It doesn't launch
I run OS Tiger in VMware Workstation with connected Leopard as a virtual disk.

I download "Marvin's AMD Utility", unpack, lauch .app and� nothing.
I even tried to run it in terminal ("open M*.app") and it (terminal) says nothing too.

In the properties I see Architecture "Intel, PowerPC", but not AMD or something. Aslo I cannot launch other applications like Joost, Twitterific of iTunes, which I downloaded for testing.
Can anybody help me?

Hi, im trying to launch your app but it exits with the errormsg that it cannot run on my platform.
Im running Zephyrs Leopard 10.5.2 rev2 and your patcher is already preinstalled ...

profiler says about my processor:

Modellname: Mac
Modell-Identifizierung: System Product Name
Prozessortyp: AMD Athlon™ 64 Processor 3700+
Prozessorgeschwindigkeit: 2.2 GHz

Boot-ROM-Version: Hack.88Z.int.0sh.061193037 (Phoenix Technologies, LTD)

Can someone give me a pointer on what is going wrong? How would i have to patch this app manually?

Hi, Marvin runs, finds several CPUIDs and outputs a AMD.Patch.Folder on Desktop. But there`s just Decrypts, Logs and Patches subfolders. No Patcher anywhere. What gives?

Thanks!

[stooovie]

I`ve found the patcher in Package, never mind.


BUT! when I try to run marvin in the same Leopard install that I want to be patched, it says that there are no encrypted binaries (which there aren`t), but there are 37 CPUIDs. Is it so that Marvin can patch only encrypted binaries? Thanks!

Don't feel bad, i'm wondering the same thing... I'm new to this stuff as well.

[ImperfectSense]

I recieved the following error when trying to patch OS X 10.5.5:

+File PATCHED successfully -- spuid address 002bb8dd patch_address: E308DD
**** err059 - cpuid patch - patch verification ERROR
* -- patch address: E6142C base address: 00002790 cpuid address: 002ec42c
* -- i386 offset: 00B76000 text offset: 00001790
* -- Found bytes: 670f Search bytes: 0fa2

and then it proceeds to undo all of the patches it made prior to that.

Any idea what my next step would be?  Or is it just a bad 10.5.5 image and I gotta go find another one?

[Crox]

The app doesn't launch in tiger... am I doing something wrong?

[jaxparo]

Doesn't even launch for me in 10.5.6? Here's the crash log just in case Marvin reads this:

Good time all, I have a Toshiba Sattellite A135-S4487.  
The problem here is, put the MAC OS X and windows 7, but for Macau Wi-Fi module for the Intel 3945 chipset drivers are no where to put the system off.
And the crux of the matter, found the Wi-Fi module with a chipset from Broadcoma BCM4311 driver has seen both systems, but the Wai-Fai vklyuchaetsya not through the switch is included without emotion. Clicking fuktion + F8 does nothing, tried hard to second place with native whist drive did not help.

Can this unit to the parent as to set the windows and MAC it normally seen, and that it worked properly?  
How can I re-ask the BIOS to see it as their own?

or how can I do for everything to work?

Hi,
after opening the Utility and type in my passwort, the Hack freezes. So, is it possible to add the functionality to create  the "Package" from commandline? Maybe the program just needs to be recompiled in Xcode 3 to work, is the  creator around and could try to recompile it?
Could anyone provide some else way to patch the cpuids?

[altima]

hey folks! did any of you manage to patch the 2009-005 security update with this app? I failed: it could not decrypt something encrypted =((( my amd-machine has a tiger (10.4.11) running on it.

[deesto]

Unfortunately this app has frozen my machine every time I've tried to use it in every release.

Excuse me if I sound retarded but I'm still lost here.

I have a working Tiger 10.4.10 install (see sig) and would like to know what exactly I have to do after getting the Leopard DVD.

Thx

You forgot Step 1.5: Reboot your machine by hand, as it has just locked up completely.  Return to Step 1.

DON'T PANIC!

Folks - let's put on our thinking caps.

Marvin's utility runs on OSX.  So, to run it, you need to have a running OSX installation.  And if it is running, it doesn't need Marvin's utility.

So, you need an installation of OSX that isn't running for Marvin's utility to patch.

To summarize - one OSX partition with OSX that runs and another partition with an OSX installation that needs to be patched.

And neither partition has to be Leopard.  You can patch 10.4.6 if that is what you desire.

I have to say that I TOTALLY agree with you.

I have an  AMD processor PC with several OS (windows vistax64, Windows 7_x64, SuSe 11.1_x64, XPx64 and Ubuntux64).

I created another partition to install Mac OSX 10.6.0, the one created by "hazard".

It installs but once it reboots it gets the "PANIC attack", and how I suppose to apply this Marvin patch if I for starters can not have a running Mac OSX system ???????

I can't say that I totally agree with all of this (I have seen Marvin's AMD Utility work on a machine with a single OSX partition; it just doesn't work on mine), but I do agree that it would be nice to have something that allows you to boot into the partition so you can make adjustments, instead of requiring that you boot into the partition first before making adjustments with the utility, which is what you need the utility for in the first place ... if that makes any sense.

i have a suggestion, but highly improbable...
install *any* version of osx in a virtual machine, and run the patcher there.
I know this sounds dumb, but I have a VM of windows just to run keygens
