Acer 3690 - best best Hackintosh?


6 posts in this topic

Recommended Posts

Hi there!

 

I just installed OSX86 (10.4.8) on an Acer Aspire 3690 (3692WLMi , to be exact).

Right now, everything that matters works - Sound, WLAN, you name it (Note: I didn't care for the Ethernet - I didn't get the Builtin Webcam to work with iChat USB Cam).

 

Without further ado:

 

+) Get the " JaS.10.4.8.AMD.Intel.SSE2.SSE3 " Install DVD from Demon***.

 

Install normally, just don't forget the INTEL Packages, as well as the GMA 950 support. I also installed the "Common Wireless Nics" Package.

 

+) Sound

 

Use the ALC883Audio.pkg in THIS Link , and install the 3 Channel Version (which happened to be the default).

 

+) Wireless LAN

 

Look at THIS and THIS Thread for Instructions.

 

The Vendor ID on this model is 14E4, and the Device ID is 4318 .

I just changed one of the "<string>pci14e4,4320</string>" Strings to <string>pci14e4,4318</string>.

 

Just follow the instructions - I had to do it twice because of my own stupidity.

 

Thats it - I hope it helps, and my respect for everyone who helped in the Threads I quoted.

Hi anonymous86,

I am planning to get Acer 3682 (which is very similar to your machine) and i am so glad you have success with this machine but just wanted to check if you had any luck with Quartz Extreme, CoreImage and OpenGL ?

 

also have you tried macam for your cam ?

 

Regards,

I've installed Tiger 10.4.8 on my 3690: qe/ci, sound, sleep/restart/shutdown. I installed wifi, it works, but I can't sleep the laptop :)

I tried to install a PowerManagement.bundle from an acer 5220 howto, but System Preferences didn't change. I also try the AppleACPIPlatform.kext from the 5220 howto but now the system doesn't boot. (haven't tried -v -x) Can you see the batery status? How?

Now installing Leopard...
