It's already been reported that the Dev PowerMacs run Windows just fine, and apparently WinXP runs pretty quick too. No reason to think all future Intel Macs won't work the same way.

I just can't see how you can get around the lack of hardware driver support without actually writing all the drivers, which would just take too damn long, I'd think. Oh, and not to mention the hardware chip thing...But I'd think that could be overcome before the driver thing is tackled.

f0rbez Posted August 3, 2005 Share Posted August 3, 2005 Apparently, a pretty well known group released a version of OSX x86 that has the hardware limitations cracked out. They claim its working on Intel chips with SSE2+. I can't confirm yet. But if its really by this group then I have no doubt that it works.

fAlCoNNiAn Posted August 3, 2005 Share Posted August 3, 2005 http://www.tuxtalk.org/files/phenix.nfo Nfo file for the release if anyone is interested. Shame on the people in this thread that copied it from the nfo file and never cited it. Nfo of the xiso release: ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????ͻ ? ? Release: Apple MacOS X Tiger *x86* *PROPER* ? ? ? Type: OS ? Format: ISO ? ? ? Archives: 47x50mb ? Date: 08/2005 ? ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????ʻ ? ? System requirements: ?۲?? ? Intel Pentium 4 w/HT/1GB RAM/10GB+ HD ?۲?? ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????۲?? ? ?۲?? ? R E L E A S E N O T E S ?۲?? ? ?۲?? ? Thanks to the guys at phe*NIX who released a non-working copy. Too bad ?۲?? ? we at XiSO had the OSX x86 DVD for a few weeks now, working hard on dis- ?۲?? ? abling the Infineon/Trusted Computing module which is present onboard of ?۲?? ? the "developer" Apple-Intel boxes. As some of you have heard, Rosetta, ?۲?? ? Apple's binary translation software used to convert PPC binaries to x86 ?۲?? ? bytecode at runtime is a primary user of this Trusted Computing module, ?۲?? ? and since majority of OSX Intel apps are actually PPC bins, not much of ?۲?? ? the OS is usable without this binary converter working. So we patched ?۲?? ? that, as well as a check during boot for "supported hardware". Enjoy! ?۲?? ? ?۲?? ????????????????????????? I N S T A L L N O T E S ??????????????????????۲?? ? ?۲?? ? 1. Burn to DVD using your favorite burning software. ?۲?? ? ?۲?? ? 2. Enjoy this fine release from XiSO. ?۲?? ? ?۲?? ? 3. This has been extensively tested on various hardware configurations, ?۲?? ? but you WILL NEED a SSE2+ enabled CPU to run this on. Also, this has ?۲?? ? *NOT* been tested, and not expected to work on AMD CPU's. ?۲?? ? ?۲?? ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????۲?? ? ?۲?? ?

PyX Posted August 3, 2005 Share Posted August 3, 2005 So far it's a real one. I've been following that closely... as well as the PearPC community, which should grow much in 2 months... there will be some speed improvements everywhere :p The thing is, I might be waiting for an emulator that can emulate both SSE2 and SSE3, maybe QEMU will do it... I dunno... when it works, I'll do something with this PC because it needs some *ahem* CHANGES.

+FloatingFatMan Subscriber¹ Posted August 3, 2005 Subscriber¹ Share Posted August 3, 2005 Well, if this IS true, and the XiSO release works on any Intel machine, then it really DOES just show the futility of trying to protect software from piracy... Maybe if they reduced the cost to a more affordable range, and made it more easily available, it would help reduce piracy? I dunno, no easy solution really... It's fairly obvious that a lot of people want to run OSX on their machine, but either won't buy a new computer, or can't afford Apples prices. Maybe it would be better if they sold an unlocked copy for anyone to buy, but only provide support and drivers for official Apple hardware? That way, at least those that don't want/can't get the Apple hardware can still use their OS, and third party hardware vendors can make their own drivers for the OS, in the same way they do for Windows & Linux... Oh, I know it'd impact their sales, but in the end, that's going to happen anyway with the pirated & cracked versions. At least this way they'd maintain plenty of legal sales... I for one, would LOVE a machine that could run both. I'm a developer, learning to program for OSX would increase my employability no end :) But I can't afford an Apple machine, and I don't want to pirate...

TranceSphere Posted August 3, 2005 Share Posted August 3, 2005 The XISO release is fake (both of them). Someone has already managed to disable the detection of sse3 on the install dvd. And its impossible to boot the dvd in VMware (no drivers for the emulated hard drive controller).
