mat_london Posted November 24, 2007 Share Posted November 24, 2007 Hi All, First Post on the forum..... I've got Tiger 10.4.1 running nice and quick in VirtualBox with network, sound and sse2 inside Ubuntu on a Tosh laptop with sse2. I know 10.4.1 is old now, but it is both stable and quick. The only thing is that all the apps I have installed won't run. the bounce once in the dock and disappear. If I run them in the terminal it says: Bad executable (or shared library) Very strange anyone heard of this before ? I'm using the old deadmoo vmware image.

bibendum Posted November 24, 2007 Share Posted November 24, 2007 Could they be PPC apps? Patrick Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/73238-tiger-running-in-virtual-box/#findComment-517436 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hagar Posted November 24, 2007 Share Posted November 24, 2007 This is because of the change in executable header format between 10.4.1 & 10.4.2. There is/was a "maxxuss 10.4.2 exec patch" iirc, which allowed some newer binaries to run, but essentially, you need a newer system version or older apps.. Look for some of the "home-compiled" x86 binaries or releases from '05. Ironically, provided your rosetta is working, ppc apps should be unaffected. in fact, if you can afford the overhead, you may be able to run some apps by checking the "run with rosetta" box in get info.

mat_london Posted November 25, 2007 Author Share Posted November 25, 2007 Hi All, Deadmoo 10.4.1 works very well in Virtualbox for me using Ubuntu 7.01 as my host and running it on a dual core Tosh laptop. Smooth, quick with just the odd crash. The big exception is that I can't get any new software to run. Some stuff installs but won't run, some stuff the installers don't run. I've dug around the forums and have read that this might be a 10.4.1 and so have tried other VMware images on Virtualbox such as 10.4.7, but can't get them to run Virtualbox at all. So I'm trying to figure out if there is a way to get software going in 10.4.1. I've tried repairing the permissions and starting them with Rosetta, but they are all in fact Intel binaries. I've got the SSE2 on my PC and ahave installed the SSE2 - SSE3 patches. Anyone got any ideas ?

mat_london Posted November 25, 2007 Author Share Posted November 25, 2007 OK.... That gives me two new questions, has anyone else even run OSX on Virtualbox before ? I'm sure they have, just can't find a single soul who is talking about it. If you're out there what version of OSX did you use, and how did you do it ? Or could someone PM me with a link to the little ickle 10.4.2 patch please ?Best Maria Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/73238-tiger-running-in-virtual-box/#findComment-518206 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Galen Posted November 1, 2008 Share Posted November 1, 2008 Here's the process with VirtualBox to get Tiger going, for reference purposes: http://forums.virtualbox.org/viewtopic.php?t=2076 This is really compelling, because VirtualBox beats VMWare in terms of performance when running deadmoo. And VirtualBox is free, open source, and available for even more platforms than VMWare! It seems possible to use VirtualBox with Leopard too: http://alex.csgraf.de/self/?qemu/ Problem is that I can't get it to work. I've been using the pcwiz vmware vmdk as a handy starting point. Even with safe mode, adjusting the res down, setting all the backwards compatibility flags I can think of (-f, x86pc, etc.) I can't get it to fully boot. It loads the kexts, then VirtualBox either just abruptly closes, or reports a fatal error and gives a logfile that is (to me) both long and meaningless. I've also tried almost every combination of settings in VirtualBox. Nothing seems to work. I've tried the native and ToH kernels. I will occasionally hack at it, but if I knew the source of the issue, it would go so far in helping guide the process. Another set of solutions for Darwin under Virtual Box: http://sites.google.com/a/puredarwin.org/p...pers/virtualbox It's so close, I can smell it. Anybody want to help? Contribute suggestions?
