PearPC, MacOSX under Windows!

Alessandro Crugnola general , , , , , ,

I was pleased to verify that an emulator of 300kb (less than the flahs player..) is able to run Mac OSX under my WindowsXP machine!
Now i think i will fight as usual against mac 🙂
but at least i hope to i will be able to configure my python/wxPython there too in order to have a way to test sepy there too..

What is PearPC?
PearPC is an Open Source emulator for PowerPC CPUs, licensed under the GPL. It was developed by Sebastian Biallas and Stefan Weyergraf. With this emulator it is possible to run Software, that normally only runs on PPCs, like Mac OS X, GNU/Linux for PPC, etc.

This project is hosted on sourceforge site:
