maxxuss Posted September 28, 2005 Share Posted September 28, 2005 Run 10.4.2 software on your 10.4.1 system Update (New links) This is the 1st version (v0.1) of my patch for Mac OS X 10.4.1 "Tiger" on the x86 Platform (Codename "Marklar"). This patch allows you to run Mac OS X 10.4.2 (x86) software on your 10.4.1 system. [DMCA Violation Edited by Hagar] Feedback welcome! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluedragon1971 Posted September 28, 2005 Share Posted September 28, 2005 Cool! Good work (like always). Do you have some examples of programs that were compiled with 10.4.2 that can be used to test if the patch is working? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you have some examples of programs that were compiled with 10.4.2 that can be used to test if the patch is working? Try Colloquy IRC Client: http://colloquy.info/downloads.html This universal built is meant for 10.4.2: http://colloquy.info/downloads/colloquy-universal.zip It runs fine on my 10.4.1. (When you run it the 1st time it says s.th. about problem and asks if you want to continue. Just continue and everything works fine from then on.)

AGDenton Posted September 28, 2005 Share Posted September 28, 2005 Hello ! Just ran the patch on my computer, I have a working Colloquy. Great job ! I'm going to test it with the universal binaries of gwTeX, which I suspect were also compiled with 10.4.2. AGD EDIT : It works.. You just made my day.

maxxuss Posted September 29, 2005 Author Share Posted September 29, 2005 Many Thanks for your positive feedbacks. I've updated the download links (see 1st posting). (The ISO now contains a new Readme.html, the rest hasn't changed...). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
domino Posted September 29, 2005 Share Posted September 29, 2005 I don't know too much details on the new seed, but if this is available to everyone with a 100% working 10.4.1, who needs the new seed? This is a great contribution. Thank you for the efforts you have provided to this small community. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maxxuss Posted September 29, 2005 Author Share Posted September 29, 2005 Well. the patch works, but my system slowed down by 10 - 15 %. So what culd be the matter? Should not happen. However, please (as always for these kinds of trouble-shooting questions!), list your configuration (see the FAQ for list of items) and how you measured. Is it repeatable after reboot? Do get your old speed after restoring your old kernel? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
juggler Posted September 29, 2005 Share Posted September 29, 2005 Has anyone had the chance to check if 10.4.2's PPTP/VPN is working now?

antic Posted September 29, 2005 Share Posted September 29, 2005 For those of us that are a bit slow on the uptake, can you please give us some details of what's in this new patch that enables us to run 10.4.2 software. Are there any kexts from the new 10.4.2 update or is it just changes made to the system info so that new software loaded thinks it 10.4.2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maxxuss Posted September 29, 2005 Author Share Posted September 29, 2005 (edited) Well. the patch works, but my system slowed down by 10 - 15 %. So what could be the matter?Yes - the speed comes backwith old kernel..... I should stay with it until there is a fix OK. I cannot confirm it on my hardware. First thing, please try this SSE3 kernel with 10.4.2 Exec patch: Edit: Removed content violating DMCA It only contains the minimum of patched bytes. Next thing, please post the following info: - How did you measure your system? If it's Xbench, please attach(!) the zip'ed reports with your original kernel and with the new one. If it's not Xbench, try also to specifiy what exactly has changed, e.g. CPU bench, thread bench etc. - Please post the md5sum of your kernel (the one which is faster for you). Thanks. For those of us that are a bit slow on the uptake, can you please give us some details of what's in this new patch that enables us to run 10.4.2 software. Are there any kexts from the new 10.4.2 update or is it just changes made to the system info so that new software loaded thinks it 10.4.2. From my announcement: This patch modifies the 10.4.1 kernel to adapt for these changes. ... What's in the ISO - Readme.html - install.sh (Open with your Mac OS X' Terminal.app) - Mach kernel with the patch applied So, it's simply a kernel replacement. Should work on SSE2 and SSE3.

domino Posted September 29, 2005 Share Posted September 29, 2005 No performance change here. My Xbench marks right around 47-48 area and is pretty consistant on every bench, unless I overclock from 2.8 to 3.4. Now I'm just looking for the benifit of this patch. I guess I'll have to dig around for unibins for 10.4.2. Thanks for the Patch! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jerrycrystal Posted September 29, 2005 Share Posted September 29, 2005 Thanks!!! Now I am using the colloquy , it works perfect. great work! and still I do not feel my machine is slowed down ! I wonder could we just replace or update several files in our current 10.4.1 to upgrade to 10.4.2 ? ps : I spend nearly 2 hours just to download the patch......

wiebeest Posted September 30, 2005 Share Posted September 30, 2005 I 2nd that.I have been trying but I cant get anything going with the ati drivers.If you find some time,Please help with getting a working ati driver for us. No! Go help the developement of the Nvidia driver. we Nvidia people need >@60Hz support natively to prevent us from getting serious migraine. But seriously, I thought I read somewhere that maxxuss was working on a native ethernet driver and recently he seems to be buisy on the Tiger 10.4.2 patches.

Elclaudio Posted September 30, 2005 Share Posted September 30, 2005 I think the community doesn't need an ethernet driver at all since all you have to do is buy a cheap network card and voila ! But most people need a ATI and/or NVIDIA graphic driver coz OSX is barely unusable without one. that's should be our TOP priority. BTW I believe that most people out there including me aren't skilled enough to do that. May be I will buy a 915 board soon...
