ksec Posted December 6, 2006 Share Posted December 6, 2006 Great work Semthex, i see that you even emulate more instructions then the 4 needed for 10.4.8. I counted 11 to be precise. Didi you also planned the last two? As i remember the SSE3 had 13 more instructions the the SSE2. Amazing that you both did so much work in such a short time. I Hope we see some testresults form the testers soon. But all in good time. Thanks for all the hard work. That is what i am wondering too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

intrax Posted December 6, 2006 Share Posted December 6, 2006 Great work semthex ! Congrats to all SSE2 users out there... including myself. Anxiously awaiting your SSE2 emulation kernel 8.8.1 release.... Will donate if working ok on my AMD Athlon 64 3000+, as promised ! Thanks for your hard work !

kkonstan Posted December 6, 2006 Share Posted December 6, 2006 I'm another SSE2 user that would be very glad to have SSE3 emulation and a proper 10.4.8 running system. My ~2 year old laptop died shortly after the MacBook was announced... Damn thing couldn't wait for another couple of months... at that moment I wasn't sure if I wanted to switch to Apple - I had just began experimenting with Mac OS X, and I liked what I saw, being a FreeBSD guy, but buying a just released Apple product that I might end up running FreeBSD on it for about twice the price of the equivalent generic PC didn't seem like a good idea. Anyway, I bought a $500 HP nx6110 as a stop-gap solution, and after 4 months of never really booting into FreeBSD and instead running exclusively JaS 10.4.6+10.4.7 update without any major problems I now *know* that I've switched to Mac OS X... I'm considering buying a MacBook, but I keep postponing it... first was the wait for the Core 2 Duo ones, now I wait for MacWorld Expo next month, they'll probably announce something new by then and I'll decide to wait for it, you get the idea... the point is I don't need anything faster than this 1.5Ghz Celeron M! I just browse the net, listen to music, fool around with my photos and watch the occasional movie. I'm sure there are a lot of other people like me with SSE2 only computers that see no reason to upgrade, so the SSE3 emulator is very welcome indeed. The only thing that the MacBook would give me right now is iTunes 7 and proper sleep. I just can't get the damn thing to sleep properly... it sleeps and wakes up, but it seems to be in a power on suspend mode, not trully sleeping. Sometimes, just to {censored} me off, it sleeps properly, with blinking led and everything, but most of the times the fans don't stop and I wake it up again and shut it down. I'm sick and tired of shutting it down and booting it up... works flawlessly with FreeBSD, and presumably with XP. I'd like to give it a go at fixing it, but I wouldn't know where to start from... --kkonstan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thomas202 Posted December 6, 2006 Share Posted December 6, 2006 Similar situasion here, im a poor student and a real mac is way out of my price range for the moment. I im stuck on a sse2 laptop but loves OSX! Keep up the great work!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Katch Posted December 6, 2006 Share Posted December 6, 2006 Sem has said initial release will be tonight. But that said don't expect it to be free of problems. Still early days here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpeedfreaK Posted December 6, 2006 Share Posted December 6, 2006 I'm a SSE2 only user and I bless you! I've been jalous to the SSE3 people who got QE/CI on their machines, and now finally i can have that too! Thank you man, really thank you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been jalous to the SSE3 people who got QE/CI on their machines, and now finally i can have that too! Thank you man, really thank you! I am really happy about that news too, congratulations Semthex ! But I fear my gefore4 go will be able to run QE/CI. You can see on the Titan HCL that GF 3 & 4MX doesn't seem to work. These graphics chips are really old (I can remember the GF4 MX/Go's are based on GF2) and I fear we'll run OpenGL on our computer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Katch Posted December 6, 2006 Share Posted December 6, 2006 Quick post from me regarding the beta release. Single user loads fine and ./maxxus_sse t reports all sucesses Trying to get to GUI currently at blue screen. Seems to be a lot of matching fails going on. Off out to the cinema - will resume testing soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

claps Posted December 6, 2006 Share Posted December 6, 2006 what np_ (from MacVidia) told me a month ago : just hope this will be working for older nv cards. Mine is a GeForce4 Go 440 and MacVidia works flawlessly with it I was just relieved to see that Titan seems to be able to handle at least 5xxx series, I am just now waiting for SSE2 packages. on theory should work on older cards too but that depends on apple , ie how much support they really add on drivers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
solaar Posted December 6, 2006 Share Posted December 6, 2006 Wicked! Nice one mate. I can say my lil 'contribution' was worth it... I hope my Acer aspire 1680 will make it this time (it's still on 10.4.3 due to several glitches in later versions). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
