Rosetta and PPC Application

[mcdull]

I have successfully installed Intel version of MAC OS X into my notebook computer (Fujitsu S6420)

However, I encountered some abnormal behavior while using it.

 

First of all, I install with the Generic DVD ISO and patch it with the 10.4.2 / SSE 0.5c patch and finally load the 10.4.3 update and Language package.

 

The basic software runs fine and I can get my Display hardware support (Intel 915) with QE and CI.

The audio driver works fine also however with no sound input.

Internal network doesn't work so I was using a USB wireless device with it.

 

iTune 6.0.1 works fine with movie preview. The Safari works fine in native mode with flash.

 

Here are the problems.

 

1. Whenever I switch to Rosetta, the application quite with error. For example, while I start Safari with Rosetta, and if I run flash page, the system stopped and ask me to power down.

 

2. VLC is not working. It just quite after I start it.

 

3. Most of the application to be run in emuation mode does not work.

 

Anyone has any idea?

I can only be of limited assistance but ...

 

I have a laptop with similar hardware to yours (it's a Compaq nc6220 with the same processor and graphics) and it runs most software without any problem, so it is possible.

 

I used the Marklar disk image patched for SSE2. I haven't updated it to 10.4.3 yet so it is possible this is the problem. I might try it over the weekend to see whether it causes any problems.

 

As far as VLC goes, I had the same problem as you. I downloaded another version (http://rapidshare.de/files/6116408/VLC_20050924_x86_bin.rar.html) and it worked perfectly for me.

 

Out of interest, is your network card a Broadcom NetXtreme? Mine is and it doesn't work and so I am also having to buy yet another 802.11g dongle.

 

Good luck.
