Alpha 3
Alpha 3 is now available from the Downloads section. All known issues (except Terminal.app kernel panic from alpha1) have been fixed. Please test and update your bug reports so that they can be marked as Verified.

Note: System.kext has been removed from the alpha archives.

Alpha 2
Alpha 2 of the Voodoo 2 kernel is now available. This is for Intel only. This is an experimental kernel and therefore is not recommended for use in production. Further notifications of alpha versions can be found on the Voodoo2Testing page (the NewsArchive page will not be updated until AMD test phase).

Alpha 1
Alpha 1 of the Voodoo kernel is now available from the Downloads page. This is for Intel users only - the kernel does not contain any AMD CPUID emulation, nor any opcode patcher. AMD users try at your own risk. No bug reports for AMD will be accepted during for the alpha 1 kernel.

Field Note #1 @erick2red 2009-06-16

Testing, and until now, seems great. Still haven't usb2, but the great g++ breakpoints issues was fixed. So i'm extremely happy with this, now just waiting the AMD version of it.
