Yeah, But many people are calling BS on that.

Does CherryOS actually let you boot OsX through BIOS, or is it like PearOS and runs through Windows?

Hey Blade

From PearPC's website
Limits
While the CPU emulation may be slow (1/500th or 1/15th, see above), the speed of emulated hardware is hardly impacted by the emulation; the emulated hard-drive and CDROM e.g. are very fast, especially with OS that support bus-mastering (Linux, Darwin, Mac OS X do).

Because the author has only access to a little-endian machine, PearPC will most likely only run on little-endian architectures. This shouldn't be hard to fix and the author would fix this himself if he such hardware. (You can donate some big-endian hardware to get this fixed!)

Equally, PearPC will probably only run on 32-bit architectures. This shouldn't be hard to fix either. (You can donate...)

A lot of unimplementated features are fatal (i.e. will abort PearPC).

Timings are very still a little bit inaccurate. Don't rely on benchmarks made in the client.

PearPC lacks a save/restore machine-state feature.

No Altivec support yet but being worked on.

No LBA48 (but LBA). Currently no support for hard disks greater than 128 GiB. Disks > 4GiB are not tested very well.

I don't think it will work with a 64.....

No, it won't run on Windows XP x64, but since 64-bit processors are back compatible I should be fine.
