Parallels 4, On AMD?

Does anyone know how to get it working on amd?
I've tried the method for version 3, but that doesn't work anymore...

In older versions it was rather easy to install Parallels on AMD, you only had to remove the Check for an Genuine Intel processor and the InstallationCheck file. Now it's a bit more difficult, some files are invisible and there's a check about a hardware virtualization. But I have an idea, will try it.

So, I created a version which is installable on AMD. But it doesn't work when it's installed, if you want to start a virtual machine the program still asks for hardware virtualization and stops then. So you even can't convert the virtual machines correctly.

There occured some strange things: After the installation I got a weird error: Transparent menus and so on, take a look in the attachment.

Anyway, I uploaded a AMD installable version to rapidshare, including readme and serials. If anyone will experiment with it, PM me for the link.

How so? Just wondering since I figured I'd give Parallels a try.
