All4Shiva Posted July 5, 2008 Share Posted July 5, 2008 So with the port of os X to windoze systems, one has to ask where to next? A search of the net will reveal a faked youtube vid of someone claiming to boot X on an XBox but nothing else. Seems to me it CAN be done. The requirements are a working bootloader for the XBox, and a rewriting darwin and the kernal so it can use the triple core PPC XENIUM chip. Rumor has it a bootloader for 360 has been worked out for linux. Step one half done. Second part was a rewritten Darwin, well maybe some of that can be found in the old OpenDarwin project? I really lack the programming skills to do it myself but I am sure there are some really clever macmaniacs out there who think os X on a microsoft machine is definitely worth the effort. (The triple core PPC running native code gets me drooling...) I just don't understand why this is a project with no legs.

m82a1 Posted July 10, 2008 Share Posted July 10, 2008 hahahah u are way off ok 1- the 360 has 3 bootloaders which verify md5 checksums, hardcoded into the cpu, 1 byte is off, 360 doesnt boot 2 - the ubuntu u've seen on a 360 has nothing to do with a bootloader, but the shader hack using king kong 3 different partitions, 360 is fatx, like xbox 1 was, mac is hfs + journaled in other words, 360 is pretty secure, except for those {censored} moddable dvd drive firmware "hacks" Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/114061-mac-os-x-on-an-xbox-360/#findComment-813898 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Genius blog Posted July 10, 2008 Share Posted July 10, 2008 Fakee.... Xbox 360 hackers can't even crack the Xbox 360 to run unsigned code, all they can do at this point is firmware hacks which just basically bypass checks. You expect someone to be able to install OSX86 onto an Xbox 360? Installing OSX86 on a regular PC is hard enough (depending on what type of hardware you have) let alone your trying to install it onto something that peoploe haven't been able to crack yet. Nice try to whoever. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/114061-mac-os-x-on-an-xbox-360/#findComment-813925 Share on other sites More sharing options...
coolied Posted August 9, 2008 Share Posted August 9, 2008 I think it quit a shame that they don't make a version of vista that installs on 360.Now that would Kick Ass. Vista would probably run HEAPS better than PC version. What makes you think a PPC port of Vista (which is written in native x86 or AMD64 code depending on version) would run better than the PC version (which runs on native x86/AMD64 processors)? For one, there is nothing wrong with the performance of Vista when it's run on hardware that makes the most of it, that argument has been a pretty null point since SP1. A version ported to the 360 would probably end up being run through an emulation layer, and would likely end up being slow as hell (with no support for graphics acceleration/etc) - And MS is sure as hell NOT going to write a whole new Vista kernel for the 360's CPU.

dillon31292 Posted August 9, 2008 Share Posted August 9, 2008 Vista would probably run HEAPS better than PC version. I want to call you an idiot, but that would be rude an uncalled for. .......

(MoC) Posted August 10, 2008 Share Posted August 10, 2008 Okay, listen, and listen good: LET ME MAKE IT VERY CLEAR THAT IT IS NOT POSSIBLE TO RUN MAC OS X ON A GAMING CONSOLE, AND THAT WHOEVER ATTEMPTS TO DO SO IS WASTING THEIR TIME AND IS ONLY MAKING A POST WITH SOME STUPID IDEAS THAT ARE ONE THIRD THE SIZE OF THEIR EGO!! I honestly don't mean to be rude but it's getting to me..

vbetts Posted August 10, 2008 Share Posted August 10, 2008 I really don't think that whoever attempts it, should be asking if it's possible, and just instead find out for themselves.

Daft_Punk Posted August 19, 2008 Share Posted August 19, 2008 Please, no more about the "X Y Z Operating system on consoles, I agree with -MoC-. NO MORE CONSOLE TALK. It's pointless and it just occupies space on these forums that doesn't need to be occupied. I don't mean to be rude, but after a while (try 5 years of people asking you btw) it gets VERY annoying.
