ive got it but it says unknown image file format

[cajuncoon]

you must use the new ultraiso and go to the silverloonking cd with the arrow pointing right and click convert to iso

or you can use soem versions of magic iso but ultra is better even though it takes longer to open and save files

use the most recent version. don't try to burn as a dmg, u have to convert it first to ISO.

As long as it's not bootable, you can burn it with Nero. Burn --> image file, select the .dmg and there's something in one of the tabs where you can specify that it's a HFS image. Then you can burn it.

I tried doing both. I used ultraiso to convert as previously mentioned and burned the iso with nero. I dont have a pentium test bed so I stuck with just the hardwrae error message at boot
I believe you will have to get a key for ultraiso for the 300mb burn limit though

I have tried converting with UltraISO and then patching with SSE3patch. I still get the "Platform not supported..." message after I burn the .iso onto the disc and boot with it.
On the other hand, if I use that .iso and boot it in VMware it goes fine.
I also extracted /usr/strandalone/i386/boot and the offset 0h4ccf does not contain the patched set of code, neither in HSF nor in ISO volume of the image. What gives?
