.. it's funny reading back through it and finding some of the guys from here... I never realized were there. Just bumped into a bofors post.

 

here's a classic thing I caused in that thread, my CowDungOS XP/Mac Emulator for GameGear:

I have used both pear pc and cherry os, and there so hard to configure with tiger,i gave up in the end!

 

In pear pc, you had to make your own config files, or you cheat with pearpc control panel -- which didnt work for me any way! Pear pc is jst a small little program that runs on cmd

 

 

Cherry os is a actual program that works, but not with tiger! -- everytime i try to install, i get the nice non-smoking symbol on top of the apple! either way i really dont emaluators!

 

There slow and dont work the way you want! (or well i cant)
