blkblt Posted August 24, 2005 Share Posted August 24, 2005 I built a hackintosh computer, and overall it runs great. What I've found is that complex PPC apps like Photoshop tend to crash. Intel-compiled apps seem rock solid, but the emulated apps crash quite a bit. Also running more than one emulated app at once seems to contribute to one or both of them crashing. A lot of times they'll crash on exit. Has anyone else seen that? Has anyone else NOT seen that? I'm curious to know whether I'm the only one. 3.0GHz P4 HyperThreading, 1GB RAM Thanks, /blkblt Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/1077-ppc-apps-tend-to-crash-x86-apps-run-well/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
blkblt Posted August 24, 2005 Author Share Posted August 24, 2005 I'm thinking this is a oah750d problem...at first blush, these apps run fine, but after using them for a while the crashes occur. Maybe a lot of people who report success don't use them for very long 8-) Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/1077-ppc-apps-tend-to-crash-x86-apps-run-well/#findComment-6522 Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyrana Posted August 24, 2005 Share Posted August 24, 2005 I've not had one crash, ever. This is about is over 2 days or so. I've mainly been using Safari, Adium, and Remote Desktop Client, though I'll try some more intensive apps tomorrow, need to bring them in from home (office X 2004, Photoshop, etc). 915G motherboard (on some Compaq HP SFF system) with a 2.8E (has SSE3). All I've done is replace the Coregraphics w/the normal SSE3 one, remove the AppleTPMACPI kext files, and delete the AppleIntel830 or whatever kext as well (it was defaulting to that instead of the 915 files for me).

andgarden Posted August 24, 2005 Share Posted August 24, 2005 I've noticed this too. (FWIW, my hardware configuration is 100% supported) Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/1077-ppc-apps-tend-to-crash-x86-apps-run-well/#findComment-6568 Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyrana Posted August 24, 2005 Share Posted August 24, 2005 What sort of testing should I do to see if I can duplicate any crashes? Just bring in a bunch of MP3s and listen to them in iTunes or what? Like I said, I'll give Office and some other stuff a go soon, anyway.

blkblt Posted August 24, 2005 Author Share Posted August 24, 2005 I replaced my oah750d file with the "original" one (the first patch out there) and things seem to be much improved. I think figuring out a better patch for that file that doesn't crash the daemon or ATSServer is going to be the key for stability.
