Just like in the title, my idea is to make a little linux distro, that could run pearPC (powerpc emu) from command line, it will automaticly start the 10.4 Tiger, goal is to make it look like your running in natively, that there is no emulators and stuff behind it.
Just power on computer, and tiger startsup
I ran to some problems:
1.CD-ROM Mounting
I wanted it to be CD-Rom compatible, i wanted it to mount the cd to .iso, end then send it to PearPC.When you open drive the iso will delete it self.
CD ROM ---> ISO ---> Emulator
2.Adjusting Ram
Some people run 8 gigs, some 16, some even 2, I wanted it to make script that automaticly could adjust ram amount in computer, maybe 512 mb for linux, and rest of ram packed into that emulated 10.4 running in emulator.
3.Adjusting Disk Space
Same as ram, how many free space you have on disk, you will have on disk image.
4.Installer
Script that copies Mac OS X 10.4 + installs grub
General Porpouse for this, is to run old powerpc apps, with a feel like on old powermac g3,g4,g5
