[DogParkList] Re: MacDopplerPRO and PearPC

[Stuart Williams]

Hi,

Was a bit busy last night, I'll be able to check today after school.

With the PearPC release 0.4pre, speeds are down to 1/20th of the real 
CPU... which is a pretty good improvement. Hopefully future releases of 
PearPC will speed it up even more. I'll definately check 3D tonight. 
Thanks!
