Don Luca Posted July 9, 2008 Share Posted July 9, 2008 Hi everyone, I'm an old user of this forum (maybe some of you remember me) and supported actively the OSx86 Project. After playing around with hackintoshes I decided to switch and now I'm a happy owner of a 24" iMac and a Macbook Air. Enough presentation, let's get to work I want to make the point of the situation on apps working and not in Snow Leopard. ONLY CIDER GAMES REFUSE TO WORK, EVERYTHING IS WORKING SO FAR 7zX works Adobe Photoshop CS3 Extended works AppZapper works Azuresus WORKS, EDIT THE INFO.PLIST FILE AS DESCRIBED LATER IN THIS 3D Boycott Advance works CandyBar works Coolbook works Eclipse works ExtremeTuxRacer works (very fast) EZ 7z works iLife 08 works Limewire WORKS, EDIT THE INFO.PLIST FILE AS DESCRIBED LATER IN THIS 3D) Microsoft Office 2008 EDIT: WORKS, UPDATE TO THE LAST VERSION Microsoft Messenger works Pacifist DOES NOT WORK Parallels WORKS BUT YOU HAVE TO START IT FROM TERMINAL PCSX works smcFanControl works SMS Plus works Speed Download 4 works BUT IT DOESN'T INTEGRATE IN SAFARI 4 SPORE Creature Creator DOES NOT WORK (refer to the cider problem) Stuffit expander 11 works TeamSpeex works TGEmu works Toast 8 Titanium WORKS WITH EVERYTHING, UPDATE TO 9.0.2 Tunnelblick works Unreal Tournament 2004 works (slower than in lepoard) VLC works Warcraft 3 works World of Warcraft works Serious problem are those with java apps... I'd like to hear something from you so we can help each other and work on it. P.S.: I know, Snow Leopard it isn't even a beta but so far I'm more than satisfied with it, especially with its speed... if we manage to make more or less everything work it would be really nice while we wait for the final version of SL to come out.

lemmy01 Posted July 9, 2008 Share Posted July 9, 2008 What java are you using 1.5 or 1.6? I think 1.6 should work Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/114873-whats-working-and-whats-not/#findComment-813823 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Don Luca Posted July 10, 2008 Author Share Posted July 10, 2008 I'm using the built in Java Virtual Machine, version 1.6... there are two version inside, 32-bit and 64-bit but as default it always uses the 64 bit one... there's no way to update, uninstall or replace it this far.

lemmy01 Posted July 10, 2008 Share Posted July 10, 2008 I use same 64-bit JDK-1.6 under leo and all java-apps run under it. Try to start a non working java-app in console and show me the console output so i can tell you whats the issue. I think Azuresu doesnt work because its no swing-app it use the swt-toolkit What is swt.

Don Luca Posted July 11, 2008 Author Share Posted July 11, 2008 Solved the problem with java apps... Don't ask me why but Snow Leopard forces Java apps to run in 64 bit mode thus giving a JVMArch error. Solving this is a pain in the ass because you have to edit the Info.plist file inside the .app bundle of your java app, go to the Java section and add <key>JVMArchs</key> <string>i386</string> To specify to run in 32 bit mode. After this it works like a charm. By the way... the error java apps were giving me was always the same: [JavaAppLauncher] JVMArchs not found in Java dictionary Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/114873-whats-working-and-whats-not/#findComment-815460 Share on other sites More sharing options...
lemmy01 Posted July 12, 2008 Share Posted July 12, 2008 I play a little around with Azureus. If i force azureus to use my 64bit jvm i get this error [JavaAppLauncher] A 64-bit JVM is available for 1.6.0 [JavaAppLauncher] and it is the only version available [JavaAppLauncher] JVMArchs not found in Java dictionary DEBUG::Fri Jul 11 14:16:33 CEST 2008::org.gudy.azureus2.platform.macosx.access.jnilib.OSXAccess::<clinit>::41: Could not find libOSXAccess.jnilib PlatformManagerImpl::<init>::122,PlatformManagerImpl::initializeSingleton::89,PlatformManagerImpl::<clinit>::78,PlatformManagerFactory::getPlatformManager::55,SystemProperties::getUserPath::212,FileUtil::readResilientConfigFile::509,ConfigurationManager::load::160,ConfigurationManager::load::208,ConfigurationManager::getInstance::84,LoggerImpl::init::88,Logger::<clinit>::48,StartServer::<init>::75,Main::<init>::60,Main::main::216,NativeMethodAccessorImpl::invoke0::-2,NativeMethodAccessorImpl::invoke::39,DelegatingMethodAccessorImpl::invoke::25,Method::invoke::597,LaunchRunner::run::115,LaunchRunner::callMain::50,JavaApplicationLauncher::launch::52 ### Warning: Core not instantiated through a PrimaryClassloader, this can lead to restricted functionality or bugs in future versions ### DEBUG::Fri Jul 11 14:16:34 CEST 2008::org.gudy.azureus2.ui.swt.mainwindow.SWTThread::createInstance::67: Loading SWT Libraries failed. Typical causes: (1) swt.jar is not for your os architecture (x86_64). You can get a new swt.jar (Min Version: 3.4) from http://eclipse.org/swt (2) No write access to 'null'. SWT will extract libraries contained in the swt.jar to this dir. So it's a failure from Azureus the native librarys that are bundled with it are only for 32-bit arch. The SWT-gui-toolkit is based on top of carbon so it gives only a 32 bit port of it. But Apple and Adobe is in development porting it to cocoa. So at the moment all apps that make use of SWT dont run under 64-Bit Platform on OSX Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/114873-whats-working-and-whats-not/#findComment-816403 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Don Luca Posted July 12, 2008 Author Share Posted July 12, 2008 I see... well, then let's wait for an update for the swt libraries to work in 64 bit mode. I tried to compile the swt libraries under java 1.6.0 x86_64 but with no luck...

Ai Haibara Posted January 18, 2009 Share Posted January 18, 2009 What about Crossover? I've tried to launch some applications but they quit unexpectedly. Even bottles creation fails. The error is apparently caused by some strange permissions problems (?): Error executing '"/Applications/CrossOver.app/Contents/SharedSupport/CrossOver/bin/cxbottle" --create --scope private --bottle "winxp" --install --template winxp': OSX cxmessage standin was called.

SticMAC™ Posted January 26, 2009 Share Posted January 26, 2009 I have 10.6(10a222) installed on my Alu MacBook 2.4 and although my Airport shows up and I can switch it ON or OFF, I cannot connect to any Wireless Network. Have any of you had similar problems, and if not maybe anyone can add their "IONetworkingFamily.kext" just incase mine went haywire!? SticMAC I've got Macbook pro September-2008 and everything works.
