OSX on SSE ... What's this?

What do you think?

I don't use the x86_64 emulation.

Mac OS X dev kit is not compiled for x86_64 so use qemu

So, for Linux users, download and unpack this file.

Open target-i386/helper2.c, and add the following lines:

#ifdef TARGET_X86_64
	/* currently not enabled for std i386 because not fully tested */
	env->cpuid_features |= CPUID_APIC;
	env->cpuid_ext2_features = (env->cpuid_features & 0x0183F3FF);
	env->cpuid_ext2_features |= CPUID_EXT2_LM | CPUID_EXT2_SYSCALL;
	env->cpuid_xlevel = 0x80000008;

	/* these features are needed for Win64 and aren't fully implemented */
	env->cpuid_features |= CPUID_MTRR | CPUID_CLFLUSH | CPUID_MCA;
#endif

Compile the application in Terminal.

 

Anywone wanne make a Windows-port of this? Because i don't have Linux, i can't try this out.

I believe people have tried this method though, and it just didn't work. There were some old pages on the wiki about getting the mactel base to work in it, so maybe you can poke around there.

Those guys are running OS X in QEMU without the x86_64option.
