Artistan Posted March 30, 2007 Author Share Posted March 30, 2007 yep i'm having the same problem with my mouse when I exit apple tv, it's like a row of 10 different cursors and i don't know which is the real one. Fixed. Just modify the resolution.txt in the Closer app to your right resolution and it should fix it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Artistan Posted March 30, 2007 Author Share Posted March 30, 2007 You don't need to install the whole os from appleTV you can install the regular OSX and move certain files to make it work on a genuine mac hardware. Infact that's how most people's been running it. Tutorials should be easy to find in this forum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FavleX Posted March 31, 2007 Share Posted March 31, 2007 @artistan Maybe I'm a little short on understanding , but I want to do better. I am not a genius on using the hexeditor, but I found the line where there's dev/disk0s4. The problem is (mine indeed) I got the partition on first one so I have to change it with dev/disk0s1.disk0s1 or /dev/rdisk0s1.rdisk0s1? :) Thanks for efforts indeed!

There is two spot around same area that says disk0s4. You should not endup with disk0s4.disk0s1, just plain disk0s1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diplomat Posted April 1, 2007 Share Posted April 1, 2007 My Mac OS X86 (10.4.8) installation/box has a Nvidia video card (DVI & VGA) and a VIA/Rhine sound card (built-in to the mobo)... would I be able to run Apple TV/Front Row 2.0 on it smoothly or do I need to do additional hacks/fixes?

diplomat Posted April 1, 2007 Share Posted April 1, 2007 i got Apple TV/Front Row 2.0 up and started and my [Windows] iTunes synced to it (though I turned off syncing for the moment until I fix the slow transfer speeds issue with the NIC and kext)... but I can't control it (Apple TV). I tried the keyboard (PS2), mouse (USB), Apple remote (came with my MacBook) and the Windows Media Center remote (MCE IR receiver) and nothing works. Any ideas?

diplomat Posted April 1, 2007 Share Posted April 1, 2007 so using mira or remote buddy and creating a custom behavior to control the patched/customized Front Row app is not gonna work at all? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FavleX Posted April 1, 2007 Share Posted April 1, 2007 I am at the point said by Diabolik. Front Row 2.0 is working , I used a second monitor to activate the code with iTunes , later I discovered we could use the tip of changing resolution before start FR getting the use of desktop back , but obvoiusly , as pointed by Diabolik ,I can't interact with keyboard or mouse with the application...have to wait..

munky Posted April 1, 2007 Share Posted April 1, 2007 as i was saying to Diabolik just yesterday, the key would be to get a regular USB IR dongle recognised by the OS as the apple-supplied one. that way the apple remote would 'just work'. any ideas how to start? i thought maybe a natit-style injection into the ioreg, but im not sure USB is matched the same way as PCI....

kennyGS13 Posted April 1, 2007 Share Posted April 1, 2007 so using mira or remote buddy and creating a custom behavior to control the patched/customized Front Row app is not gonna work at all? damn I just ordered one too, thinking it would work no prob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DiaboliK Posted April 1, 2007 Share Posted April 1, 2007 damn I just ordered one too, thinking it would work no prob nope not gonna work cause aTV runs as the *exclusive* app shutting out most of the mouse and keyboard. dunno how many times i have to say it but im sure ill have to state it again at some point. -DiaboliK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was searching for information on Apple´s original Infrared Module and it seems to be USB based, although it´s cable is not a standard one. So, I guess the key will be to get Apple´s original IR Module, modify it´s cable to a normal USB and theoretically it will be detected automatically as Apple´s native. I am trying to get the IR module and it seems that Apple Service will be able to help. To move on I need somebody with the original Mac Mini willing to help (no case dessasembly required, just information). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Found Apple´s IR Module. The price here is the same, but in Euros. I have Manta TR1 reciever from TwistedMellon. Changing Vendor and Product ID in AppleIRController.kext does not give a satisfactory result - the kext is loaded,but with errors: Dependency Errors: com.apple.iokit.IOHIDFamily: No valid version of this dependency can be found com.apple.iokit.IOUSBFamily: No valid version of this dependency can be found etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
