I have succesfully installed max osx 10,4,6 on Intel!

[Madcoaster]

Hi guys,

 

after some preperation i made the jump and

installed mac osx version 10.4.6 on my pentium 4 3,20 ghz processor with Ati graphics.

 

i was really suppriced to see internet fully working without preperation!!!!

i have bluetoohhh support !!!

i have sound !!!!!!

 

but what doesn't seem to work,

first my mac seems to be working at a good speed, but i wonder if still need to apply

patches to get more out of my system, and alsaw i can't change te resolution!!!!!

and its not quartzz extreme supporterd, and according to other people i should have it ???

any ideas on why its not supported.

 

I rand a bechmark utility and this is what came up: http://db.xæbench.com/merge.xhtml?doc1=171...&setCookie=true

 

my results.

the open gl is extremely bad !!!

any ideas on how to fix this ?

 

thanks in a million guys for your help

i could not have done it without you (execially sam)

 

thanks again

 

i hope you guys can help me out on these problems,

and give me some pointers

 

best regards

For changing resolutions, refresh rates, QE, CI and Open GL here are 2 very important links:

http://omni.starchaser.org/ - you can download/learn how to install/exchange informations about Callisto (a driver for your ATI card)

http://forum.osx86project.org/index.php?showtopic=16847 - where you can read about OSx86 Project users' experience with Callisto. (well some of them are active on omni's forum also...)

 

 

P.S. It seems that your benchmark results link doesn't work...

[Madcoaster]

hé thanks

 

im going to look in to that !!!

 

let you now how it goes

 

thanks again !

[Madcoaster]

hé me with some results,

 

it seems very hard to install that driver +

from the post i read i doens't look that possitive to.

so i'm reconcidering.

 

i have alsaw tryed xbench,

and here are my results,

 

http://db.xbench.com/merge.xhtml?doc1=1718...&setCookie=true

 

with a score of 20 i am very much giving up the dream of running tiger om my computer.

these numbers look soooo bad,

 

and to think that i have all compatible hardware.

it even supports sse3, but on that test i seems like i don't support it.

 

damnn it

[belgrano]

I don't know what to say...

Except OpenGL almost all your scores are significantly bigger than mine. If I were you, I wouldn't give up.

It's not so hard to install the driver. All you have to do is to type some instructions in Terminal (which you can copy/paste from the Installation instructions from omni's site).

 

What ATI card do you have anyway?

[mifki]

If your Xbench cores are that terribly low, somtething is wrong. Look at my siganture ad with those specs i get 76.68 on xbench. Are you sure that all ofyour hardwar is supporeted.

Is you motherboard all intel based?

What ATI card do you have?

Have you disabled BeamSync? (This can make your scores jump by 20)

What type of HDD have you got (i.e SATA, 5400 Rpm)?

Are you sure that the Callisto kexts are fully loaded?

How much Memory have you got installed?

[Madcoaster]

hé guys,

 

thanks for the reply!

 

well here i go, this is all the info that i know about my computer set up and installation.

 

i have made a computer overview

 

as yo can see i have a pentium 4 3.20 ghz, a ATi RAdeon X740XL, And i uesed a 10 gb Maxtor

for testing (don't want to install on a bigger one untill everythings runs smooth)

Then about my install;

 

i used a 10.4.6 patched version of mac osx tiger,

 

here's the info i found about my version;

 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(Min req SSE2 PAE, this iso works on AMD/INTEL but the preferred platform is AMD just to {censored} off apple and their lame and retarded cpuid checks

 

10.4.4/5/6 Selectable in the installer customize section, make sure to view the OSX86 Hack Group in the installer

 

10.4.4_SSE3_ONLY_KERNEL Unselected by default

 

This kernel is Intel/AMD sse3 only and doesn't have NX/CPUID/RTC/SSE2 patches NOTE IT Doesn't Work with AMD X2

 

so only use it if your cpu doesn't need any addictional patch , if your system panics at boot, type mach_kernel.old

 

This iso has itunes 6.04 and Java5 release 4 updates are included too

 

Third part drivers included:

Semjza 10.4.6 decrypted files & most important Maxxuss work

NB: SATA DOESN'T WORK ON NFORCE4 , DON'T INSTALL IT ON A SATA HD, sata isn't enabled after the reboot to prevent hd corruption

 

Sata is enabled and working for NFORCE3

 

10.4.3 usb kexts are included and selected by default , unselect them if you want, 10.4.3 usb kexts seem to work best with nforce3/4

 

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

I installed this version using VMware, and installing nativly on a hard disk,

i used the full hard disk cause selection a partition failed while formatting under Mac install.

 

I then had to costumize my install,

an these are the tings that i selected to install.

 

See picture on --> http://putfile.com/pic.php?pic=5/14505534611.jpg&s=f5

 

after that,

i rebooted Mac osx and then installed Acronis OS selector,

and rebooted again.

 

Then i started up mac osx tiger, and whent to see at the "about this mac"

menu and this is what i see

 

picture --> http://putfile.com/pic.php?pic=5/14506014519.jpg&s=f5

picture --> http://putfile.com/pic.php?pic=5/14506021048.jpg&s=f5

 

I did not install any drivers, keys.

 

I think that Tiger runs pretty good,

but the openGl scores are extremely bad,

and because i apperently dont have quartz extreme support (thats what mac info tells me)

i'm losing alot off mac goodies. And when i analysed my processr

using cpuz it says i do have SSE3 and in mac it says i don't.

 

So im confussed, i normally should have support for these things.

 

Well guys,

 

thats all the info that i can give,

 

i hope you can help me out!

 

thanks again for the great help !

No one?

[sam_the_killer]

Hi there,

 

And good to hear that uve natively installed the Mac on ur system.

And i hope that except for graphics, u might be getting positive results as

compared with the VMWare install, and yes u might have observed the speed factor just boosting.

 

Now on a temporary basis, if u want to see some eye candy from ur pc, i think that u should just

remove ATI display card and connect ur monitor to the onboard display adapter.

 

Since GMA900 is also supported and that uve installed the support during installation of Mac.

 

Now for ATI, i'll have to do some research, and i'll definitely help, if u'll send me the details of

the research that uve done for the drivers, maybe i can help u in a simple way.

 

See ya

and by the way thanx for appreciating my work for install guide.

 

WELL DONE

[Madcoaster]

hé Sam,

 

nice to hear from you!

did yo receive my mails ?

Do you think i selected the right hack options?

 

Tiger is running much better then with vmware,

but still not 100 %.

 

As i stated in my above post, mac Osx sais that i don't have SSE3,

but i do have it, so thats kinda strange isn't it ?

 

and for the driver, im going to try installing it, but it seems to be way out off my league.

 

I just checked my computer, and unfortunatly i don't have a onboard display adapter, so i guess thats not going to work alsaw.

 

ohh and no problem, i i'm glad to have gotten this far because of your help!

 

greets,

 

Madcoaster

[sam_the_killer]

you should have added the SSE3 hack, as it supports ur processor. It is not for the users with SSE2 processors, and it should install SSE3 based instruction set.

 

Also try installing the Ati Mobility pack. It will not harm ur install, but the fact is it will not load it if it does not support ur config.

 

But 4 now u will have to reinstall mac by again formatting ur HDD (but that should be easy 4 u now).

This time u should select SSE3 hack that uve not selected and the Ati mobility pack.

 

And ive found out the Ati package at omni's website, but some part is not clear, that i will make it.

 

And u properly check that display connector is present on the motherboard, bcoz ur motherboard supports GMA900 and this is graphic controller chip on ur motherboard.

[Madcoaster]

hé Sam,

 

no problem to reinstall, cause i was planning on doing the install on a

bigger hard drive. I'm going to select those 2 options,

 

--> 10.4.4_SSE3 Only kernel

--> Radeon Mobility Support

 

right?

 

I dont fully understand what you are saying about "And u properly check that display connector is present on the motherboard, bcoz ur motherboard supports GMA900 and this is graphic controller chip on ur motherboard."

 

So should i have another display connector on the back ?

 

thanks !

[sam_the_killer]

does ur motherboard has a connector i.e. 15 pin for connecting a monitor,

not on the display card.

[Madcoaster]

not that i can see,

but do you possible have a pic off what is should look for ?

 

just a monitor connector right ?

 

greets !!

 

Madcoaster

[sam_the_killer]

then u might not be having the display conenctor by default.

 

Then u'll have to stuck it up to ur ATI card only.

[Madcoaster]

ahh ok!

 

thank you sam!

 

i will get in touch ass soon as i have reinstalled mac!.

 

thanks again,

 

and ive you can help me out with my graphics card

let me know !!

 

bey

[Madcoaster]

Hi guys,

 

just finished reinstalling mac with the 2 options that i missed the last time selected.

 

I can see that i finnaly have SSE3 support (thats what the mac info tells me)

 

but no bether results (with xbenchs still 20!!!!)

it is still my open gl that is terrible lowww,

 

i have read all about the drivers for ati,

but can someone tell me wich one i need for my Ati card :

 

"MEDION RADEON X740XL"

 

Let me know what to do,

cause im not getting anywere at the moment !

 

thanks guys
