XQYZ Posted February 5, 2009 Share Posted February 5, 2009 Very few motherboards support boot chimes (music) on boot, so it's very unlikely. I guess we just have to stay with our BIOS beep instead.... LOL OT really, but does you MB actually beep when you turn it on? Never had one that did that and it would drive me nuts if it did. I mean, seriously why would it need to beep? So that even the dumbest idiot would notice when the PC is actually turned on (in case he misses the sound of the fans and the brightness of the display)? OnT: This is really cool, but I don't really need it as I'm not dual booting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Running With Scissors Posted February 5, 2009 Share Posted February 5, 2009 Motherboards have all kinds of beeps if i recall. Their are individual ones to tell between types of hardware faults. RAM, Processor etc. One beep means all is well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MGJulius Posted February 6, 2009 Share Posted February 6, 2009 I'm not to fond of the chameleon on the top...if they could make one that emulates the mac bootcamp bootloader that would be amazing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dense Posted February 6, 2009 Share Posted February 6, 2009 Theme support was added for those that want a bootcamp theme. It can't be included by us because its would be a copyright violation. To stay legal it has to be this way. It shouldn't take anyone longer than a few hours to create a bootcamp theme either (just copy some files to the same volume as chameleon is installled on).

cmdshft Posted February 6, 2009 Share Posted February 6, 2009 But what about the chime? Is that possible to do in the future maybe? This would really begin to bridge the gaps as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JaE-V Posted February 6, 2009 Share Posted February 6, 2009 I hope that the countdown will be added automatically instead of having to add it to the Boot.plist... Hopefully I'm curious how the images will be implemented as well. Will the images need to be built-in to the bootloader somehow or will there be a directory you can just drag and drop. I'll be all over making a bootcamp theme. Also, forgot to ask the mother of all questions... WILL WE BE ABLE TO PLAY THE MAC BOOT SOUND WHEN THE BOOTLOADER STARTS? -Stell I'm with stell, i want the damn boot chime lol Looks great however Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
derekreid Posted February 6, 2009 Share Posted February 6, 2009 OT really, but does you MB actually beep when you turn it on? Never had one that did that and it would drive me nuts if it did. I mean, seriously why would it need to beep? So that even the dumbest idiot would notice when the PC is actually turned on (in case he misses the sound of the fans and the brightness of the display)? I think the chime appeal is more the nostalgia than it actually being necessary to tell if the machine turned on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
