Zephyroth's AMD Software Update in Public Testing{
Source (For download link please visit the original page) QUOTE This is a BETA so don't use it on your everyday partition. Everyone who want to localize it in its native language is welcomed ! This app can do the following : - Download updates. - Modify updates (remove mach_kernel and critical extensions, modify GeForce.kext and NVDAResman, search and apply cpuids and decrypt encrypted files). - Install updates. I managed to update Leopard-10.5.1 to 10.5.2. Many improvments need to be done before to integrate this app in a release. - LeopardGraphicsUpdate does not install correctly as well as some others updates) - Some kext like System.kext are not removed - ... If you want to test it make sure to create a spare partition with a test installation of Leopard !!! PS: German people, don't laugh at me ... I've localized it with the translator widget ... :-))))))) This (especially once finalized) is huge for AMD users, as patching CPUIDs with updates and not applying updates because of new kernels and system.kext's is a huge pain. As stated by Zephyroth, anyone interested should be wary of using this on their primary partition, as it is a beta. iPhone coming to Canada this year states Rogers{
Not a rumor, reported today by CBC. The day has come (sorta)! Good news for all Canadians, including myself. Rogers Communications Inc. said Tuesday it has reached an agreement to bring Apple Inc.'s iPhone to Canada later this year. But the company declined to give pricing details or say when it would begin offering the popular mobile handset, which has drawn praise for its sleek design and internet capabilities since it was first launched a year ago in the United States. Earlier this week, Apple said it expected to sell 10 million iPhones worldwide this year. "We're thrilled to announce that we have a deal with Apple to bring the iPhone to Canada later this year," said president Ted Rogers in a brief statement. "We can't tell you any more about it right now, but stay tuned." Rogers has long been rumoured to be the wireless carrier most likely to offer the iPhone in Canada, as it is the only Canadian carrier using the GSM (Global System Mobile) communications standard needed to run the iPhone. Canada's two other main cellphone providers, Bell Canada and Telus, use the competing CDMA standard. But both Rogers and Apple had been tight-lipped about a possible Canadian release date. There has been speculation that part of the delay in bringing the iPhone to Canada was a dispute over pricing between Apple and Rogers. Apple has also been involved in a year-long trademark dispute with Toronto-based Comwave Telecom Inc. over the rights to the name "iPhone." There are thousands of iPhones already in Canada, but most of these have been bought in the United States and unlocked to work on Rogers's network. The iPhone, which earlier this year added a number of features designed to make it more business friendly, is expected to compete with Waterloo, Ont.-based Research in Motion Ltd.'s line of Blackberry smart phones. Well perhaps for all of us Canadians with outrageous cell-phone bills, especially us blackberry users (myself included) will receive some better options once the iPhone hits the market. I live in Waterloo, Ont. – and reportedly Research In Motion have responded stating they do not feel threatened by the recent news regardless of Apple Inc.’s updated business-friendly iPhone. The Hackintosh: Delivered{
On April 16, Gizmodo published an article reporting that Psystar Corporation was a hoax! So it's rather ironic that one of the first people in the world to be delivered the "I used this machine all day today at work without a hiccup. So far everything is working perfectly (something I can't say about my G5 it's replacing) Photoshop, Firefox, VMware Fusion (I know…ironic) as well as the OS itself all performed as expected"Patrick's Open Computer configuration consists of an Intel Core2Duo at 2.66 GHz, 4 GB of DDR2 RAM, and a GeForce 8600 GT; the machine is reputed to score 3585 on Geekbench. Patrick claims that Psystar's customer service was very good, giving him 3 phone calls to: 1. to let me know it had shipped.Patrick's video has made frontpage on Gizmodo, proving that Psystar has delivered, if only one, Open Computer out into the world. InsanelyMac users, have you ordered an Open Computer from Psystar Corporation? Do you believe 3rd parties should be able to commercialize the work of Hackint0sh and the OSx86 Project? Sources: theINQUIRER, SlashGear, Gizmodo Update: Gizmodo has a gallery of images depicting the Open Computer, including an view of the internals. In addition, InsanelyMac member Stravaganza has created a list of what he concludes to be the components used in this build of the Open Computer, along with evidence to support his claims and a price estimate based on NewEgg.com inventory: Okay, so I did some research and here it comes. The machine shown in Gizmodo seems to consist of the following components (my best guess). Refer this video if needed.
Case: $69.83 = ( $54.99 item + $14.84 shipping) Motherbaord: $66.99 = ( $66.99 item + $0.00 shipping) Processor: $179.99 = ($179.99 item + $0.00 shipping) Video: $71.99 = ( $79.99 item + $7.00 shipping - $15.00 rebate) Hard: $68.28 = ( $61.99 item + $6.29 shipping) Optical: $29.99 = ( $29.99 item + $0.00 shipping) Memory: $69.98 = ( $78.99 item + $5.99 shipping - $15.00 rebate) Leopard: $109.99 = ($109.99 item + $0.00 shipping) Total: $667.04 (v. $829.99 from Psystar) The question is "where is FDD/HDD cables?" Apple iMacs Updated!{
We all knew it was coming. Today, Apple finally updated their iMacs, which have not been updated since last August. They feature a faster CPU, Front-Side Bus, and a 512MB NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GS video card in the high end 24" model. The low end has an ATI Radeon HD 2400XT, and the two midrange-models have a ATI Radeon HD 2600 Pro. The 24" model can hold up to 4GB of RAM and a 1TB hard drive. -20", 2.4GHz, 1GB RAM, 250GB Hard Drive, ATI Radeon HD 2400 XT 128MB. $1199 -20", 2.6GHz, 2GB RAM, 320GB Hard Drive, ATI Radeon HD 2600 PRO 256MB, $1499 -24", 2.8GHz, 2GB RAM, 320GB Hard Drive, ATI Radeon HD 2600 PRO 256MB, $1799 -24", 3.06GHz, 2GB RAM, 500GB Hard Drive, NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GS 512MB, $2199 iMac  Leo4allv3 finished and released{
Version 3 of eddie11c's popular Leo4all release has been uploaded to a private ftp, and should appear 'around' shortly. Leo4all is a 'universal' release and works on AMD and Intel. The official release notes are attached, here are the highlights: QUOTE First and most importantly is a totally rebuilt filesystem. The advantage with this is I no longer had to script a repair permissions from the DVD. This speeds install a good bit for most people. Don't worry if the timer says some outrageous time, as it does not calculate it correctly. The initial package install is very large and takes the most time, but once its done the install is almost done. I still recommend running repair permissions from Leopard once your all loaded up to fix some errors, but none of these will stop the system from booting. If you run it twice you should see zero errors on Intel and 2 SUID files on AMD. There is an install script that crashes on AMD machines causing this, but to keep everything perfect on intel I chose to leave the script intact. This DVD now supports AHCI with more than 2 drives thanks to the updated kext's posted by Cyclonefr. Also fixed this go around is X11 for both Intel and AMD. If, when you close it the first time, cpu usage jumps to 100% open terminal and type xeyes & to fix it. You will need to reboot after, but it should never glitch again. There is no longer a ./RemoveVideo script, it has been updated and is now called ./options. ACPIPlatform: 1.1.0 or 1.2.1. Included in each is ACPIPS2Nub to fix PS2 issues. AppleSMBIOS:I put in lots of choices for different versions based on bus speed if you want it to show your proper memory speed, or if you want your hack to look like a real mac. The default install if nothing is selected is Netkas improved version 27. Options are: DDR667 DDR800 DDR1066 DDR1333 iMac MacBook MacPro Kernel: I have added Netkas 9.2.0 sleep kernel, and 9.2.2 binpatched kernel ny Modbin(Be warned this does not work on all AMD machines! SSE3 CPU is required!). The default install is still Netkas 9.2.0 speedstep kernel. There are also the Stock kernels(vanilla) 9.2.0/9.2.2 RemoveFireWire: For those that have issues with FireWire, or those that just want to speed their boot time a little. This moves all of the IOFireWire kext's to /FireWire folder in the root of your install drive. About This Mac: This is my own little installer to customize "About this Mac" with your processor info. No it does not fix memory speed, you have to do that with AppleSMBIOS. It should work for all languages and should report overclocked CPU's properly. Power Management: By popular demand I added the laptop power management bundle to the install. You will still need to set it up in system preferences. This is known to have a few minor bugs. It may not report the proper time remaining or any time remaining for that matter, so use at your own risk. If you select this please do not select an ACPIPlatform, as this requires version 1.1.0. AMD System Fix: You will notice it is checked and greyed out by default. To take out alot of user error (people forgetting to check it for their AMD systems) I have added a script to detect the CPU and patch accordingly. When its running it will echo your processor information in the install log (if you show all). It will then skip the patch process if your on Intel or patch if its an AMD. I hope it works well for everyone! Bootloader: This option is checked and greyed out by default. It is Dense's script to install EFI and make the partition active. If you already have an existing bootloader (like from Vista) on the same logical drive it will not overwrite it. It will however flag the partition you installed to active, so you will have to manually set your Windows partition active again if needed. Chipset Drivers: (NOTE- JMicron is the only driver that always installs so please choose at least 1 option, some will have to choose 2 [if you have Marvell IDE and Intel SATA for example] ) If your not sure you can click all but 1 Nforce, as they will overwrite each other. Nforce Old - This is the older version of Medevils Nforce(1.0.2) driver. Install this if you have issues with SATA enabled causing a panic. Known to work for some Nforce3 users. Nforce Test- If you have a SATA DVD or do not have issues booting the DVD normally choose the NforceTest. SiliconImage3132 - I have not found anyone that uses this specific chipset to confirm if it works. VIA, SiS, Marvell and SB - Please install this if you are using any of these chipsets. If you have a Marvell IDE drive please install this as they should be supported. I have added many ID's here so I hope they all work! This chioce installs AppleVIAATA, AppleOnboardPCATA and AppleGenericPCATA. Confirmed working for SiS! SAS - By request I added support for this, as of my writing this its untested. Hopefully it works. Intel ICHx- If you have ICH7/8/9 chipsets you should install this. This is the modified version by -Dune- to support more than 2 drives and fix the over 2Gigs of RAM panics. Audio: These choices have not changed much, only added support for STAC9271 by request. If your not sure what chipset you have, please choose AzaliaAudio(for most HD) or AC97Audio. Choices are: ALC850/882/883/888/889 AC97Audio ADI1988 STAC9271 AzaliaAudio Graphics Drivers: I have updated many of these packages. ATI- there are options for: 3850 3870 2600XT(PCIE) 2600XT(AGP) 3870X2 2600PRO(PCIE) 2600PRO(AGP) X1600(PCIE) X1600(AGP) X19X0 X1400 Mobility Nvidia- I have updated the drivers to the latest available from the Mac Pro's and edited to include all Device ID's I could verify. This should cover mostly all 6XXX/7XXX/8XXX series cards. (List of ID's found in attached release notes) NVinject- By request I have added options for different version of Nvinject(0.1.3/0.2.0/0.2.1). If your not sure choose version 0.2.1 with the proper amount of RAM your video card. I have added a modified version of 0.2.1 for 1Gig of VRAM. GMA950 - QE/CI+resolution change with some artifacts GMA950 - No Aritfacts QE/CI but no resolution. GMAX3100 - suppose to give QE/CI(confirmed for device ID 0x2a02) Network Drivers: ForceDeth- This is compatible with most Nforce LAN. ForceDeth-V - This is compatible with most Nforce LAN(recommended version) Skge - Driver for most Marvell LAN cards. RTL8187- Just as it says for Realtek 8187 Zydas USB- For the USB Wireless LAN adapter Tiger IO80211- Some Atheros cards require this Tiger version to work. Default install is IO80211 from 10.5.2 Broadcom- WLAN driver for BCM4306/4309/4318/4320/4324 RT2500- Suppose to support Dlink WMP54G v4.0, may support some others. ViaRhine- Just as it says, for ViaRhine chipsets Intel 100Pro VE- Just as it says, for the Intel 100Pro VE chipset RT2860- Driver for some chipsets like WL-181, may also work on some others. Good Applications: You can choose to install or not, but I do recommend many of these useful programs. They include: Adium AppZapper BBEdit CandyBar Colloquy FireFox Gumby 50c Invisibles KCNScrew KextHelper Marvin's AMD Utility MD5 Pacifist PackageMaker version 2.1(old harder to find) Stuffit Expander Textmate Transmission TubeSock Unison VLC Xbench The Official Leo4all Wiki can be found here. The mentionedAbout This Mac CPU information installer is an absolute gem! Thanks for all of the hard work eddie11c: I can't (and I know many of you can't either) wait to try this out
