Rebel Efi , Empire EFI and EFi-X dongle

>Hello everybody , this is my first post.

Rebel Efi is an example of how people can stole money using open solution (and Empire Efi is proving that).

I'm tryng to test Empire Efi before buying Efi-x , but I'm looking for a solution that avoid me to waste time that I do not have.


Could be Efi-x dongle be considered the best solution to have a system fully working without worries about tweaking , tuning and so on?

I'm going to test empire efi with this hardware :

Ram :CORSAIR TWIN2X4096-6400C5 DDR2 4GB 2X2GB 800 mhz
Mobo:Gigabyte GA-EP45-UD3R
HD: 2 x SEAGATE Barracuda 500GB SATAII 32MB ST3500320AS
PUS:LC-POWER 750W Metatron PROPHECY LC8750 V2.2
CPU: INTEL CORE 2 QUAD Q9550 2830Mhz 12MB
GC: 9400 GT 1G

EFI-X and Rebel-EFI are examples on how people try to make money by stealing open solutions.

You prefer to worry about bad support and the risk of beeing forced to buy another USB-Flashmemory for a lot of money, once bigger system updates come out?

Using Empire-EFI is easy. Once your done, you can even lunch an installer.mpkg from the CD that makes you able to install the most important drivers to boot your system without the CD.

1 - Please, do not buy this scam. Lots of people worked to create this scene - don't give psystar money for using it. There are tons of methods etc. to try - and believe me, they work better.

2 - It can't be considered as a way to have fully working system without any tweaking. Actually, a Mac is the only way - every "hack" method requires some tweaking/hacking with every update, problem etc. The only difference is that with EFI-x, Psystar is supposed to solve Your problems - and believe me, they wont.

efi-x is a usb drive for 200 dollars
there is only the usual stuff on it that you would install doing a hackintosh on your own

rebel efi goes a step further with the drivers
but is essentially just a rip off that does not work
also it locks to your mainboard - so if you try it on one board and it does not work all the money is gone

empire efi is open source - it credits the people that deserve credit
and it probably works better than rebel efi too

i bought rebel efi
and it didnt work

i hope empire efi gets a boost
lets all support empire efi

empire efi is good
but still not easy and uncomplicated enough

Rebel EFI

To be fair Rebel EFI works rather well, I tried it on 3 different Gigabyte motherboards and worked well. Only problem I couldn't get the network working with a 64 bit kernel. Yes I bought 3 and yes it ties it up to the motherboard but for me its education. I had no luck with Empire EFI from 1.1 to 1.8. In the end I wanted everything working with a 64 bit kernel so I did the vanilla install.
