Why is the OSx86 Database so out of date?
oldtopman replied to MyRightEye's topic in Forum Information and Feedback
So how does the database work? Do you need help on it? -
Can I change my monitor's splash screen?

AFAIK can't be done. -
How to convince my Dad to let me use my macbook pro to school
oldtopman replied to Mr.Techie456's topic in Thunderdome (Random Stuff)
Do they have any hairspray? That is very good for making bombs. Watch out for that. There is something even more dangerous that most terrorists have. I'll tell you (go away terrorists). Water and Electricity. (Hydrogen Gas by electrolysis) -

oldtopman replied to MyRightEye's topic in Forum Information and Feedback
Because nobody is certain how the database works. It needs a clean wipe and an accompanying post saying post your setup AND the details/what you had to do/if you are putting it up there because it is incompatible. -
Use gParted. If you need specific instructions, I can give you them.

MacBook Air expected at 'Back to the Mac' Apple event tomorrow
oldtopman replied to Ed's topic in Front Page News and Rumors
Another OSX to hack and support... I suppose this is the death os 10.4.X and a "goodbye" to our dearly beloved PPC macs. ;( -
new hackintosh build
oldtopman replied to one9092002's topic in Buying Thoughts, Reviews, and Recommendations
Here is the Gold Standard. All of the parts are %100 compatible. Go for it! Link Everything you specified should work without needing really specific parts. Good luck finding a compatible mobo though. Also, there is no such thing as a %100 compatible hackintosh. -

Dual Boot WIN7 and Snow Leopard OSX: it works for half!
oldtopman replied to Mett's topic in New Users Lounge
Try marking the OSX partition as active. If that doesn't work, undo what you just did and read on. I don't know how to do this but... I believe this is one of those mysterious errors caused by a "chainloadapolloza". Try removing one of the bootloaders. -
I cannot install any kind of OS X on this AMD computer - please HELP!
oldtopman replied to jeanpave's topic in OSx86 10.5 (Leopard)
Snow Leopard won't work on your setup because by default, it doesn't support IDE. You will have to use Leopard. -
Beginner hoping to learn post tweaking of OSX Install
oldtopman replied to kbtarl's topic in OSx86 10.6 (Snow Leopard)
You can learn about this kind of stuff by reading things like this forum. There is no definitive "guide" and wikipedia can contain only so much info. Install chameleon after you boot your computer. If that doesn't work, we'll need to see the guide you followed. --oldtopman-- -
" The last hope " at least now somebody help me ...
oldtopman replied to meabhijeet's topic in OSx86 10.6 (Snow Leopard)
So after you reset your computer, you get this screen? Is this after the BIOS? When it tries to boot the HD? I need more details. -
Problems running Marvin's AMD Utilities
oldtopman replied to liang3404814's topic in New Users Lounge
Please don't bump as it is not allowed. If you do choose to do so, please do not bump within 24hrs of making your original reply. Try a different source for your download. -
Use Puppy Linux to mount the OSX drive (you will need to specify it manually, look at gparted for more info) and then you can edit.

Asking the obvious: Did you try re-downloading it?
