altecmak Posted March 12, 2006 Share Posted March 12, 2006 i just installed the new dvd version 10.4.5 mac os x install disc and everything seems to be working flawlessly but when i go to the system info to get more details about my computer, it does not list sse3. i have a celeron d processor which everybody knows has that instruction. i think the maxxuss patch automatically applied itself during the installation and i want to know in a step-by-step method on how to undo this patch. this will be very much appreciated. FYI: motherboard is a asrock p4v88. thanks!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MacApprentice Posted March 12, 2006 Share Posted March 12, 2006 this has been answered many times, search the forum next time. I assume you used the Myzar patched DVD release, if so, go on the DVD and find the Maxxuss patch directory. 1 - There's ppf-o-matic in there, copy the macosx version to your Applications folder (only the executable). 2 - Copy the mach_kernel.org file in the root of your osx drive ( / ) 3 - Rename it to something short (I named mine "k") 4 - Go to the patch folder in Maxxus solution and double click on the "base" patch. 5 - Now open your "k" file in the destination widget of ppfomatic 6 - Click on apply. 7 - Now right click on your "k" file and change the permission to "system" and owner to "wheel" (I assume you know how to do that) now reboot and press Enter @ the countdown then type "/k" it should launch the custom kernel you just done. If it works, good for you! If it doesn't; I suggest you add the "nonx" patch (the same way you did the "base" patch, don't forget to give yourself the permission back on the file then put it back on "system" after the patch), it did the trick for me. Once you got a working kernel, the fun is just starting You now need to replace the existing mach_kernel with your own. 1 - reboot then at the countdown press Enter 2 - type "-s" to go in single user mode 3 - @ the command prompt type : fsck -fy mount -uw / 4 - now we must rename your current kernel : mv mach_kernel mach_kernel.old 5 - then name your custom kernel in its place : mv k mach_kernel 6 - now type "reboot" and pray Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dark_Elf Posted March 12, 2006 Share Posted March 12, 2006 But with a SS3 processor doesn't the SSE2 patch disable automatically? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MacApprentice Posted March 12, 2006 Share Posted March 12, 2006 With an SSE3 CPU the emulator disable itself (as it doesn't encounter illegal instructions) but I think it's best to get ride of the patchs you don't need. I don't really care about amd/sse3/vmware patch cause they don't give any problems performance wise. But the cpuid patch can mess up some dual core cpu or hyper-threading. The strangest thing for me is I have a NX capable cpu but I need the patch for the kernel to work go figure... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dark_Elf Posted March 12, 2006 Share Posted March 12, 2006 You're right, I think I will remove it too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MacApprentice Posted March 12, 2006 Share Posted March 12, 2006 I just reinstalled OSX and redid my custom kernel, you have to add the AMD patch if your install is already amd patched (I personnaly have unpatched all files and don't use the AMD patch on my kernel but it's a bit harder to do and gives nothing more ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
altecmak Posted March 13, 2006 Author Share Posted March 13, 2006 thanks mac. i will try this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andgarden Posted March 13, 2006 Share Posted March 13, 2006 So I've been inspiried to try this, and no matter what patches I choose, I end up with a cursor against a blue screen. In fact, I can't even get any of the prepatched kernels to boot all of the way as "k." Does this have anything to do with patching the SMBIOS? Is there a way for me to modify the prepatched disc that's floating around in order to end up with a minimally patched kernel? Thanks all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
