daveydave Posted May 8, 2007 Author Share Posted May 8, 2007 Ok that sounds promising, il try installing it later just hope sound and wireless works. Have you actually installed it on this machine or just that the GPU card will work ? Either way thanks very much.

daveydave Posted May 8, 2007 Author Share Posted May 8, 2007 Thats awsome :], shame bout the sound but i will be very determined to get that to work. Will i have to completley wipe my harddrive for mac to recognise a place to install? Cheers again Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/50539-mac-osx-on-asus-f3jp/#findComment-361620 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oracle67 Posted May 8, 2007 Share Posted May 8, 2007 Neaded staff: 1. Mac OS X 10.4.(1-8) Install DVD (on a DVD+ or -R NO RW!) 2. A PC with a compatible DVD drive (to install OS X). How to: 1. Get a prepatched OSX install image (look at torrent sites for that or pm me). 2. Burn the image to an empty dvd recordable (+R or –R NO RW) Use your favorite burn program for this (Nero, Alcohol 120%, MagicISO, PowerISO e.t.c) 3. Insert the OSX install disk and reboot your computer. 4. Boot the DVD, when the grey Apple stops spinning, select Language for the installation. 5. On the top of the screen, click "Utilities" and then click "Disk Utility". 6. Disk Utility starts. Select your Hard Disk or Partition. Chose "erase" tab and set the Volume Format to "Mac OS extended (journaled)" and erase it. 7. Wait until the process finishes and then close Disk Utility. 8. Follow the installation steps on your screen, select the HD with the partition you made in step 6 and choose "Customize" if your installer have that option. In the Installer window, select either the Intel or AMD. Choose more packages if they fit in your hardware. 9. After finishing the installation, wait for the computer to reboot, remove the install disk and enjoy your "Intel/AMD-Mac Os X (x86)" installation.

Oracle67 Posted May 9, 2007 Share Posted May 9, 2007 Acronis Os Selector works much better. If you press F8 at startup you gonna be able to chose drive to boot. Boot in Windows and install acronis disc director, install and activate OS selector. Restart and you are in a nice boot screen.

Thyraz Posted June 18, 2007 Share Posted June 18, 2007 Hiho, can you tell me if its working on your F3JP? Internal display @ full resolution? Wireless lan? Sound? Last discussions about F3JP in this forum was some time ago, and they had big problems. I it worth a try now?

atlee Posted June 19, 2007 Share Posted June 19, 2007 I have JAS 10.4.9 working on my ASUS F3JP, only thing i need to get proper drivers for is ATI X1700, Intel 3945 ABG card which they are testing and building a stable driver, also audio which i havent figured out yet but i know there is a driver for it. But it runs awsome, just need to fix these 3 problems. I know i will have x1700 and audio working soon. But wireless is a problem for alot of people.

atlee Posted June 25, 2007 Share Posted June 25, 2007 no problems with the installation, just have to tick the right options to install, 10.4.9 update went good as well, i now have the sound working with Azalia but only 2 channel atm, internal lcd works and external lcd works, just at standard resolution though 1024x768 Josh Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/50539-mac-osx-on-asus-f3jp/#findComment-394816 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thyraz Posted July 2, 2007 Share Posted July 2, 2007 I'm afraid there is no solution for using internal Display with anything but 1024x768 The only solution i foun to get the mobile x1700 working is using a external Display + the workaround from the x1700 thread. edit: someone tried the solution posted here on a F3JP? http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?sho...812&st=260# Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/50539-mac-osx-on-asus-f3jp/#findComment-399649 Share on other sites More sharing options...
