WinLinMac01 Posted May 1, 2008 Share Posted May 1, 2008 AMD Software Update This software allow you to install Apple updates (almost) like on a real Mac. Keep in mind that at the moment it's a beta version and make sure to have a test partition before to test it. New version of ASU (0.4) - Remove /Library/Updates/* if it contains folders (should fix the bug when "Preparing download ...". - Detect the cpu and change the icon automatically. - Detect if EFI is installed or not and backup files consequently (need some more work/tests) - Show description of each packages in your native language. - Some interface changes. About This Mac Modifier This software lets you modify the About This Mac screen easily. You can put the image you want and change the CPU and Ram string. New version of ATMM (0.3) - Detect if the dropped file is an image or not. - Automatically resize image to fit correctly in the About This Mac screen. - Ask for logout if you dropped an image for the change to take effect. - Some minor interface changes to be closer to the About This Mac screen.

~pcwiz Posted May 1, 2008 Share Posted May 1, 2008 We must have something like this for Intel users!! I remember I posted this idea on the forum a while ago, but I never thought that this would actually happen!

WinLinMac01 Posted May 2, 2008 Author Share Posted May 2, 2008 I remember suggesting this kind of idea about a month ago, but for AMD users specifically. It was a truly a surprise for the all of us! =) We must have something like this for Intel users!! I remember I posted this idea on the forum a while ago, but I never thought that this would actually happen!

iSkylla Posted May 2, 2008 Share Posted May 2, 2008 We must have something like this for Intel users!! I remember I posted this idea on the forum a while ago, but I never thought that this would actually happen! THANKS Zephyroth All updates have been safe for me...so far. I think it's more useful for AMD people because their hardware is less compatible.

Tienneke Posted May 5, 2008 Share Posted May 5, 2008 I've tried running it, but after downloading a list with updates, it throws an error at me saying "variable tout_le_fichiers is not defined".. Is there anybody else that gets this error?

lord_muad_dib Posted May 5, 2008 Share Posted May 5, 2008 i admit i haven't tried it yet, but seems it lacks an option to save what is deleted from the update(e.g system.kext). when a new patched kernel will be out.. noobs wil start asking why they cannot mount pendrives etc... you need an option to backup deleted files on the update package Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/102530-software-update-utility-by-zephyroth-for-amdintel-systems/#findComment-736046 Share on other sites More sharing options...

WinLinMac01 Posted May 6, 2008 Author Share Posted May 6, 2008 A fix is being developed right now by Zephyroth. Please be patient.

WinLinMac01 Posted May 14, 2008 Author Share Posted May 14, 2008 Zephyroth is currently in the works of another beta release. Hopefully by the end of this week, that will come out. The official release is still unclear. Therefore, we will have to wait in what he has to say. =) Good work. When's the final stable release coming?
