iloveisrael Posted December 24, 2008 Share Posted December 24, 2008 Hello everyone, I ripped my retail Leopard DVD to my mac laptop. I downloaded the 9a581 patch (BrazilMac), patched the .dmg of the ripped Leopard DVD, and then burned it onto a new DVD. I have an SSE2 processor (on my Windows XP desktop). (I guess that the patch is for SSE3?) When I boot it up on the XP, everything works perfectly until it reaches the screen with the Apple Logo and the Grey background, with the circle thing loading. I have left it like that for some time now and it still does that. Is it the patch that's causing me problems? Where could I download a patch like that for SSE2? Thanks in advance, iloveisrael.

iloveisrael Posted December 24, 2008 Author Share Posted December 24, 2008 I have successfully gotten to the install screen from the DVD. I used Disk Utility to partition the drive to be half windows and half mac. I installed leopard on the mac one, then applied the patch to it. Now, however, the DVD does not boot into leopard. Why is this happening? Thanks, iloveisrael. P.S. I used a retail copy of the leopard disc with a patched BrazilMac patch.

iloveisrael Posted December 24, 2008 Author Share Posted December 24, 2008 When I boot it with the boot option "-v", it gets up to the point where it states "BSD root: disk1s3, major 14, minor 4" And it stops there and refuses to move on. Any help? Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/142663-brazilmac-patch-problems/#findComment-1012254 Share on other sites More sharing options...
camouflageX Posted December 24, 2008 Share Posted December 24, 2008 What patch did you install? I don't understand this. You need at least dsmos.kext or AppleDecrypt for a non-Apple PC. And if you have an SSE2 only CPU, then you have to patch some binaries (there are patchers around) and maybe you also need a different kernel like the Voodoo Kernel. I think it's easier if you just use a ready made DVD.

iloveisrael Posted December 24, 2008 Author Share Posted December 24, 2008 what is the name of the best ready-made-DVD out there that I can use (for SSE2 computer)? Thanks, iloveisrael. P.S. I used the BrazilMac patch Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/142663-brazilmac-patch-problems/#findComment-1012280 Share on other sites More sharing options...
camouflageX Posted December 24, 2008 Share Posted December 24, 2008 There are many: XxX, iDeneb, iAtkos, etc... but they are basically all the same. Just make sure it supports your hardware, like AMD CPU, SSE2, whatever. Just look in the new releases and updates forum: http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?showforum=157 One more thing: I think when using the Voodoo Kernel you don't need to patch the binaries, because it has a built-in SSE3 emulator.

iloveisrael Posted December 24, 2008 Author Share Posted December 24, 2008 I want to give my own DVD one last try. Maybe it didn't work before because I didn't put the Tiger dsmos.kext and the AppleSYMBIOS.kext? Is it worth to give it another try? Thanks, iloveisrael.

iloveisrael Posted December 24, 2008 Author Share Posted December 24, 2008 I have put on the new kexts that i stated above and it still shows me the "BSD root: disk1s3, major 14, minor 4" error when I boot up in "-v". The farthest step I got up to so far is with leopard installed, and I ran the post patch. When I try to boot into leopard by pressing enter, I see the grey screen with the apple logo in the middle. After about 30 seconds, my hard drive and disk drive stop working (I could see this because the green lights aren't flashing anymore). Can anyone explain this? Thanks, iloveisrael.
