Swad Posted March 25, 2007 Share Posted March 25, 2007 Well, that didn't take long. After hearing many Apple TV users clamoring for a hard drive image to dissect and toy with, a torrent of one was released today. Here are the accompanying notes: This is a slightly-modded AppleTV dmg file of all three partitions, for use when you screw up your own modding - you can restore to this one. It has a startup script disabling the firewall, with ARD and sshd running. (ssh -1 frontrow@your.appletv.ip, password frontrow). It's pre-set for 720p. We obviously can't confirm the contents of this image, nor do we encourage the theft itself, but... hey... torrented stolen files are always interesting if nothing else, right? Keep up with the latest Apple TV developments in our new Apple TV Forum!

Mr. Bond Posted March 25, 2007 Share Posted March 25, 2007 Would it not be possible to run this in vmware or something? sorry...noob alert...woot 1st post Not as is, no. It's almost an exact dump of the aTV's HDD...thus, you'll still have things like EFI, mach_kernel, etc to edit/modify before having any hope of a native boot, let alone in Vmware. I think the best bet at the moment is taking an existing OSx86 install, and slowly adding in components from there.

BlackShadowWolf Posted March 25, 2007 Share Posted March 25, 2007 The DMG is is the stripped out version of OS X right? If it is, someone should Spotlight it and see what kind of goodies there are, like themes or other Leopard based goodness . That would be funny if a message popped up saying. "Congrats, you found the secret features, dont tell Microsoft, please?"

Artistan Posted March 25, 2007 Share Posted March 25, 2007 I'm gonna see if I can make a Franken-aTV by combining content of the DMG with the full OSX... Once I get hold of the files.

Perhaps it's a DMG of one of the three partitions on the AppleTV HDD?
