Voodoo (based) kernel for SL may never be released

Current situation:
- ModBin made some kernels but with no on-the-fly opcode patching
- qoopz made some kernel but again no on-the-fly opcode patching
- Andy tried to do something but they never released any binaries
- Voodoo team has no man power to make new kernel for AMD machines

So there is no Voodoo-based kernel for Snow Leopard and I'm starting to believe it never will be available. Leopard 10.5.x may be latest Mac operating system we can use on AMD machines with no problems.

There has been posted a Voodoo 2.0 Alpha 3 on http://code.google.com/p/xnu-dev/ time ago - and as this was still a 9.x one, so I wouldn't be in such optimistic mood about the voodoo-dev gonna releasing a SL-Voodoo Kernel themself... But I guess it's just a matter of time, till someone ports the opcode patching feature...

Away from the fact that all this effort and depence on development was one of te reasons for me to buy new Intel hardware, I have been on a fully patched system on my old AMD configuration till the end, as the voodoo based kernel never used to work and with all the great tools out there, released by Zephyroth and others - this was never a problematic nor unstable configuration.
