A Yuletide Apocalypse

And I did it all by myself! I figured out a super clever way to get it to work… (haha)
[Picture went Bye-bye...]
So yeah, basically, I downloaded Q (Qemu packaged for mac osx) which at first, didn’t work on its own (you can actually download reactos from within Q, but it always froze upon completion.)

So instead I downloaded ReactOS myself, (i happened to grab the one that came with yet another Qemu distribution, which turned out to be .exe files which I ignored… but I think the vanilla version (for PPC) would work just fine). So yeah, then I fiddled with the boot script in the ReactOS folder, redirecting it to the Qemu binary within Q.app. And voila!
Here is the final working boot script: (boot.sh)

#!/bin/sh
/Applications/Q.app/Contents/MacOS/i386-softmmu.app/Contents/MacOS/i386-softmmu -m 128 -L . c.img
This script only works when placed in the ReactOS folder, since it references c.img and “.” (the current directory) relatively.

Now lets see if I can actually run anything in this baby.
Oh, and I’m still struggling valiantly with Darwine… ::sigh::

Update!
I found a much saner way to do things… I downloaded the ReactOS install disk image, and set it as the boot disk for a new pc in Q, and started it up, and began installing ReactOS! Much easier, and much more likely to actually get me somewhere…

Update-Update!
So I have totally abandoned all of this. Nothing worked. I actually did get a thumbdrive-installation of QEMU and I think DamnSmallLinux to work on the PC’s here at school, but I soon realized its impracticality and instead installed a bunch of native Windows apps from http://portableapps.com
Alas.
