Benjin Posted February 22, 2006 Share Posted February 22, 2006 ok i downloaded the maxxuss patch and i'm in the process of getting the osx 10.4.4 dvd, what do i do from there? sorry for being a total noob. from what the readme in the maxxuss patch said was that you needed to have a working osx system to be able to patch the dvd. i definately dont have access to an osx system.

R. Bear Helms Posted February 22, 2006 Share Posted February 22, 2006 I honestly don't know that anyone has a 10.4.4 install from Windows or make a bootable DVD solution. There's a Symantec Ghost image of a 22gb partition with a working 10.4.4 on it - if you get ghost and this partition, all you need do is make sure you have at least 22gb NON allocated on a hard drive, and use Ghost to restore the 10.4.4 there.

Benjin Posted February 22, 2006 Author Share Posted February 22, 2006 ok i'll get 10.4.3, what do i do then? Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/9769-where-do-i-begin-and-what-do-i-do/#findComment-61013 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sabr Posted February 22, 2006 Share Posted February 22, 2006 ok i'll get 10.4.3, what do i do then? I've got an idea... Why don't you try doing it on your own first, by following Maxxuss' guide... Then if you get stuck / have a problem, search the forums first - THEN post your questions... Sorry to be a bit rude, but what's the point of us going through step-by-step what you have to do, when there's plenty on info already available for you.

R. Bear Helms Posted February 22, 2006 Share Posted February 22, 2006 10.4.3 comes as a DMG. There's a windows program that can convert DMG to ISO format. Do not use a trial edition or version that requires registration - the one needing registration won't work right until it IS registered. There may be some open source alternative, something command-line based to convert DMG to ISO. Find the JaS 4.2b patches for 8f1111a - There will be some important programs included there. One will take MD5 checksums of files. You must be sure the original DMG you downloaded has the right MD5 checksum, and doubly sure the ISO conversion also matches what he documents. Then, there's a PPF-o-matic program that takes an ISO for "binary" input, and a PPF file as a patch file. There should be just one JaS PPF file to apply. Apply his patches to the ISO, then check again the resulting ISO MD5 checksum against what it should be. That all turns out OK, burn that ISO to a blank DVD, then boot that. It should take you through installation. The Wiki (see link at top of forum screen) has a "Technical FAQ" which covers the topic of preparing a partition on a hard drive for OS X installation. DO NOT use Disk Utility on the installer to create partitions. It will erase everything on the drive. The only thing you can trust it to do is erase EXISTING partitions. So, if you prep a partition as described in the Technical FAQ, then run the installer, then use Disk Utility to erase a partition like "disk0s2" you will have a volume ready to install onto. After an hour or so, when all's done, the reboot should take you into OS X 10.4.3 - from there you can try getting on the net, reading files off your NTFS volume where Windows XP lives, and so forth.

Benjin Posted February 22, 2006 Author Share Posted February 22, 2006 thanks for the help, and btw all i got in my maxxuss file was Maxxuss, Sep 7, 2005 This is the 5th version (v0.5c) of my Patch solution. It's now SSE3->SSE2 and Anti-TPM all-in-one: 1) SSE3->SSE2 solution: Mac OS X SSE3->SSE2 Runtime Patcher & Emulator, directly in the kernel 2) Anti-TPM solution: Rosetta Patch (oah750/oah750d), which circumvents the TPM copy-protection in a clean way. You can install only 1), only 2) or both patch sets. Use the included script "install.sh" to install the files (with a backup), and/or to restore the original files. The installer also prints a lot of information. Description for SSE3->SSE2 Solution This is a hybrid solution for running Mac OS X/Intel and especially Rosetta under SSE2-enabled CPUs. You don't need SSE3 anymore. Technical Info: It is hybrid, since it uses a three-fold approach: 1) Rosetta's SSE3 instructions (MOVDDUP) are patched at runtime to more-or-less equivalent SSE2 instructions (MOVQ). 2) Relevant system files (CoreGraphics, oah750, libSystem.B.dylib) are pre-patched to enable fast execution speed (emulation is always slow!). I replaced SSE3 instructions (FISTT) with their more-or-less equivalent SSE2 analog (FIST). 3) SSE3 instructions, which raise an "Illegal Instruction" exception are specially treated: 3.1) FISTT instructions are 100% emulated by the kernel. 3.2) All other (unknown) SSE3 instructions are skipped. Please note 3.1): This is rather important, since 2) "Pre-patched files" did not contain all files with SSE3 FISTT instructions in it. So 3.1) ensures that these will be handled, too. Description for Anti-TPM Solution This solution contains two patched files, oah750 and oah750d. The patch suppresses the TPM-related checks which are built into Rosetta (file "oah750") and it's background process "oah750d". By installing this patch, there won't be any Rosetta-related crashes anymore, hopefully. Technical Info: oah750d is responsible for caching transformed code, so it is really required for executing PPC-native code. Another task of oah750d is TPM related verifications on behalf of a executing Rosetta-powered program, e.g. ATSServer or iTunes. I've put the main part of my patch into the oah750 file, so that it will not call oah750d for TPM-related requests anymore. What's in the ISO: - Readme.rtf - install.sh (Open with your Mac OS X' Terminal.app) - Mach kernel with SSE3 emulation for CPUs with SSE2 - SSE3 System files: CoreGraphics, libSystem.B.dylib - SSE2-prepatched System files: CoreGraphics, libSystem.B.dylib - TPM-patched SSE3 file "oah750" - TPM-patched SSE2-prepatch file "oah750" - TPM-patched file "oah750d" How to Install: - Burn CD or simply mount it in your Mac OS X system - Open Terminal.app - Use "cd" command to get into the CD, e.g. "cd /Volumes/MAXXUSS0.5c/" - Type "sudo ./install.sh" - Follow the instructions - Restart Mac OS X - Enjoy. How to Uninstall: - As in "How to Install", but select "r" (Restore) when asked. - Note: you can also uninstall in single user moder (-s at boot prompt). To do this, you should copy the install.sh script to your harddrive. What's new in v0.5 (since v0.4)? - Bug fixes for SSE3->SSE2: Java JVM runs now, also no more WindowServer crashes with SSE3-enabled system files. - Completely new patch for Anti-TPM: no more crashes in oah750d, ATSServer, iTunesHelper, iTunes etc.; also: applications now quit properly without crashes. - I have also fine-tuned the installation process. I hope you like it. Credits: - Thanks for all members and admins of osx86project for testing, feedback, and file mirrors! - Thanks to adilson for the first working patch of oah750d. - Thanks to omni for a refinement of adilson's patch. Please spread the word, and the files! Comments/Feedbacks are very welcome!!!!! What's working and what's not?????

jdxxx Posted February 23, 2006 Share Posted February 23, 2006 Read the simple guide at http://www.macadell.com That will give you the background and where to go. DO NOT try to start with 10.4.4. 10.4.3 works fine, and is much easier! (OR download the ghost image of 10.4.4 and see if you can install that by just writing it to a partition -- this does work for many people and requires no technical experise.) In the end, this is a techie project. If you are not into reading and learning, forget it. If you are, start reading.
