Frequently Asked Questions
Why is it named DingusPPC?
It was intended to be a silly placeholder name. That is to say, "A gadget, device, or object whose name is either unknown, forgotten, or omitted for the purpose of humor".
How do I run DingusPPC?
DingusPPC is used through the command line. You will need to use a Old World ROM image (that is, from the Power Mac 6100 to the Power Mac G3 Beige) that is 4 MB in size. Once the ROM is dumped, you can do one of two things:
- Place the ROM in the same directory as the DingusPPC executable and rename it
bootrom.bin
- Specify the path it is in through the
-b or --bootrom command line arguments
You can also specify the amount of RAM available, what monitor to use, etc. through the command line.
For more information, check the users manual.
Will it support (insert ancient computer name here)?
Currently, it mostly supports Old World-era PowerPC Macs. If we can find the documentation for the requested computer's hardware and there's enough software out there for it, we can add support for it.
