azgreen Posted August 23, 2005 Share Posted August 23, 2005 I know this is a bit premature at the moment (cosidering everyone's still mastering getting OSX x86 to run nicely), but has anyone looked further into running Windows within the OSX environment? It reckon it'll fly due to the x86 hardware! On an off-note, I hooked up a 915 chipset intel mainboard, and everyone is flying... Truly can't believe how well it's running. Quartz Extreme, Core Graphics, SS3, Rosetta... all without a flaw (minus the DVD player, which crashes) All the best everyone, look at the progress that has been made in such a short time! OSX has got me enjoying PC's again! Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/937-windows-within-osx/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peacabbage Posted August 23, 2005 Share Posted August 23, 2005 I'm sure wine will eventually work under OS X... but I'd give it some time Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/937-windows-within-osx/#findComment-5715 Share on other sites More sharing options...
SneakerElph Posted August 23, 2005 Share Posted August 23, 2005 i read somewhere apple was implementing an emulation layer to have windows apps run. i personally think its a bad idea, sicne people will continue to develop for windows knowing that OS X users can do it too. all in all, it means less native OS X software less OS X software != success for apple.

keith04 Posted September 16, 2005 Share Posted September 16, 2005 I'm sure wine will eventually work under OS X... but I'd give it some time If you look at the wiki page, you will find the Darwine project http://wiki.osx86project.org/wiki/index.php/Darwine It still has flaws (listed in the link) such as no sound, and windows XP - only applications failing... worth a try though... Now all we have to do is run OS X inside a VM Ware session running under Darwine on OS X Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/937-windows-within-osx/#findComment-16739 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Bond Posted September 18, 2005 Share Posted September 18, 2005 Yes...there's a little App caled Darwin on the wiki (See above). Also, if you're really adventourous, you could run Virtual PC under Rosetta. That would most likely be pretty slow though, since your emulating an emulated x86 system. Kinda blow's your mind, doesn't it? Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/937-windows-within-osx/#findComment-17120 Share on other sites More sharing options...

blahsucks Posted September 18, 2005 Share Posted September 18, 2005 Didn't someone get QEMU working? QEMU or Bochs for OSX would probably be the best options, considering MS is probably going to do a total rewrite of VPC (no need to fully emulate a P6 CPU when you're running on one). You'll still get the same speeds as PPC Windows emulation, though, since QEMU and Bochs emulate entire systems.

cyrana Posted September 20, 2005 Share Posted September 20, 2005 LOL, don't run VPC. If it even runs at all (does it need altivec?) it would be even slower than it already is on a PPC mac. You'd be emulating x86 on ppc, and that ppc part would be emulated on your x86. hehe. I thought someone had QEMU working, but it is really slow even with KQEMU on linux, and that part can't be ported to OS X.

Cowboy Mike Posted September 20, 2005 Share Posted September 20, 2005 What's the topic? running windows in an VPC or Running Windows applications? i'm confused.

cyrana Posted September 20, 2005 Share Posted September 20, 2005 I don't know, no topic ever goes as scheduled here for some reason. grr. The original poster was asking about running Windows apps on OS X (x86). So, the only solution that runs really anything is darwine at this point, and it doesn't even run much.

paulmoscow Posted September 20, 2005 Share Posted September 20, 2005 VirtualPC doesn't require Altivec, however it depends on Microsoft's network extension, so it installs and updates fine, but can't run.

wintermutecz Posted September 28, 2005 Share Posted September 28, 2005 Click APPLE > About This Mac And tell me which version do you get? For me its the tiger-x86.img donwloaded as deadmoo image i got the 10.4.1 When installing Guest PC (latest version) they tell me I msut have OSX 10.4.5 or 10.4.2 or 10.5 NOTE : I FORGET WHICH THE CORRENT VERSION THEY ASK. How about your dvd installer which version do you get? jalal, In your screenshot earlier, is that GuestPC running on the x86 OSX version or on a normal PPC Mac?
