VooD Posted March 10, 2007 Share Posted March 10, 2007 Well, I guess not many people is going to try this, but yesterday I installed a Protools HD Core card on a hackintosh and surprisinly got recognized by Os X after installing the drivers. This is pretty weird since there is no Intel Macs with pci interfaces and so Digidesign shouldn´t have compiled PCI support in the Intel version of the drivers. The bad part is I had no audio interface at that moment and couldn´t completly test Protools 7 running, but I will in the next days. It may work...but given Protools uses a such low-level hardware approach to process audio I´m not too confident about, and in addition to this maybe the drivers have endianess problems. More news, next week. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/44807-protools-hd-pci-kinda-working/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
safnight Posted March 12, 2007 Share Posted March 12, 2007 Cool Very good news. I've tryed to install it with OSX 10 4 8 With no success. Only the 10 4 6 Wok for me. What is you're PC And You're OSX 10 4 X?

VooD Posted March 12, 2007 Author Share Posted March 12, 2007 Yep, 10.4.8 with lastest semthex kernel, I have´nt been able to test audio yet, I just have the core card at the moment, but you can see the systems recognizes the card, and protools pass the "Hardware Check" when you load it. The PC is a Carrillon AC1D but with different specs (don´t know why). It haves a Intel 945 board, a cheap Radeon x550 (no qi ce :/ ) and a couple of sata disks. About you, you say you have already tested Protools HD with real hardware in 10.4.6, and worked? Regards.

VooD Posted March 25, 2007 Author Share Posted March 25, 2007 Finally I got the chance to test audio and yep, worked for me. No problem at all. Digidesign loves hackintoshes lol. I never thought a Protools HD Core card would work on a hackintosh.

enb14 Posted March 25, 2007 Share Posted March 25, 2007 Are you using the PCI or the PCIe hardware? Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/44807-protools-hd-pci-kinda-working/#findComment-332280 Share on other sites More sharing options...
VooD Posted March 26, 2007 Author Share Posted March 26, 2007 It´s a PCI card. As I said is incredible this works, as there´s no real intel mac with PCI slots.

VooD Posted March 26, 2007 Author Share Posted March 26, 2007 I used JaS.10.4.8.AMD.Intel.SSe2.SSe3.v1p.diskutility7.iso. You can download it from demonoid, in addition to a more recent version with ichr7 patch applied. Mine has 073eb015d77bbf5e4a97d0d37ceb3855 MD5.

vokator Posted March 27, 2007 Share Posted March 27, 2007 I have HD3 working with 10.4.7 with IOPCIFamily kext from 10.4.4 Still can't make it work with 10.4.8 (tried different kernels) It seems that PCI cards can not be detected by OS Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/44807-protools-hd-pci-kinda-working/#findComment-333515 Share on other sites More sharing options...
VooD Posted March 27, 2007 Author Share Posted March 27, 2007 Mmmm, the Protools HD Core card I tested didn´t show at PCI section in System Profile, (even after installing the drivers) but the card itself works perfectly once you install them. Also I can use a pci firewire card without any trouble in 10.4.8. Maybe is a chipset/hardware specific problem.

vokator Posted March 28, 2007 Share Posted March 28, 2007 But do you have any of pci cards shown as presenting in System Profiler? Or there's smth like "No Pci cards installed in you system" ?

Vista SP1 works fine, but I can't get it to run under OS X. It wouldn't be such a big deal to run PT under Windows, but I would lose a TON of Mac only plug-ins that would cost quite a bit of money to replace. Anyone have any advice on getting the PCI cards recognized? Anyone have any success in 10.6? I know the card is getting power, as my 196 changes to green when the PC is powered on. It's just that OS X is not seeing the card. Help please!

By the way have you tried in Leopard and maybe with both pro-tools 7 and 8? Also hackintosh install should be done with Vanilla kernel to maximize compatibility Anyone with a working PCI-X hackintosh configuration ?!?

Although, I have an HD3 Accel system, and the board will only hold 2 of the cards (there is a heatsink in the way at the end of one of the PCI slots). I'm using a vanilla kernel. I have tried PT 7, but only under Snow Leopard. No dice. I did eventually get Snow Leopard and Pro Tools 8.0.3pr running, but it's pretty sketchy. I'm not sure if it's PT or my install; too many variables at this point. I'll have to wait for the official Snow Leopard release of Pro Tools to do more testing.
