sieb Posted August 13, 2005 Share Posted August 13, 2005 Anyone here been able to get PPC apps to work (itunes, dvd player)? These don't work for me eventhough my proc supports SSE3 (P4 3.0E). Everything else runs fine, but PPC apps don't launch, I can't install PPC apps either. I went digging around but couldn't find anything having to do with Rosetta on the disk. Is it a framework? Or just built in? Digging around on Apples site, PPC apps should have an option to run in Rosetta (click Get Info on the PPC app, should be a little check box under info), but I haven't seen this on my install. Hmm.. Perhaps we need Xcode 2.1? Anyone? Anyone? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also have SSE3. I did the ubuntu live CD dd the image and booted right up great. Only missing Rosetta it seems, and I can't get my display to 1280 x 1024, only 1024 x 768, any help there?

CoreGraphics is one of them I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
travelan Posted August 14, 2005 Share Posted August 14, 2005 Can anyone help us with this? What files need to be replaced? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deleted123098 Posted August 14, 2005 Share Posted August 14, 2005 Hey there is a way! The file you need is coregraphics which i have attached. Rename it to CoreGraphics.bak and paste it to /System/Library/Frameworks/ApplicationServices.framework/Versions/A/Frameworks/CoreGraphics.framework/Versions/A in a terminal window: cd /System/Library/Frameworks/ApplicationServices.framework/Versions/A/Frameworks/CoreGraphics.framework/Versions/A chmod 755 CoreGraphics.bak sudo chown root:wheel CoreGraphics.bak sudo mv CoreGraphics CoreGraphics.i386 sudo mv CoreGraphics.bak CoreGraphics Reboot. Then it should work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coolbgdog Posted August 14, 2005 Share Posted August 14, 2005 Everytime I try to move a file it says the file "whatever" cant be move becaused "foldername" cant be modified. Then I have to click authenticate or ok and when I click authenticate i have to put my password in and then the file moves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crypto55 Posted August 15, 2005 Share Posted August 15, 2005 I had the same problem. DO NOT use this patch. Coincidentally, did the people who also had this problem use the same distribution as what was posted on UNEASYsilence.com? IE, the one where you dd a ready made image onto another drive?

crypto55 Posted August 15, 2005 Share Posted August 15, 2005 THANK YOU, I DID UNrar it. Can people who have had trouble with their OSX86 installs as a result of this mod please post their installation platform, including what distribution they used, their processor, etc? I'd like to try to diagnose this problem, but need more information.

crypto55 Posted August 16, 2005 Share Posted August 16, 2005 I got it to work! iTunes will open, but I still need to test some other x86 apps. I saw online that if you get stuck at the "swirly circle" during your OSX boot sequence, try typing "-v" at the Darwin boot. That got me in. The attachment was first (i think) located here - [Violation of DMCA] . The actual location of the attachment is at [Violation of DMCA] . I'm not sure about the status of that site, so you might have to look around if it's offline. Otherwise, try googling a line of that code. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
