The Subject is not allowed here I suppose !!!

GX earned his 2nd or rather 3rd ban because of discussing this here at this forum

Charan · 25-07-2008, 01:56 AM

do Ex-hackintosh users qualify ?

Charan · 25-07-2008, 02:10 AM

^^ yes, he was one ex user

Apple TOS explicitely prohibits the use of Mac on anything but apple hardware. So Hacintosh is illlegal and any discussions pertaining to osx86 isnt allowed over here.
I am reopening this thread since it strictly doesnt deal with methods of hacking osx.

Thanks buddy. Thieves now continue

The most important question is : Who uses it as their primary OS ? And how good/stable is it for day to day usage ?

**MetalheadGautham** · 25-07-2008, 07:44 PM

Here is what I found about it:

1. No SATA drivers, only IDE ones available
2. Can't use PS/2 Keyboard and mouse
3. Updating OS really a big issue

I am not sure of the first point, weather its been fixed or not. any ideas ?

1.As far as I know Leopard can't be installed on IDE HDD;you need SATA and in some cases(JMicron IDE controller) you also need SATA DVD driver for installation. So Leo is more SATA friendly

2 & 3 valid points

None of those points has nothing to do with Mac. Those may be hacintosh issues.

And since Apple don't provide any demo; I had to setup a demo myself. Want to make sure I like it and it serves my purpose before I buy one. Honestly, running Hacintosh is no fun.

True.

well, I think the first two used to be issues once upon a time... I remember hearing of them.

iMav · 25-07-2008, 08:35 PM

SATA was an issue, PS/2 was never an issue.

really ? but a friend of mine bought a USB keyboard or mouse (forgot which) since the ones he already had didn't apparently work. I am just guessing they were PS/2. If not, any ideas ?

As i said earlier Leo is more SATA, USB friendly than IDE/PS2

AMD 4400+ X2, 2 GB RAM, XFX 8800 GT, AMD 690 G chipset, WD 250 GB SATA II, every thing works.. PS2 keyboard also.. so no probs here.. the only thing that bothers is that the copying from DVD RW is at 2 MBps so is the writing.. and installing my HP LaserJet 1018 was really a issue as it doesn't has Mac drivers.. so i downloaded drivers form Linux printing and got it installed

Updating OS is not a big issue.. installed AMD software Update.. it downloads the software from Apple's site.. modifies it (remove mach_kernel and critical extensions, modifies GeForce.kext and NVDAResman, search and apply cpuids and decrypt encrypted files).. and update works flawlessly on Intel processors.. Intel users only need to modify DontstealMacOSX.kext.. but now they don't even need to do this..

^^thats sum stuff !

hellknight · 25-07-2008, 10:11 PM

@praka.. dude.. my bro has a Macbook, we live under the same roof (now he's working though) .. so legally I also own it.. coz he's a family member.. i'm not entitled to support from Apple Inc.. i don't need it.. so no piracy here..
