Hi there,

 

I read that it's possible to run the SL 10.6.8 Hackintosh in 64 bit mode (x86_64) is this right?

Is it right that the limitation will be that only x64 apps will run?

 

I need 64 bit for some programs, but I don't know how to patch (binaries) to run in x64 mode :(

 

Does anybody know how to patch it or any kernel bootflags I must use? I use -force64 with arch=i386 at the moment.

 

 

Looking forward to hear something (and looking forward to run OS in x64) :D

Hello!

I read that it's possible to run the SL 10.6.8 Hackintosh in 64 bit mode (x86_64) is this right?

Yes, if you have the cpu capable of doing so.

Is it right that the limitation will be that only x64 apps will run?

No, OSX/64 runs 64 and 32 bit apps, as well as PPC (Rosetta). This is true at least for my A-II 640.

Does anybody know how to patch it or any kernel bootflags I must use?

My AMD box uses a patched 10.6.8 Kernel pkg, which comes with an option to force 64bit.

I use -force64 with arch=i386 at the moment

That looks contradictory to me. Afaik -force64 calls 64bit, arch=i386 calls 32bit.

Maybe someone else can confirm?

 

Look here too please: http://www.osx86.net...x-10-6-amd.html

 

Best wishes!

Already tried the x86_64 flag to boot completely in x64 mode, but no go :( Only 32 bit with -force64 works.

CPU: AMD Phenom II X4 945.

 

Wasn't the -force64 flag for userland x64? (whatever that means)?

I´m afraid, I cant give you the details, but there is a 10.6.8 legacy kernel package available, that has an option to install a "force64" for AMD as well.

That did the trick for me.

If you wish, I can upload the package on minus or else, if you cant find it.

64 bit kernel for AMD found here.

 

Hi to all i've tryed it but whitout any succes!

I've 10.6.8 whit amd turin and i've need to install a 64bit mode for some application ( new Photoshop cs6... And all new cs6 suite Adobe ).

I've tryed whit -force64 , x_86_64 , but don't work !!

Photoshop app , open and after the first screen it closed!

Can anyone help me??

Sorry for the bad english

use nawcom's kernel for 10.6.8 and use kernel flags "arch=i386 -force64"

 

Next, to make 32 AND 64-bit programs work look up and use AMD ISNS Patcher.

 

Hi tnks for the reply.

In tris moment i use a nawkom 10.6.8 kernel and the kernel flag is arch=i386 -force64 busrtaio=13...but i don't undestestend, what is a AMD ISNS PATCH ? I not found it

It's a patch that does exactly what you're looking for: lets 32-bit apps run in 64-bit mode. I'll edit post with a link. It is a command line tool there is a forum thread I had found earlier with easy instructions... will post back.

 

EDIT: Woops its called amd INSN patcher not ISNS no wonder you couldn't find it XD. Anyway, here you go: http://www.osx86.net/desktops/14304-guide-use-more-than-4gb-ram-amd-32-64-bit-apps-working.html

I'm Sorry , not install but command line, yes.

And now my system don't start.

Or more precisaly my system start but i don't see the desktop , only a green screen whit Apple logo.

The strange thing is that system don't start not even whit -x -v -f ...

 

You could try boot with std_dyld=Yes

It is rather late, but may help others.

I have a ASUS M4N82 Deluxe (nForce980 chipset) with a AMD Phenom II X4 955BE CPU. I used the Nawcom Legacy Kernel 10.6.8v2 installer. This is my kernel flag string verbatim

-v arch=i386 -force64 std_dyld=Yes

Use Plist Edit to put the flags in, there is a BUG with Chameleon Wizard, where it messes up the flags. I am also using Chimera 1.7.0 r1394 (seems like older versions work better than newer ones.). ATM I have a proper DSDT, but am not using it. Been feverishly working on my efi strings. I reccomend the version 2 of the kernel as it has the evilacpi and evilpci kexts (in E/Extra) never got the npci flags to work. My system boots up in about 15 seconds.

Well, if someone finds this thread now... You're lucky. The 64-bit has became reality. Only for Phenoms atm, but Athlon fix is coming soon! :)
