We all know about PearPC, the first successfull attempt to run Mac OS X virtually on a PC. It has been 2 years since the latest release of PearPC, version 0.4. Now, there is a beta of PearPC 0.5 called "PearPC 0.5pre-snd". This version is the latest development on PearPC and is rumored to include sound support, thus the name "snd".

Quote from PearPC.net:

Today, PearPC.net would like to present the latest version of PearPC, 0.5pre-snd.

This build contains the latest and greatest of PearPC, including (hopefully) sound support. The sound support is still in alpha mode, so, whether it works at all for users is not yet known.

There are two builds available at the moment:

1. Windows binary (32bit edition only)
2. Unix/Linux sources.


A precompiled download of the Windows version of PearPC 0.5 can be found here.

Enjoy! And make sure to share your experiences.

I for one is a full supporter of the PearPC project which is the only legal approach to running OS X on a PC.

Will you try Leo install there?

Wonder if we can run OS 9.2 in there? Can anyone confirm this?

All I know is that this version is legit. I had Panther running on PearPC 0.4 a while back but I deleted the PearPC stuff from my system a while ago because it was taking up too much space.

Leopard on PearPC is Possible:

This doesn't work, OK I know I'm LATE to the show!

LOL...

I hope pearpc is not dead. I just got it running under XP SP2 with a AMD XP 300+ running Tiger 10.4 really NICE!

Has there been any new .exe since this one?

THANKS

How is that? Correct me if I'm wrong in any of this, but isn't running Boot-132 with a retail copy of Leopard just as legal? The only illegal part of OS X on a PC would be if you didn't own a license for it. Now if you're talking about Apple's EULA, doesn't PearPC break it too? Or does Apple allow virtualization? Even still, breaking a EULA isn't illegal

Edit: Haha. I totally didn't realize that someone bumped this old topic
