STLVNUB Posted January 11, 2022 Share Posted January 11, 2022 (edited) Currently working on a 'New Way' to install older Mac X on systems that are too new to install them Trying with Snow Leopard at the moment When I perfect this method, let the good times role again I this works ok, I will resurrect my old InstaHackintosh, so that you can tailor make your own install For Snow Leopard, you will need a source file, e.g Snow Leopard dvd or equivalent. Will give info when I have progressed far enough, at the moment it is still in theory stage Edited August 4, 2023 by STLVNUB 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eSaF Posted January 11, 2022 Share Posted January 11, 2022 @STLVNUB Hi - would be very interested to know how you progress with the project. I still have my Snow Leopard disk and tried in the past to install it again on my new systems along the way but fell down applying the new methods to install OS X so like a wimp I gave up. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The secret is NOT to install using the disk installer, but installing each individual packages with a script file that is only 12 lines Edited January 11, 2022 by STLVNUB 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Use diskutility and restore image to hd. Same again fully tailor made your way 3. Possible live creation, use as utility disk There is probably more usage for it, so let me know Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest ricoc90 Posted July 10, 2022 Share Posted July 10, 2022 I still have a 2007 24" iMac, late 2009 21.5" iMac, 2008 MacBook Pro and 2011 MacBook Pro. All just collecting dust because I have no idea what to do with them but at the same time the thought of selling them or doing them away gives me straight up panic attacks as if I'm considering selling my child I do heartfully agree that SL was the best OSX, so I might dust some of the older Macs off...

STLVNUB Posted July 19, 2023 Author Share Posted July 19, 2023 (edited) This Is A Work In Progress You Need To Do A Few Things Yourself 1. You Will Need To Download This Snow Leopard DVD https://archive.org/details/osx-10.6.7-dvd Double Click The Iso File To Mount it. Need To UNHIDE Folders 2a. On A Mac Keyboard Press Shift Option full stop 2b. On A Windows Keyboard Press Shift Alt Full Stop 3. Have A BLANK HDD Volume Ready 4. Run The Script, Enter Passwords When Prompted 5. You SHOULD end Up with A Working Snow Leopard Volume Just Have To Get OC OR Clover To Boot It😁 Version 0.1 MakeSL.command.zip Now Makes Leopard Version 0.4 MakeSL.command.zip Version 0.5 Bug Fix MakeSL.command Edited July 20, 2023 by STLVNUB Bug Fix 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FirstTimeCustomac Posted July 20, 2023 Share Posted July 20, 2023 Hi, Are you actually able to boot to Snow Leopard on your B360M or B560 system? Because no matter what I do, faking cpuid or smbios, my Coffee Lake system does not boot to installer or already installed El Capitan or older OS partitions. Minimum it can boot was 10.12. I'd like to know if anyone had success in such case. But being able to install older Mac OS on a newer system seems nice whether you can boot it or not.
