Where did you find this patch? Is it on the Installation DVD? The problem is, I don't know right how to use the unix terminal. I'm very good in DOS shells, especcially AmigaDOS which is very extensive, but the unix terminal works different. It's frustrating, I'm the only one of my friends or even the complete neighbourhood who is running MacOS on his PC, cause of machine capability or the missing interest of various OS's after all. Not one here is having a Mac or maybe using Linux.

A real Mac wouldn't be possible - rather less software, no others to exchange experiences, of course the costs - and: space! I already have 10 computers, 5 monitors, over 10 external drives, 25 audio/video components, my TV, a 2nd hifi set, my keyboard, an audio mixer rack and an huge 19"-rack in my room! I'm technic junkie since I'm ten, don't ask what's in my spare rooms and under the roof! The OSx86-solution is a very good way, sharing hardware with Windows and MacOS, dual boot, good hardware support and internet seems to be much faster since today. There's nearly nothing to complain about. Only the graphics problem. The low screen rate don't bother me, but this white-window-problem is very bad.

Could you make me some kind of easy-tu-use instructions for this patch or/and to install some other patches, via terminal or so? I sometimes read the command 'sudo' in the wiki, but I don't know hw to get it work. If it would be too long for a post, perhaps as mail, look in my profile. Would be great.

How ASUS K8N4-E DELUX has AGP port ?????????? %)

It's a K8N-E Deluxe, not a K8N4-E. This board has the Nvidia3-Chipset, 5x PCI and AGP.

Final Cut Pro HD also doesn't believe that is have an AGP graphics card :-((
Hope that somebody does better ATI drivers next time!

I download OMNI Callisto (003) but isn't work for me, and i can't find resolve

Can you install 10.4.6 ???

I'm confused

My cpu is Amd Turion ml-32 with PAE, SSE2 and SSE3 (all reported by cpu-z).

So. Do I need to put SSE3 patch to obtein better performance or I have the best already natively???

The cpu fan is always on. In windows is always off thanks to Rmclock.
I put AMD patches and powermanagement.bundle, but I have a noisy lappy using the nice OsX86.

Hi guys, back again for a long time. Here are my experiences with MacOS 10.4.6 installation. It's running on my Athlon 64 without SSE3. Let's go one.

Standard installation:

- Use custom install. Don't install other languages and printer drivers. You will about 2 GB. It speeds up installation, too.
- Install Gimp printer drivers or get an printer driver from the maufacturer's page if possible.
- install X11 if you want to use UNIX more often
- skip the DVD checking, it saves a lot of time.

Now to the 'Intel.And.AMD.Patches':

- 10.4.6.Combo.Update - Installs the 10.4.6 update. If you don't install it, your version will be 10.4.4
- Intel.SSE3/AMD.SSE3 - Install this patch on SSE3-compatible CPUs ONLY or your system crashes during boot (message: debugger call: panic)
- Intel.SSE2/AMD.SSE2 - Install this patch on SSE2-only-compatible CPUs. Don't know what happens if it's installed on an SSE3 CPU, so let it be.
- AMD.Base.System/10.4.6.SemjaZa.V1.2.AMD.Decrypts - As the name already says, these are special files only for AMD CPUs.
- Soundblaster.USB.Audio.Support - Is clear, I think. If you don't use Soundblaster USB Audio, don't install the driver.
- 10.4.6.GMA900.Support - Graphic drivers for notebooks with Intel GMA900 graphics
- 10.4.6.Radeon.Mobility.Support - Same for ATI Radeon Mobility. Don't use both on desktops PCs.
- Wireless.Networking.Spport - Says all, but don't tested it, using only cable LAN.
- Sigmatel9220.Audio.Support - Install only if you have Sigmatel 9220 audio chip on your board. As I installed it on my nVidia3 Chipset I had no sound.
- VIA.Sata.ATA - Install if you have a VIA or nVidia SATA onboard. But there's a trick neccessary to use it for long.

After the installation I didn't got the 'welcome'-introduction with sound and gfx, maybe the patches are using too much space on the DVD or it's a problem with the graphics port.

Now to the SATA support. It works the first time, but at the next booting it won't anymore, you'll get an error message that the file was installed improperly.
To avoid this, set the file "/System/Library/Extensions/AppleVIAATA.kext" as read-only for ALL users, even the system. So it isn't changeable anymore and SATA is running properly.

Maybe this helps to some installation problems. My problems are still graphics, my Radeon X1600 is still not recognized as an AGP card (the GeCube Radeon X1600 passive cooled is a great card!). Maybe the CoreGraphics problem. The nVidia3 LAN is not supported, and internet browsing is still awfully slow. Has someone a solution for this?

Ok Same question here. I have an hp dc5100 P4 w/ sse,sse2 and sse3 under windows but osx only show sse, sse2 and ss, so this means i dont have 3 enabled?

ah man i just screwed everything up!! i found a copy of the so called "orignal coregraphics file" and replaced the patched coregraphics file i had on my laptop. supposedly since my copy of x had sse3 patched to work on sse2. now it boots but the screen blinks endlessly and it doesnt pick up the built in kb or an external one either. i tried getting in in safe mode but same crap happend. im stuck now. i did remember to backup the original core image on my desktop but i can figure out how to copy it back to its original location. HELP!

hey, turn on your computer but keep tapping F8 until the darwin bootloader comes up. type: "-s" without the quotes. This boots you into single user mode. once it is done loading, you will see instructions on the screen for file access. follow them character for character. then you will have permission to change files. then do this:



that should work as long as you replace everything thats obviously wrong with what you know to be correct, like your username and the complete names of the kext files.

Good Luck.

Hey Guys! Check THIS post: http://forum.osx86project.org/index.php?sh...pic=17767&st=13

It explains how to hack the ATI.kexts to use the Radeon X1600 and compatibles in ALL modes you want. And it's working with AGP, too, exept that the card is only regognized as PCI. I now have on my machine with my geCube X1600 a resolution of 1600x1200 in 85Hz! Resolution swapping works too, f.e. for iTunes. Test it!
Some tips: To edit the files, copy them to another drive and edit them there, copy after editing back to the /System/Library/Extensions folder. The ID of your graphics card you can find in the System profiler.

Here's how to activate nForce 3/4 LAN: http://forum.osx86project.org/index.php?showtopic=12933

Dude! James it worked! Thanks bud!!

Hello,
My processor suport SSE, SSE2, SSE3. Can I install OSX with only SSE3 ?

Thanks for the response

Your CPU must minimal support the SSE2 or SSE3 chipset. Yours has SSE3 which is best for MacOS X. Try a 10.4.5 installation, the 10.4.6 version has some problems.

GreetinX from the Other Side!

My processor supports SSE3 but sys. profiler only shoes SSE2. How can I fix this?

I am using HOTiSO 10.4.6.

Hi Guys! Now it's it: I've got it running: MacOS 10.4.7 !!!

Using the Myzar 10.4.6 Image with the 10.4.7 Update. The image is much better than the 10.4.6 HOTiSO image. It has full support for nForce 3/4 Network and SATA. With the patches for the ATI X1000-series I have now full graphics, including resolution selection and Quartz Extreme/Core Graphics support. Even the 'White-Window'-problem with which I always had problems is gone. GREAT!!!

I tested four different images, this is what I found out:

MacOSX_10.4.4DVDPATCHED_Myz.iso: Installs version 10.4.5, after changing some drivers I got a debugger panic. Not recommended.
Mac OS X 10.4.5 AMD prepatched: A good 10.4.5 install DVD, no problems at all
[??????].Mac.OS.X.Tiger.10.4.6.X86.iso: 10.4.5 installation with selectable Updates/SSE drivers for AMD or Intel CPUs, and some more drivers. But nForce3 SATA disappears after the first reboot, no nForce 3 LAN support, external forcedeth driver disapperas sometimes. I do not recommend this image.
Osx 10.4.6 Myzar Ppf4.iso: Very good 10.4.6 install image. Full nForce 3/4 support. If you want to install 10.4.6, use this image.

I'm using two systems on my HD: a 250 GB main partition and a 10 GB partition for testing. A test partition is VERY useful. Who wants to test AGP Gart drivers, look here: http://forum.osx86project.org/index.php?sh...device&st=0 After installing this driver, my card is recognized as AGP, but I have no Quartz Exteme/Core Image support anymore. Hmmm....




Ravi7791: I had the same problem. My Athlon 64 3700+ Socket 939 also supports SSE3 (shown in CPU-Z), but in the System Profiler it was sonly shown SSE2. Don't care about it.

GreetinX from the Other Side!

My processor supports SSE3, but after installing the SSE3 patched mach_kernel the system just kernel panics. I ixed it by booting with teh installer disc and copying the mach_kernel from the disc to the hard drive.. once botoed, I used pacifist to restore the updated sse2 patched kernel and all was well.. but.. why can't I get sse3 to work?

You will never see it happen.

There are no newer CPUS that don't have SSE2. The original OSX was never x86 archexture. So, apple never needed to worry about this until the Intel chips came in. The Core solos, and duos both have sse3, but Mac bios. So, mac doesn't need to worry much about SSE2, and SSE3. Mac will never run perfect on SSE2 instructions. It was never designed to. And, no Athlon XPs have SSE2.(Which if you didn't get it, no SSE3 either.) That's what made the XP models so cheap.And now, you can get 64-bit AMD athlon 64s for near $100 now. With, or without SSE3.Depending on the socket configuration. And, the clocked speeds in AMDs and Intels case means nothing. AMDs cpus may not be clocked as fast as Intels, but can perform more. Same with ATIs and Nvidias. Nvidias are clocked faster, and can handle more pixel pipelines, but ATIs can handle HELL of a lot more shaders.

The OS X had always been built as x86 and PPC side-by-side since day one. Steve Jobs mentioned this at last year's WWDC. HOWEVER, SSE2 was available quite early on, around the release of the first OS X release.

Hi guys, i have X2 AMD processor@2.75GHz... and it's SS3 Capable: why i don't see on the system profiler? (i see it on cpuz).

I have a Pentium D 940 CPU which has SSE3
System Profiler does not see SSE3 working

I have read this thread and I still don't know how to enable SSE3.

Can someone give us retard-proof instructions on how to enable SSE3

Thanks

Zed

Get a kernel without a sse3 emulator, (usuallly you can do this when you install after clicking Customise, you only slect one patch not both, only the sse3 one)

Kiko - thanks for the info.

Is there a way to enable it after the installation is complete?
A friend of mine customized all my kexts and everything is working nicely now
and I don't want to lose all the customization

Is there anything that can be done after an install is completed?

I just installed the 10.4.7 JAS upgrade and I still don't have SSE3

i would like to know the same. i've got a pentium 4 prescott with sse3 and my installation shows the cpu using only sse and sse2. will things speed up much if i reinstall with a new kernel? i'm asking because having to configure a new installation takes loads of time.

i'm using jas' 10.4.7 osx. the same situation. i've tried amd enabler patch but it doesn't work for me.

hey guys, do you think its the dvd we used to do the install? ive used the 10.4.4 disk and it doesnt give me an sse2 or sse3 option but my 10.4.6 disk does, but 10.4.6 never works correctly after install. i have a pentium d 945 and it has sse3 under windows. ive also tried copying the sse3 package from the 10.4.6 disk but it totally screws up my osx.

Is there any benefit to using a SSE4 processor?
I mean a SSSE3... I really wish intel stuck with SSE4 label, have you tried saying SSSE3 out loud... jebus

I finally got SSE3 to work with my Pentium 4 630 3Ghz. I've got a Asus P5GV-MX with 2GB ram and a couple of SATA drives. I'd used this CPU chip on another motherboard with an old Goatsex DVD and had SSE3, but when I bought an ATI X1600 PCIe card I found the old MB had a bad PCIe slot and the onboard sound and X200 were not supported.

Put this rig together and the onboard nic, sound, sata, usb work great. I added a cheap PCI firewire card and have front and back firewire and usb in this Sonata case. The X1600 is supported by Jas 10.4.7 (what a dream job - Jas the Man!). Everything works if I install and just choose the SSE2 patch. The SSE3 patch stopped the machine from booting and I got the blinking cursor. Spend a couple days reading and working on activating the boot partition - that's not it for me.

This motherboard bios has an option under Advanced/CPU Configuration/Max CPUID Value Limit - Mine was enabled. I disabled the option and was able to install 10.4.7 with the SSE3 patch and boot fine. When I re-enabled the option I got Kernal Panics. Cool, turn it off...

The description of the option from ASUS: Enable to Boot Legacy OSes unable to support CPUs with extended CPUID functions.

I guess thats for an OS that doesn't deal with hyperthreading or the prefetch or something?

Now I'm stoked! Got a 91.84 with xBench 1.3 and I'm looking at the Jas 10.4.8 for SSE3 update right now:)

One nice thing about this MB is the F8 option at post brings up a boot selector to choose which drive to boot from. I set up the Mac drive as the default in the bios, but can just choose the WinXP drive on the fly without going into the bios and changing the drive order. No partitions or boot loaders to install, configure and deal with later... You can still use the F8 key for Safe Boot with XP if you wait until the post is done.

I love the Macs, but my old Dual G4 is getting a little long in the tooth and I'm not going to buy a MacIntel until the 3rd generation Intel CPU's are in next spring.

You guys have saved my ass on every turn and decision. I read and read, now I can't stop crowing:)

Is system profiler showing SSE3?

Yes, it seems to have the whole alphabet of instruction sets.

PAE is definitely required, isn't it? But how can I make VMWare support this? Even if I add PAEVM = true to my .vmx-file, it still comes up with the same old error.
I have a Pentium M 1.3GHz Banias.

@idkfa- sorry mate- i think for older pentium M models- you have to install em natively..

You have to have at least SSE2 for native install

I don't know whereelse i can ask this but i hope someone with some good knowlegde can reply.

I've installed the 10.4.7 JAS iso with SSE2 but .. i recently found out that my CPU has SSE3 also (but isn't showing in the "system profiler" (maybe because i didn't install the SSE3 package?))

I've also installed the 10.4.8 package .. JaS.10.4.8.Update.Intel.SSE2.Only.pkg

Can i upgrade to the SSE3 package over the current package without losing anything or breaking something.

The other question is .. what are the advantages..

Question for you all... I'm about to install 10.4.6 (Jas's), the 10.4.7 update & the 10.4.8 updates. My cpu has SSE3, but I have a Dell and I think I read somewhere that I still have to install just the SSE2 patches, is that right? I read it awhile back and can't really remember the thread, so I need to make sure before I take the plunge... thanks.

Nevermind. I did confirm it, but Jas just uploaded 10.4.8 full install and it supports SSE3 on Dell's, so looks like I have some downloading to do...

you can get OSX 10.4.7 or older versions if you want. You just have to fall back to SSE2 Kernel. Bear in mind , SSE3 is still there and you could run iTunes and many other programs without a hitch !

do you know where can i find a sse3 > sse2 patch?

the Maxxus.tk was closed, and i`m looking for...

my CPU is a Pentium M 740 1.73 with sse2 instruction...


thanks!

ok guyz i have been reading a lot and can't find a solution for my problem... my processor supports SSE2/SSE3 and i checked the SSE3 kernel while installing but still when installing finishes i get SSE2 only.. i'm using Jas 10.4.6 DVD ... what could be the problem.. plzzzzzzz help
i want to enable QE/CI and get better video play back..

mother board
p4p800SE
video card Asus V8200 Geforce 3 64MB...
P4 3.0 Ghz HT prescott

and the weird thing is, when i update my 10.4.6 to 10.4.8 i use Jas SSE3 combo update and it works fine... but still no SSE3... and if use JaS SSE2 combo update still it works fine..

anyone Please!

man, screw this... I can't take it any longer, I'm getting a MacBook... I don't like Windows, and Vista has just pissed me off. You have to have a new 2007 system to even think about running it...I'm making the switch...although, it will probably be a switch to tri-boot with OSX, Vista, and Linux... you just can't get around today without windows... or... what would you all suggest? If I was to get a new PC laptop, which would be the best for running OSX natively?

I had it running on a pentium 4 willie core cpu with sdram...it was slow as hell but it ran

Hey man, i have the same exact mobo for my Hackintosh. Everything works great, out of the box, u used the jas 1.4.6 insall dvd. yeah at first i was having the same issue, i chose the sse3 patch, and the system didnt boot, i chose the sse2 patch and everything works fine. My cpu is a P4 @2.66ghz it does have sse3. i know that sse3 is working on my install because itunes 7, etc work smooth as butter. (my old install on an AMD64 3000+ sse2 only, was quite slugish and couldnt run itunes 7) Question, have u tried overclocking your P4? i tried going to 3.2ghz, the BIOS saw it, but for some reason the mac wouldnt boot, the HD couldnt be found. went back to 2.66ghz and works just fine. im waiting for the 10.4.8 iso to finish..so i can update, maybe my system profiler will show SSE3...but other than that, this is like having a brand new mac for like $300. keep in mind that im comming from a Tibook 550 and a B&W G3 so this feels extremely fast to me...just out of curiosity what FW PCI card are u using? im in the market for one too...

hello everyone, i'm new here and i'm sorry if i sounded really newbish or retarded. it just that this is too new to me and i've never done this before
i currently have the 10.4.3 build 8f1111 patched with wesley's patch osx
but i'm not too sure if my hardware is compatible for this change
this is the spec for my pc


sorry!
i just saw my board on the HCL 10.4.1 and not on the 10.4.3 so i'm just wondering
i'm a little confuse and just needed some small pointers

thanks in advance

hi guys! what about the mobo P4PE with a P4 SSE2 cpu, 2 sata hard disk (non raid, but attached to the 2 sata connectors of the promise controller), ati 8500 video card and the broadcom gigabit ethernet controller?
do you think i will be able to put osx on it?
i'm asking to know if this mobo works and with which release, 10.4.8 is too much for it?
i know also i will not have qe/ci working with 8500, but wanna try sse2 because on my second pc (the one in the sign), all is working quite well.
thank you and bye.

Hello,

YES, P4PE may run Jas 10.4.8.ppf2 and successfully update to 10.4.9 (using some Jas10.4.8 kexts)
- LAN, You MUST use a modified version of AppleBCMEthernet.kext (simply add the DeviceID 16a6 in the info.plist file)
(I've added 1645 and 1646 too, because those are 5701 and 5702 cards and the kext could support them)
- Embedded Audio (works using a patched version of AppleAC97Audio kext... try to attach the loudspeakers to the mic (light red) hole)

NO, I've not found ANY way to use the Promise 376 embedded controller, so You MUST use a parallelATA hdisk

I don't know about ATI, but You may simply install Natit and get the card working...

good luck!

Yes and no. Yes you can run VMWare on say an AMD barton core XP2600+ family 6 modle A stepping 10 processor and run VMs all day if they are Linux, Windows, Sun Solaris, Unix etc. But OS X calls for SSE2 or higher and without a patch that removes this call in darwin I think we are basicly shopping for a new processor (and MB).

I was told 10.4.8 may be able to over come this restriction but I am still downloading. Any info would be greatly apreciated.

AJ.

Angus,
It sounds like your info is a bit out of date. SSE3 emulation is now built into the kernel to support SSE2 processors such as Dothan cores, etc. There are a lot of prepatched distributions of OSX out there such as the JaS 10.4.8 distro. When installing, make sure to select the intel support (and only the intel, not AMD) and you should be good to go. Additionally, semthex and all the other hard working folks are always cranking out new and improved kernels. Of course, be a good sport and actually buy a copy of OSX if you actually make it your OS of choice as there's also a lot of guys working hard at apple to make a great OS and we need to support them.

Just curious:
In Windows, CPU-Z says I have SSE2 and SSE3.
OSX says in System Profiler, I only have SSE2 but no SSE3. But I tryed some PowerPC applications and run very quick.
I guess it is only a problem of info on the profiler.
Could it be?
Bye.

how do i know my pc is sse2 or sse3 ?
in cpuz . it shows MMX, SSE, SSE2, SSE3

goodie, spam

Ya, but will it work on AMD?
