stroke Posted March 13, 2008 Share Posted March 13, 2008 Here's something similar to what yours does, just written entirely in Cocoa. (Yes, the content in there really makes no sense, but it was just to show as an example). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
~pcwiz Posted March 13, 2008 Author Share Posted March 13, 2008 Wow stroke that looks excellent. Problem is I don't know how to program in Cocoa. Stop making me look bad j/k Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stroke Posted March 18, 2008 Share Posted March 18, 2008 Well I would release it, but to be honest, I don't want to be responsible for any troubles that might arise. I can't really test it myself, I don't use OSx86 (I know the copying works, but I didn't want to screw up my system will a full-on test). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NSCXP2005 Posted April 21, 2008 Share Posted April 21, 2008 i've edited the post, do you know how to restore the backed up kernel? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
~pcwiz Posted April 21, 2008 Author Share Posted April 21, 2008 Yes, the backed up kernels are backed up to the root of your partition. To restore it you would go into the F8 boot prompt and enter the backed up kernel name and hit enter (e.g mach_kernel.backup) Once it boots you can use the kernel installer to restore your old kernel.

jpsiemer Posted April 24, 2008 Share Posted April 24, 2008 i had many problems using your program, and then i figured out why.... the new mach_kernel has to be in the same directory as your program or else it just keeps giving a bunch of errors. hope this helps people out who might have trouble with this issue!

~pcwiz Posted April 24, 2008 Author Share Posted April 24, 2008 Hmm...weird. The script is written to accept kernels from anywhere, and I tested it with a kernel from a different directory and it worked fine... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jpsiemer Posted April 24, 2008 Share Posted April 24, 2008 ya.... wierd... either way, got it working. but now i have one small issue and that is i downgraded from vanilla 9.2.2 because it wasnt working out for me, so now i need the 9.2.0 system.kext to get my USB back up and working, and i have no idea where to get it! any ideas?

~pcwiz Posted April 25, 2008 Author Share Posted April 25, 2008 You could get it from the 10.5.2 Kalyway kernels package, or even from the 10.5.2 Apple Combo Update. Use Pacifist to extract the System.kext from one of those packages and install it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JestaGeek Posted June 12, 2008 Share Posted June 12, 2008 pcwiz's OSx86 tools (all-in-one utility) is an improvement on this. You can find it in this (newer) thread. Thanks pcwiz (I'm sure you're way to busy to be going back to all your previous threads to add this link, but I do think it's well worth shouting about. ;-) Of course having a link in your signature is also a good way to get us there (that's how I found it). Cool stuff! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
