Crabhunter Posted March 7, 2013 Share Posted March 7, 2013 I'm wondering what apps can trip a hack up, so far in my new hack I can use iTunes, iCloud and the app store. DVD player complains about my usb dvd drive (No built in drive). Are there any others I should be trying?

WhatTheTech Posted March 7, 2013 Share Posted March 7, 2013 DVD player will complain about USB DVD drives on real macs - you have to use VLC or something similar. So far on a retail install I haven't found a single app that hasn't worked , or at least the success rate is about the same as on a real mac.

rcork Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 (edited) Not true, managed to do this without. I guess they fixed it then. Originally you had to run sudo nvram 8BE4DF61-93CA-11d2-AA0D-00E098032B8C:BootCurrent=1 when installing PD on Lion. Good to know it's not needed anymore because i had a startup script adding it at boot.
