Rosetta and Driver Upgrades; New Build is Leaked

We've received unconfirmed reports concerning a few interesting new toys under the hood of OSx86 10.4.3, including a vastly improved Rosetta and brand new ATI drivers - each far more complete than in previous builds.

 

First, the Rosetta emulation platform in 10.4.3 build 8F1111A has been upgraded to feature full G4 support, including Altivec. This not only adds a new layer of compatibility to Rosetta, but also improved speed for Altivec-equipped applications. This upgrade is reportedly available as a small downloadable update to build 8F1111.

 

Also, new ATI drivers available in 10.4.3 seem to offer much greater support for PC ATI graphics chipsets. Preliminary reports indicate that they may support most of the 9000 line, and parts of the X series, including mobile chipsets. Apparently NVIDIA systems have not been given this treatment. Is this discrepancy simply due to the pace of driver porting at Apple, or will ATI graphics hold a special place in the Mactel world?

 

On a side note, the weekend brought a newly leaked copy of OSx86 10.4.3 build 8F1111, the most recent seed from Apple. This seed, with its universal binary of iTunes, is a newer version than the build which was recently cracked.

you see, when applying a patch (like a PPF patch), you need to be sure you have the exact file the author had. This isn't the case if we use Maxxuss' patch on this new DVD iso.

 

That's why I"m asking - can people confirm that patching this new DVD with a patch intended for the old one still works and installs fine (that is, removes TPM)?

 

Thanks,

Blackice

Where is the 8F1111A ? :(

 

I have a working 8F1111 here, with a working x86 iTunes... but I want Rosetta with Altivec !!!

 

 

Maybe is not lеаked for now or maybe is leaked but oah files is not available yet ;)

People, stop asking for link to the torrents. Links are not permitted. Figure out yourself how to find the torrent...

 

Installed F111 on top of 1099. My Xbench drop about 30 points. All the things that went down were the graphics stuff (Quarts, OpenGL, etc). Using a D915 with the standard GMA900 graphics adapter.

 

Same thing here....... :( I hope the 8F1111A or the 10.4.4 will correct that...

Hi

 

Trying 8F1111 build with oah 10.4.3 patch. Can't figure how in TransMac and UltraISO,, made a few non bootable iso's in the past.

I can covert the dmg to iso. But can't add file in Transmac. If i delete and copy in UltraISo always end up with non bootable iso. ( As image size changes) Do i have to create a new image in transmac to edit the /usr/libexec/xxx dir .

 

Any walk through appreciated.

 

Okay Managed it

System Version: Mac OS X 10.4.3 (8F1111)

 

Cel-Rock Dual

no sound-yet.

You know why ? I just discovered that Quartz and Core image are now "Not Supported"

 

Better to go back to 8F1099 for the moment with iTunes X86...

8F1111 with iTunes x86....

 

About this Mac shows Processeur 3,2 Ghz ADP2,1 and the previous builds show Intel Pentium 4 !

 

I also get: about3hl.jpg

 

i do not get artifacts from my ati x600 (but I was only getting them when scrolling in safair and am now using shiira). Xbench scores are lower though than 8F1099.

iTunes X86 is working with 10.4.1

 

Import AIFF to AAC : 25x with my pentium 3,2 Ghz. Sounds like iTunes can't work with HT, because it uses only 100 % of my CPU ( with HT, the max is 200 % )

my x86 itunes is cruising along with minimal cpu usage in build 8F1099. i havent tried to import (no cd's handy).

iTunes x86 couldn't work with 10.4.1 as it is using the new abi. Also, with using the 8F1111 with 8F1099 patches isn't really much of an update as the updates in 8F1111 were mostly to Rosetta...

Yes, it works. I tried it ! Do you want a print screen of iTunes 6.0.2 x86 running on 10.4.1 ???

Not saying you're lying just saying that as far as I know 10.4.1 cannot run any of the new applications, but maybe 8F1111 didn't block out 10.4.1.

 

Anyway it looks like whoever said anything about 8F1111A was lying as it doesn't appear to exist. My developer cannot find it via Software Update nor could he find it off of the ADC site. Looks like it was a lie to get our hopes up so Rosetta probably doesn't support Altivec after all.

Guys, what I am trying to figure out is:

 

1. - If I have 10.4.1 working fairly stably, do I need to (should I) worry about upgrading to .4.3? Is it worth it?

2. - Once I have the 10.4.3 immage, will it overwrite my 10.4.1 install or does it upgrade?

3. - Most importantly what is the most stable install out there now? 4.1 or 4.3? Which can run the largest array of programs?

 

Thnks for the help guys....I am barrely running 4.1 semi stable and dont want to ruin it for 4.3 if its not worth it.

I downloaded the dmg.

 

I converted it to iso.

 

I ran that ppm patch on the iso.

 

Now vmware says kernel error or something and I think the iso is unbootable. (it was bootable before).

 

How do I make the ISO bootable?

My 10.4.1 was patched with Maxxuss 10.4.2 on 10.4.1 and 10.4.3 update Userland... maybe that helps ?

 

What a disappointment about Rosetta :(:D:(

 

Anyway, if we will have a Mactel for january, we will have a stable fast working version for january with more applications such as iLife 6 Universal Binary !
