10.6.6 is out

[Ianxxx]

Just updated with no issues "so far" anyone using sleepenabler remember to remove it :)
Also AppleHDA.kext hasn't been updated if anyones worried about loosing their sound.

[RayFlower]

Installed it on my amd system, works fine with the latest nawcom kernel, everything except the ati drivers seems to work for me, have to revert to the macmini drivers.

Same like the Xcode 3.2.5 Update that was avaible some weeks ago this one made my system freezing during "System Optimization", so I applied it manually using Pacifist and rebuild the Caches... The Xcode Update that I wasn't able to apply is now no longer avaible from Software-Update, so this must have been for the same reason.
Apart from that no issues - don't need that App Store crap, new Graphics Drivers are working same way as 10.6.5 ones did...

Also AppleHDA.kext hasn't been updated if anyones worried about loosing their sound.I am still using AppleHDA from 10.6.0/1 that I have patched more than a year ago... :)

I'm about as vanilla as you can get, since 10.6.3 all I have to do is rollback applehda to 10.6.2 apart from that this might as well be a mac ;-)

Working fine here as well. AppStore looks quite nice, although with a very poor selection of apps at the moment. I wonder where are they going with this...

[RayFlower]

Since the app store was mentioned...
I bought Chopper 2 today from the app store, it works but only in 32bit mode, if i run it in 64bit mode i get this:

Also having trouble with connecting my ipod touch with my hackintosh to use it as a controller.

Maybe you should contact the developer "[email protected]" and maybe not mention the word hackintosh ;-)

It's most likely a problem with the legacy kernel plus the custom dyld patching which still doesn't correctly fix everything(yet), had the same problem with halflife2 until nawcom found the solution a few months back by manually patching a qtcompnent.

This is due to no SSSE3 support in your CPU and no SSSE3 emulation by the legacy kernel.

Hum well, its a amd phenom II so to say it doesn't have sse3 support isn't correct however i think it has been mentioned that amd and intel doesn't share the exact same instructions, anyhow thanks for pointing out the lack of sse3 emulation.

SSE3 ≠ SSSE3

SSE3, also called Prescott New Instructions (PNI), is an incremental upgrade to SSE2, adding a handful of DSP-oriented mathematics instructions and some process (thread) management instructions.
SSSE3 is an incremental upgrade to SSE3, adding 16 new opcodes which include permuting the bytes in a word, multiplying 16-bit fixed-point numbers with correct rounding, and within-word accumulate instructions. SSSE3 is often mistaken for SSE4 as this term was used during the development of the Core microarchitecture.


Bulldozer and Bobcat are the first AMD processors to support SSSE3 instructions:

My bad, thanks for pointing that out!

[Ianxxx]

So glad I took the option a while back and went all intel

[RayFlower]

Uhm yeah, well i made my choice before snowleopard came out, the voodoobased kernels for leopard worked just fine so it didn't seem like a big risk to go amd.
However having a macbook pro with snow leopard made me want to migrate to sl on my amd as well, despite the complications:)
But yeah, if i built my computer today i would most likely go for intel:)

@Ray

Why not let the App run 32-Bit like QTX?

When I did it, it meant selling a lot of stuff buying new, starting again and going against my principles, but to be honest it was well worth it

That's what i do, for me it doesn't really matter but I thought I should report the bug anyway since sooner or later we will run into a app that wont run in 32bit.

I don't know if ssse3 emulation is in the scope of the development of the legacy kernel. But seeing how "fundamental" parts of osx uses it(quicklook?), it wouldn't be a bad idea:)
