R0GUE · 10-03-2008, 01:37 PM

The always productive PCWiz has released yet another useful application for the Mac OSx86 community: INSTAHackintosh.

INSTAHackintosh is an automated DVD builder that creates for you your own OSx86 DVD that can be perfectly tailored for your computer meaning you just insert the DVD, click through the Installer, install and you have a fully functional OSx86 system, no extra drivers needed. INSTAHackintosh is basically a GUI shell around STVLNUB's powerful INSTAHackintosh.sh script and package (based on works like ritalin's OSx86 patcher and InstaNBI/InstaDMG). This application is currently in beta so once you have tested, please report feedback whether you got it to work or if you got an error (with exact error text and screenshot please) so the problem can be diagnosed. Steps to make your own DVD:

1) Drag your packages into the right sections in the order you want them to be installed
2) Browse and select your OS X Retail DVD DMG and the location you want your finished ISO to be saved in
3) Click Build and wait as your ISO is generated; burn ISO onto a DVD

INSTAHackintosh can be downloaded here (16MB). Please, if possible, use this program on a test partition because this program does run some powerful scripts as root and can harm your system if things go wrong.

IMPORTANT NOTE: If you are planning on making your own packages, a couple of things to note. First of all, mpkg's are not supported. Only single .pkg files are supported. Second, you MUST use PackageMaker 2.1 to make your packages (download here ), the new PackageMaker 3 which is included in current builds of Developer Tools makes packages that are NOT compatible with this app.
