I'm using UltraISO to try and convert macosx_10.4.3_8f1111_for_dtk_userdvd.dmg to an .iso file. I've checked the md5 sum of the .dmg and it matches what JaS's patch says it should. I've converted it into an .iso about 10 times now and everytime I get a different md5sum from the result, none of them matching JaS's unpatched.iso....... I even tried installing MacDrive, but that didn't make any difference. What am I doing wrong? It worked just fine for me on the 8f1099 version. I had to make a second attempt on the 8f1099 version to get the md5sum to match. But I can't get this one to match for nothin!

 

Can anyone help?

I found this somewhere. Do it on a mac, or osx86.

pico /usr/bin/dmg2iso

 

#!/bin/bash

echo "Converting "$1".dmg to "$1".iso:"

hdiutil convert "$1".dmg -format UDTO -o "$1".iso

mv "$1".iso.cdr "$1".iso

 

save it then type

"chmod 755 /usr/bin/dmg2iso"

then

"dmg2iso macosx_10.4.3_8f1111_for_dtk_userdvd"

and it will convert it.

Fortunately, I have a couple of Macs around (we have a few in our company I support). I created a master CD/DVD which converts it to a .cdr format. Took that and renamed it to .iso and the MD5 matched perfectly. I patched in the JaS.1111a.Generic.Final patch and MD5 matched again. It was installing on an hp Compaq dc7100 before I left to go home :)
