Ferret-Simpson Posted February 16, 2007 Share Posted February 16, 2007 I want to see if I can revive HappyMac. Remember HappyMac? He used to sit where the dull grey apple does in OS X.2 and above. I want to reincarnate him, possibly into ZombieMac. How exactly I'm going to go about this I haven't worked out yet, but I want to try. I miss him. Any suggestions?

BlackShadowWolf Posted February 16, 2007 Share Posted February 16, 2007 Hmm Im not exactly sure what you mean, but if you were referring to putting the Happy Mac as the boot image, this software can do it for PowerPC Macs. BootX Doing it for Intel Macs would probably be harder, but maybe the same principles can be applied. As I said, Im not exactly sure what you meant .

Fiendskull9 Posted March 3, 2007 Share Posted March 3, 2007 im not completely familiar with Old World macs mobo hardware but i beleive happy mac was in, the pc equivalent of a BIOS because he shows before any operating system loads and then OSX would overwrite it with a simple image, and then when the os loads, the progress bar starts im sure it wouldnt be impossibly hard, just start digging through os9, and start comparing -clay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
(MoC) Posted April 7, 2007 Share Posted April 7, 2007 Rip the image from this site and put it in BootX. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.ark Posted April 10, 2007 Share Posted April 10, 2007 On PPC and older models, the image is part of the bios. On Intel models, it's a silent splash screen so you don't see the kernel loading information. The closest I think you can get to what you want would be either to try and change the splash image (if possible- those are normally compiled into the kernel or as an initrd image) or get a motherboard that supports boot images (my Asus A8N-SLI does, for example).

XofVerlis Posted April 10, 2007 Share Posted April 10, 2007 You can recompile the sources that have that image in it. It's all licensed under the APSL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
