just to let you know i have this working brilliantly on my hackintosh [REMOVED]
Name: AppleTV - Mac Version 2.0 Download Size: About 821MB Description: (From Apple) Your computer is the center of your digital life. Your TV is the center of your entertainment life. But what if you want to watch movies, TV shows, movie trailers, podcasts, and photos from your computer on your TV? At $299, Apple TV brings iTunes to the big screen. This file is a DMG (Disk Image) made with the Disk Utility. It contains the AppleTV OS. Also, this release actually boots the AppleTV software (also known as BackRow), giving you a realistic AppleTV experience, but on your INTEL MAC. How-To: Simply plug in and turn on the drive you want to install the DMG to, open Disk Utility, Select the drive to restore to, click Restore, and select the AppleTV.dmg file. This file, when installed, is around 1.77GB. Media not included. Use with the Apple Remote. The keyboard and mouse work, and you can use the volume buttons to adjust volume. Q & A: Q: Do I need a remote? A: Yes Q: Why do this? A: Why not? Q: Why is this 7 times bigger than the others? A: This DMG is completely bootable, meaning that it loads the OS. Also, drivers for hardware were included, such as graphics cards, the keyboard, mouse, etc. Plus, it's not 7 times bigger. The download is about 4 times bigger, and the extracted DMG is about 3 times bigger, but this one actually WORKS. User Name: frontrow Password: frontrow Other Info: Bzip2 Compression. Updates installed. Syncs and Streams from iTunes. Version 2.0 Changelog: Version 2.0 -Hybrid OS, 10.4.9 plus AppleTV OS. -Syncs and Streams from iTunes -Press Menu to start -Quit button added (Quit.frappliance) -Basic Applications included. Version 1.1 -Deleted some unnecessary files. Compressed using Bzip2. Version 1.0 -First Release. Known Issues: Resolution is set low after using BackRow (AppleTV) Solution: ?

Does this version need things like SSE2 and everything else a regular hackintosh?

so this is "take 2" right? I tried this on my badaxe2 and it won't boot. Anything you did different than the readme suggested?
